Well pump running constantly in Hansville, WA

The likely causes here

A waterlogged pressure tank: rapid short-cycling, on and off every few seconds, means the tank has lost its air charge. In Hansville that usually means shallow lines under 1950s cabins near Point No Point, and the ground, trenches that fill as they're dug, decides how far the water travels before you see it.

The second thing we rule in or out is a leak inside the house. Cycling stops when the house shutoff is closed. It's common enough on wooded parcels along Twin Spits Road that we never skip it.

Finally, a failed check valve. Lets water drain back down the well when the pump stops. Worth five minutes before anyone digs beach sand right at the water table.

What to check first

At Point No Point, Twin Spits and Driftwood Key the sand and the high water table mean leaks never surface and trenches fill as they're dug, so we locate carefully from the PUD meter or the shared main and bring pumps.

What you can check yourself on Point No Point and Twin Spits cabin lots: note the rhythm: slow steady cycling or rapid short-cycling. Close the valve after the pressure tank and watch the gauge. If you get that far, we'll pick it up from there with pipe locator and pressure gauges and isolation.
