How your well system works
Most homes outside city water in Greene and Christian County use a drilled well with a submersible pump. Knowing the main parts makes it easier to describe a problem and understand what a contractor recommends.
- Well cap: seals the top of the casing to keep out insects, rodents, and surface water.
- Casing: steel or plastic pipe that lines the upper part of the well and seals off shallow groundwater.
- Pitless adapter: the fitting where the water line leaves the casing underground, below the frost line.
- Drop pipe, wire, and pump: the pump sits below the water level and pushes water up to the house.
- Pressure tank and switch: store water under pressure and tell the pump when to start and stop.

Why local well construction matters
Springfield sits in karst country. Missouri DNR describes the region’s limestone and dolomite as full of sinkholes, caves, springs, and losing streams that can carry surface water underground quickly. A U.S. Geological Survey study of Greene County counted roughly 2,500 sinkholes and documented groundwater contamination from sources like sewage and fertilizer.
To protect drinking water, Missouri’s well construction rules for this area require bedrock wells to be cased below the confining layer that separates the shallow aquifer from the deeper Ozark aquifer. In practice that means deep wells, long casings, and pumps set far down. A damaged cap, a cracked casing, or a leaking pitless adapter matters more here than in many places, because it can open a path for surface water into the well.
Did you know? Wells drilled in Missouri after July 31, 1987 should have a state record. Our guide shows how to look up your well’s record, which often lists its depth and construction date.
Well service FAQ
What does a well service visit usually include?
It depends on the problem, but a contractor typically checks the pressure switch and gauge, the pressure tank’s air charge, the electrical supply and controls, and the pump’s amperage. They may also check the well cap and look for leaks or signs of contamination.
Do you help with well drilling?
Our focus is repair and service for existing wells and pumps. If you need a new well drilled, call and tell us where the property is. We’ll let you know honestly whether we can connect you with a driller in your area.
Who regulates private wells in Missouri?
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources sets well construction standards and permits well drillers and pump installation contractors. Water testing is handled through the Missouri State Public Health Laboratory and local health departments.
