Low Water Pressure in your Ashippun House?

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

We’re acclimated to having water at the ready. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours out. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just unfailingly there.

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

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Ashippun house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – very likely you require a new well pump. This pump, sometimes called a water pump, pushes water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps typically last 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their longevity often ties in with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously is a regular occurrence.

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 Ashippun. Their experienced team will diagnose your scenario, and have your water restored within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the reason behind no water in the house. Sometimes an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Checking power connections is always the first step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for numerous reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen pump life.

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

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

The problem might be a plugged iron filter – again, for Ashippun homes with high iron content in water.

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

Frankly, low water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just fix itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as costly equipment can be harmed or stop working altogether.
