Well pump trouble in Kankakee County? Get referred to a local well contractor.
No water, sputtering taps, or a pump that won't shut off? Call or send the short form and we pass your request to one independent well and pump contractor who serves your town. The contractor follows up with you directly, and the referral is free. You decide whether to hire them.

No water right now?
Three safe checks before you call
These take a minute and help the contractor arrive with the right parts. Stop at any step that feels unsafe.
- Check the breaker once. If the well pump breaker is tripped, reset it one time. If it trips again, leave it off and call.
- Read the pressure gauge. Note the number on the gauge near the pressure tank. Zero, or a needle that swings, tells the contractor a lot.
- Leave the control box closed. Pumps run on 115 or 230 volts and capacitors can hold a charge after the power is off. That part is the contractor's job.
Free referral to an independent contractor. We don't promise arrival times; the contractor will tell you when they can come.

Kankakee Well Pump is operated by LPP Ventures LLC, dba P2MC Systems. About us and our sources
Before you hire
Typical costs, with the source
National installed ranges from HomeGuide's 2026 well pump cost guide. They are not Kankakee quotes: well depth, pump size, and what else is worn move the price. Ask for a written estimate.
Many "pump failures" are actually a failed pressure switch, a waterlogged tank, or a bad capacitor, which are much cheaper fixes.

| Submersible pump, installed | $1,000–$2,500 |

| Deep-well jet pump, installed | $500–$1,400 |

Questions
Questions about the referral
Am I on city water or a private well?
If you pay a water bill to a utility or village, you are on public water. In Kankakee County, Aqua Illinois serves Kankakee, Aroma Park, Bourbonnais, Bradley, Grant Park, Limestone, Manteno, Sun River Terrace and parts of several townships, per the Illinois Commerce Commission's 2023 utility directory. Some villages run their own systems. No water bill and a pressure tank in the basement usually means a private well.
Does the referral cost me anything?
No. The referral is free to you. The contractor may pay us a fee for the referral. You only pay the contractor if you choose to hire them, on terms you agree with them.
Who follows up with me?
An independent well and pump contractor who serves your area. They are not our employees. We do not do the work, and you decide whether to hire them.
What details should I have ready?
Your town, what the water is doing, when it started, the reading on the pressure gauge, and the pump's age if you know it.
Do you send my request to several companies?
No. We share your details with one local contractor only, so you are not flooded with calls.
What do you do with my information?
We share it with the contractor we refer you to so they can contact you about this request. See our privacy policy.
