32908 is the Palm Bay ZIP code where a private well is most likely to be the only water supply. Much of southwest Palm Bay was platted decades ago as quarter-acre lots, and building has filled in a lot at a time. Many homes outside HOA communities use septic, and many of them use a private well too.
Call (321) 220-9883Common well problems in 32908
- Newer homes, first pump failure. Many homes here are fairly new, so owners are dealing with their first well problem. Often it is a pressure switch or a tank that has lost its air charge, not the pump.
- Lightning and surges. Open, lightly built-up land and summer storms mean pump controls take hits.
- Sand and sediment in the water, which wears pumps and clogs filters.
- Sulfur (rotten egg) smell, a common complaint with Florida well water. It is usually a water quality issue, not a pump fault, but it is worth mentioning when you call.

Common questions
Is southwest Palm Bay on city water?
Parts of it are, and many homes are not. The City of Palm Bay can confirm whether your street is in its water service area.
My new home's pump keeps short cycling. Is that normal?
No. It usually means the pressure tank needs recharging or replacing, or the switch is set wrong. It is worth fixing early to protect the pump.
Do you cover the far southwest of Palm Bay?
Yes. Give us your cross street and we will confirm.
