Low Water Pressure in your Herman Center Home?

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

We’re used to having water readily available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours forth. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is profound and urgent. Diminished water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

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

Well pumps usually 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 at the same time is not uncommon.

What is the reason for no water pressure in the house? The first step is to call Kelly James Service, the well pump and water solutions provider in Herman Center. Their experienced team will diagnose your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Every now and then an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Checking power connections is always the first 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 shorten 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 drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Herman Center home is a different problem, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself in toilets filling slowly, or weak water volume from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

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

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

Frankly, reduced water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as pricey infrastructure can be damaged or break down entirely.
