Southwest Palm Bay is mostly quarter-acre lots with plenty of new construction. Local real estate agents note that homes outside an HOA here often use septic (Homes.com), and many of the same homes depend on a private well. That makes a working pump essential.
The far southwest, sometimes called "the Compound", is the most remote part of the city, with long stretches of undeveloped lots.
Call (321) 220-9883Why SW Palm Bay wells fail
- Lightning. Open land and frequent summer storms mean surges reach pump circuits.
- Undersized or poorly set tanks on some newer builds, causing short cycling.
- Sand wearing pump parts.
- Power outages and generators during storm season.
Local landmarks
Contractors cover the area around Malabar Road, Minton Road and Jupiter Boulevard, out toward the St. Johns Heritage Parkway, including the neighborhoods near Turkey Creek Sanctuary and McGriff Park.
If your water stops
Check the breaker once, check the tank gauge, and call. Our no water checklist walks through it.
Common questions
Are most homes in southwest Palm Bay on wells?
Many are, especially outside HOA communities. The City of Palm Bay can tell you whether city water reaches your street.
Do you go out to the far southwest?
Yes. Give your cross street when you call.
Can a surge protector help my well pump?
It can reduce the risk of damage from lightning and power surges. Ask the contractor about one when they visit.
