Low Water Pressure in your Hustisford Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water instantly available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills forth. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is serious and instantaneous. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Hustisford house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – probably you need a new well pump. This pump, sometimes called a water pump, moves 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 lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their longevity often connects 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 Hustisford. Their experienced team will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water restored within hours.

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

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

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

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

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain enough pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s health.

Frankly, reduced water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just solve itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as expensive infrastructure can be damaged or stop working altogether.
