Low Water Pressure in your Lebanon House?

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

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

So when something disrupts this stability, the shock is undeniable and instantaneous. Diminished water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Lebanon 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 awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps usually last 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their health often connects 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 Lebanon. Their skilled team will analyze your situation, and have your water up and running within hours.

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

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for different reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen pump life.

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

Low water pressure in a Lebanon home is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up 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 plugged iron filter – again, for Lebanon homes with high iron content in water.

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

Frankly, low water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as expensive mechanicals can be damaged or quit working altogether.
