Bullard sits about 12 miles south of Tyler and is one of the more geographically unusual towns we serve: it straddles the Smith-Cherokee county line, with the northern part of town in Smith County and the southern part in Cherokee County. That means the well regulatory picture actually depends on which side of town a property sits on: the Smith County side currently has no groundwater conservation district, while the Cherokee County side falls under the Neches & Trinity Valleys Groundwater Conservation District. Either way, pump repair and replacement on an existing well isn't a permitted activity on either side of town.

Well pump repair and replacement in Bullard

Whether your well pump has stopped outright, your pressure is fading, or the pump is cycling on and off more than it should, we handle the same range of work in Bullard that we handle everywhere in our service area: diagnosis first, then an honest repair or replacement recommendation. Short-cycling from a waterlogged pressure tank, a pump that's simply aged past its 10 to 12 year average service life, a tripped breaker or bad capacitor, and storm-related electrical damage are the most common calls we get, in Bullard and everywhere else we serve.


What to expect

We ask what you're seeing at the faucet, whether the pump is running, and what's changed recently before recommending anything. A pressure switch replacement and a full pump pull look identical from inside the house (no water, low pressure) but cost very different amounts, so an accurate diagnosis is what keeps you from paying for the wrong fix. See our well pump repair page for symptom-by-symptom detail, or well pump replacement if your system has already been diagnosed as needing a new pump.


No permit required for pump work

Regardless of which county your property sits in, repairing or replacing a pump on an existing well is not a permitted activity anywhere in our service area. Groundwater conservation district oversight in this region concerns new well drilling and high-capacity or commercial wells, not maintenance or replacement work on a residential system that's already in the ground.
