ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — At MB HAYNES, we’ve always prided ourselves on delivering comprehensive mechanical, electrical and plumbing solutions throughout Western North Carolina and the South Carolina Upstate. As part of our continued commitment to serving our customers’ full scope of needs, we’re excited to announce that our Plumbing Division now offers professional well pump pulling services — a crucial addition to our lineup that brings expertise, reliability and a deep sense of care to homeowners and businesses relying on well systems.
Why we’ve added well pump pulling to our services
Many properties, both residential and commercial, depend on groundwater wells—whether for potable water, irrigation, livestock or sanitation. When a well system malfunctions — be it the pump, pipe string, electrical feed or casing — it can disrupt everyday life and operations. That’s where pump pulling comes into play: retrieving submersible pumps, drop pipes, electrical lines or other down‐hole equipment to assess, repair or replace them. According to industry guidance, pulling and replacing a pump becomes necessary when the system’s performance drops, pressure fluctuates or the water quality deteriorates.
By bringing this service in‐house, MB HAYNES offers our clients:
- A single partner for wiring, plumbing, controls and well equipment
- Technicians with the training and multi‐trade capability to coordinate work internally
- The same high standards of safety, warranty and responsiveness you expect from us
What the process looks like
Here’s how our well pump pulling service typically unfolds — bringing clarity so you know what to expect:
1. Initial consultation and inspection
We begin with a review of your system: well log (if available), pump manufacturer, depth and symptoms (low pressure, intermittent water, unusual noises, discoloration, etc.). This aligns with best practices for well service in determining when intervention is needed.
2. Equipment mobilization
Our well‐service crew brings the specialized rig or truck, hoist or winch mechanism, pipe racks or drop‐pipe stands, cables, safety gear and documentation. We ensure site prep, safety barricades and de-energization are all handled before we pull the equipment.
3. Pulling the downhole assembly
Whether it’s a submersible pump, drop pipes, cables or a combination, we carefully hoist the assembly straight up out of the well casing, taking care to protect wiring and pipe strings. As noted in industry guidance, “pull your pump straight up and out of its casing, while your partner helps pull up the wire.”
4. Evaluation and repair/replacement
Once out, we inspect the pump motor, cables, check valves, pitless adapter, pipes and clean out sediment or mineral build‐up. If parts are worn beyond repair, we offer replacement options. The decision whether to repair vs. replace is grounded in condition, age, cost and future performance.
5. Reinstallation and testing
We reinstall the system, align the plumbing and electrical connections, ensure everything meets code and safety standards, reconnect the well cap and site safeguards and then run tests: flow rate, pressure, current draw, water clarity and system stabilization.
As one expert outlines, “run the pump and check water quality. Water should be clean and clear of impurities such as silt and sand.”
We will disinfect the well in accordance with state codes.
6. Follow‐up and maintenance advice
To help prolong the life of your system, we provide guidance on maintenance schedules, water quality monitoring and indications of when another pulling may be needed (for example, declining yield or rising current draw).

The benefits to you
With our well pulling services at MB HAYNES, you enjoy several key advantages:
- Minimized downtime: Our experienced crews work efficiently, reducing the time your well system is out of service.
- Improved performance and reliability: By replacing worn or underperforming equipment before it fails catastrophically, you protect your property from sudden water loss.
- Better water quality: Removing old equipment and sediment buildup can improve clarity, lower maintenance and prevent compound harm to downstream plumbing.
- Safety and compliance: We take safety seriously, from de-energizing systems to securing wellheads and ensuring all legal/regulatory requirements are met.
- Single‐source accountability: You already trust us for your structured cabling, mechanical and plumbing work. Now you don’t have to engage a separate well contractor.
- Warranty and support: As a 100% employee-owned company, we stand behind our workmanship — and we treat your property like our own.
Signs it’s time to call in our well pulling specialists
Here are some key warning signs that your well system might need a pull, evaluation or replacement:
- No water
- Fluctuating or low water pressure in home or irrigation system
- The pump runs unusually long, short-cycles or draws higher current
- Sediment, sand or discolored water coming from the taps
- Unusual noises from the pump or pressure tank (if present)
- Sharp increases in electric bills tied to pump motor usage
- The well is older (10+ years) and has had limited service history
If you’re seeing any of these, now is a wise time to schedule an inspection. Waiting too long may lead to more extensive repair, loss of yield or even well failure.
Why this matters for Western NC and South Carolina Upstate
