Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question about your well, pump, or one of our services? We've answered the most common ones below. Don't see what you're looking for? Give us a call at 402-988-2055—we're happy to help.
Q: What areas do you serve?
A: Harper Well & Plumbing serves residential, agricultural, and commercial clients throughout Lincoln, NE, and the surrounding region, including Gage, Lancaster, Otoe, Cass, and Saline counties.
Q: How do I know if my well pump needs to be replaced?
A: Common signs include low water pressure, sputtering faucets, the pump running constantly, discolored or gritty water, or no water at all. If you're noticing any of these issues, give us a call—we can diagnose the problem and let you know whether a repair or replacement is the right move.
Q: How long does a water well typically last?
A: A properly drilled and maintained water well can last 20–40 years or more. The pump and related components typically have a lifespan of 10–15 years, depending on use and water quality. Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your entire system.
Q: Do you drill new wells?
A: Yes. Harper Well & Plumbing drills new water wells for residential, commercial, and agricultural clients. We have the equipment and experience to drill to the right depth for your property and water needs.
Q: What is a solar well, and is it right for my property?
A: A solar well uses solar panels to power a water pump—no grid electricity needed. It's a great option for rural or remote properties, farms, livestock operations, and anyone looking to reduce ongoing energy costs. We can assess your property and water needs and help you decide if solar is a good fit.
Q: Do you install septic systems?
A: Yes. We install septic systems for residential and commercial properties throughout our service area. We also install water lines, hydrants, and automatic livestock waterers.
Q: What is involved in a septic system installation?
A: Installation begins with a site evaluation and permitting. From there, our team excavates the site, installs the tank and drain field, and backfills and restores the area. We handle the process from start to finish and make sure everything meets local code requirements.
