We are on city water but there’s a few hand pumps throughout the property, which would help so much if I could use those instead of dragging long ass hoses around. The pumps got a hum to it suggesting power works, but the motor is seized. Maybe I don’t know. I’m reaching out locally for professional help but thought I’d ask here first if this kind of thing is an easy fix I could do or just leave it to a pro.
I’ll get the area cleared up before it’s running. Thanks for your concern 😉

Lived on wells for most of my life. Do you hear a clicking when the well pump turns on? If you do that indicates the switch is good, and the problem is in the pump.
In the pump, at least for me(I’m full diy’er, built my own house, et ) is a professional job. Screwing up the well casing pulling the pump or just diagnosing the problem is beyond what I’m good with doing.
If you hear humming it’s likely good pump, maybe just needs primed
I called a local well service when mine started acting up. Turned out to be my submerged pump was bad.
