Well pumps and water systems in Yakima
Submersible, turbine, agricultural and irrigation pumps installed and replaced, matched to the well, the tank and the controls so the whole system runs as one.
Chapter 01
When a well stops behaving like one system
A well system is a pump in the casing, a tank, a pressure switch and the wiring that ties them together, and each part is sized and bought separately. That is why trouble shows up in odd ways: no water at all, pressure that sags in the shower, a pump that runs and runs, or taps that spit air. In the Yakima Valley the first call is usually to whoever answers the phone fastest, and Castle answers at any hour.
Jamie Rookstool wrote that her well “was sputtering and creating air pockets,” and that the crew came out fast, assessed it and had it fixed the same day. Justin Thompson called Castle after another company said his well could not be fixed, and he wrote that they “fixed my well that another company said couldn’t be fixed.” Both stories start the same way: someone looked at the whole system instead of swapping the one part that was easiest to blame.
If your well is acting up, call the shop at (509) 580-0470 or the Tieton pump line at (509) 517-6480. Describe what the taps are doing and Rob Weaver's crew will tell you whether it sounds like the pump, the controls or the wiring.

How the crew sets a pump in the valley
Castle installs and replaces submersible pumps, turbine pumps, agricultural well pumps and irrigation pumps. A submersible sits down in the water inside the casing and pushes it up the drop pipe. A turbine or irrigation pump is built for the larger volumes a farm or orchard asks for. The right choice depends on the depth of the well, how much water it gives, and what the property needs to run on it.
The work starts with the hoist truck. The mast goes up over the wellhead and the crew pulls the drop pipe out of the ground, joint by joint, to bring the old pump to the surface. The new pump is matched to the well's depth and flow, lowered back down on fresh connections, and only then tied into the controls. Pump, tank, pressure switch and wiring get checked as one system before the truck leaves.
The crew works with trusted brands such as Grundfos, Franklin and Square D, with Grundfos and Franklin on the pump side and Square D on the controls. Because Castle holds its own electrical contractor license, the wiring to the pump house gets done by the same people who set the pump.
Chapter 03
Farms, rentals and wells that feed more than one house
Some wells carry far more than one kitchen. Jose Sanchez has two wells serving 30 plus houses, and when he lost a pump he was in what he called a tough bind. Rob answered right away and sent Joel and his team, they repaired the issues, and Rob personally went to get the part and delivered it to them. That is how a family company that has worked the valley since 1991 handles a shared well.
Rentals and ranches bring a different wrinkle: the wiring. Zeke Turner wrote that a wiring issue at one of his rentals left a tenant without water, and Rob and his guys took care of it the next day. When a pump house sits a long way from the panel, an undersized feeder or a tired breaker can look exactly like a dead pump.
Castle's electrical contractor license, CASTLPE842NN, is what lets one crew read both sides of that problem. For irrigation pumps, agricultural wells and anything shared across several homes, call (509) 580-0470 and ask Rob's crew to walk the system with you.
