Longview sits about 35 miles east of Tyler in Gregg County, and a lot of properties outside the city's water service area rely on private wells. Gregg County currently has no groundwater conservation district of its own; it has agreed to join a proposed 16-county Northeast Texas district that still needs state legislative approval before it exists, which won't happen before the 2027 session. In practical terms, that means well activity in Longview and the rest of Gregg County isn't currently subject to local GCD permitting, though a State Well Report from a licensed driller is still required for any new well.

Well pump repair and replacement in Longview

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 Longview 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 Longview 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.
