Tavares is the Lake County seat, set right in the middle of the chain of lakes, and plenty of its homes and lakefront properties run on private wells.
Pump Repair Services is a local, family-run company that responds immediately, 24 hours a day, with a guaranteed 2-hour emergency arrival when one of those wells stops.
Tavares calls itself America's Seaplane City, sitting on a narrow isthmus between Lake Eustis and Lake Dora at the heart of Lake County's chain of lakes. It is the county seat, but beyond the downtown, a good share of the surrounding homes, lakefront lots, and rural parcels rely on private wells drawing from the Floridan Aquifer, commonly 100 to 400 feet down. When one of those pumps fails, there is no municipal main waiting as a backup.
Like the rest of Lake County, Tavares water runs through Florida limestone, so it carries hardness and mineral scale. Over the years, that scale builds up inside pumps, pressure tanks, and check valves until it causes a failure, and a scaled-in submersible is one of the trickier problems to free without damaging the well. We handle it patiently rather than forcing it.

Summer lightning is the other constant. Central Florida leads the nation in strikes, and about one pump failure in twenty that we see traces back to a lightning hit rather than plain wear. Before we ever condemn a motor around Tavares, we check the control box and wiring to be sure a storm was not the real cause.
Tavares anchors the Golden Triangle along with Eustis and Mount Dora, and we treat the three towns as one connected service area. Many of the wells here have been in the ground for fifteen or twenty years, quietly doing their job until a tank, a switch, or the water level finally forces the issue.

What we repair in Tavares
The full range, across the area
Every service we offer is available throughout the area. The most common calls here are for submersible deep-well pumps, but we handle the full range:
Nearly every well in Tavares is a deep submersible system in the Floridan Aquifer, commonly 100 to 400 feet down. For how these pumps work, why they fail, the brands we install, and how a repair or replacement is done, see our full submersible pump repair page.
The most common call we get in the Tavares area is a pump cycling on and off every few seconds. Almost always the pump is fine, and the pressure tank has lost its air charge, so we check the tank first.
02
Limestone and mineral scale around Tavares
Tavares water is hard, and scale can seize a submersible inside its casing. When a pump is stuck, we soak it overnight with a scale remover at no extra charge rather than risk damaging the well.
03
Lightning strikes on Tavares lots
The open, lake-dotted terrain around Tavares draws plenty of lightning. We test the control box and wiring to confirm whether a strike, not age, took the pump down.
04
Seasonal irrigation demand on larger lots
Lakefront and rural properties often run heavy irrigation, which works pumps hard. We service the pressure switches, control panels, and drop pipe that tend to fail first on high-demand systems.
