At Kappus Well Pump Repair & Water System Services
— The Pump Man, we focus on one thing:
Keeping your home’s water flowing, safely and reliably.
We are a family-owned, fourth-generation well pump and water system company specializing exclusively in private well water systems for homeowners across
Putnam, Dutchess, Westchester, Rockland, and Orange Counties.
Unlike plumbers, electricians, or general home-service companies, we work only on private well water systems. This specialization means faster diagnosis, fewer return visits, and repairs done the right way the first time.
Why You Should Call a
Well System Specialist First
- Well pumps are not plumbing.
- Well pumps are not electrical work.
- Well pumps require specific tools & equipment to service.
- Well pumps are their own specialized trade.
Well pumps require a highly specialized knowledge base that plumbers, electricians, and general home-service technicians are simply not trained in.
Homeowners often call the wrong company, which leads to:
- Misdiagnosis
- Delays
- Double service calls
- Higher cost
- Days without water
- Plumbers often refer pump issues to well specialists.
- Electricians can rule out power issues, but cannot diagnose pump mechanics.
- Big multi-trade companies don’t stock pump retrieval equipment or deep-well parts.
When you call The Pump Man:
- You get specialists, not generalists.
- We diagnose electrical & mechanical issues together.
- Our trucks are stocked for same-day repair.
- We are trained specifically in pump systems, electric motors, and pressure control.
- We carry specialized tools and equipment dedicated to our industry that plumbers won’t have.
This is why plumbers, electricians, home-service companies, and contractors call us when they encounter a well pump problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long has The Pump Man been in business?
We’re a family-owned, fourth-generation well pump and water system company with roots going back to 1910. Over more than a century we’ve focused our expertise entirely on private well water systems across New York’s Hudson Valley.
What areas do you serve?
We serve homeowners across Putnam, Dutchess, Westchester, Rockland, and Orange Counties. If you’re not sure whether you’re in our service area, give us a call and we’ll let you know.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We are fully licensed and insured, and we hold a New York State DEC Well Pump Installer License (#NYRD10652). Our technicians are trained specifically in well pump and water system work — not general plumbing or electrical.
Do you do plumbing or general home repairs?
No. We specialize exclusively in private well water systems — well pumps, pressure tanks, water lines, constant pressure systems, and water filtration. We don’t do general plumbing, HVAC, electrical, or handyman work. That focus is exactly why we can diagnose and fix water system problems faster and more accurately than a generalist.
Why call a well system specialist instead of a plumber?
Well pumps are their own trade. Plumbers often refer pump problems to specialists, and electricians can rule out power issues but can’t diagnose pump mechanics. We carry the specialized tools, pump-retrieval equipment, and deep-well parts that general trades don’t stock — so we get it right the first time.
