About Bello Pump & Well Service Inc. in Salem, OR

Some companies are built to grow fast. Others are built to last. Bello Pump & Well Service Inc. belongs to the second category. The story begins in 1971, when Bello Well Drilling was founded by Paul Bello. Water systems were not just a business—they were a craft. Years later, in 1993, that foundation evolved into Bello Pump & Well Service Inc., carrying forward decades of experience while expanding services throughout Salem, OR, and surrounding communities.


Family owned and operated since 1973, this company has never been about volume. It has always been about doing the work properly—and standing behind it.

A Foundation Built On Experience

Growing up around pumps and wells shapes a different kind of understanding. Water systems aren’t just mechanical components; they’re essential lifelines for homes, farms, and businesses. With CPI License #4 in the State of Oregon, the credentials speak for themselves. That number reflects early certification in pump installation and a long-standing presence in the industry. Combined with CCB #91470, licensing, bonding, and insurance coverage, every job is performed with professional accountability.


Experience here is not theoretical. It’s hands-on, earned over decades of service calls, installations, troubleshooting, and system upgrades. When you’ve seen thousands of well systems over the years, patterns become clear—and problems are solved faster.

Owner Present On Every Job

One of the defining characteristics of Bello Pump & Well Service Inc. is simple but powerful: the owner is present on every job. There are no rotating crews unfamiliar with your system. No subcontractors guessing at solutions. No rushed installations pushed through for volume. Each project—whether a pressure tank installation, pump repair, or complete water system replacement—receives direct oversight.


That level of involvement ensures that details aren’t missed and shortcuts aren’t taken. Because in water systems, small details matter.

Service Rooted in Community

This isn’t a business that appeared overnight. The roots run deep in Salem, OR.

After graduating from Sprague High School, years of work in the field strengthened both technical knowledge and local relationships. Time served as a medic in the Oregon Army National Guard reinforced discipline, responsibility, and commitment to service. Those experiences shape how work is approached today. Integrity isn’t advertised. It’s practiced.


When someone calls because their water has stopped flowing, the situation is treated with urgency and respect. When a new system is installed, it’s installed with the understanding that families rely on it daily. Community isn’t just a marketing word. It’s the environment this business was raised in.

The Best Equipment—Properly Installed

Equipment matters. But installation matters more. A well pump installed without proper calibration can fail early. A pressure tank that isn’t balanced correctly can strain an entire system. Water treatment equipment must integrate seamlessly with existing components.


The philosophy has always been straightforward:

“The Best Equipment—Properly Installed.”


That approach has sustained the company for decades. It’s why customers call again when they need maintenance, upgrades, or inspections. It’s why referrals remain strong. Reliable water is never an accident. It’s the result of careful work.

Licensed, Bonded, and Insured for Your Protection

Working with well systems involves electrical components, underground infrastructure, and mechanical precision. Professional licensing and insurance aren’t optional—they’re essential. Bello Pump & Well Service Inc. operates under:

  • CPI License #4
  • CCB #91470
  • Licensed
  • Bonded
  • Insured

These credentials protect homeowners and reinforce accountability. Every installation, repair, and inspection is performed to professional standards.

A Commitment to Long-Term Relationships

Some service companies focus on one-time jobs. This company focuses on long-term relationships. When a new pump is installed, the goal is longevity. When repairs are performed, they’re done with long-term reliability in mind. When inspections are scheduled, they’re meant to prevent disruption. That mindset builds trust over time.


Many customers served today are second-generation homeowners who remember the family name from decades past. That kind of continuity cannot be manufactured. It must be earned.
