Low Water Pressure in your Alderley Home?

No Water? Might Need a New Well Pump … Or Something Else

We’re acclimated to having water at our fingertips. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes forth. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is significant and immediate. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Alderley home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – chances are you need a new well pump. This pump, frequently called a water pump, moves water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps on average operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their well-being often ties in with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously is not uncommon.

What is the cause of no water pressure in the house? The first step is to call Kelly James Service, the well pump and water solutions provider in Alderley. Their skilled team will analyze your situation, and have your water running again within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Periodically an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Diagnosing power connections is always the initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop operating for many reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce pump life.

So will running water for hours on end, such as filling a pool or watering grass. These activities can lower the underground water table which, if it goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Alderley house is a different situation, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears in toilets filling slowly, or weak water flows from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem could be a clogged iron filter – again, for Alderley homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to consistently turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as pricey mechanicals can be damaged or quit working altogether.
