Low Water Pressure in your Lebanon House?

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

We’re used to having water at the ready. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills out. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just unfailingly there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is serious and urgent. Diminished water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

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

Well pumps usually operate for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their longevity often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously 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 Lebanon. Their experienced team will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for various 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 pursuits 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 Lebanon house is a different problem, 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 links to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain enough 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 go away, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as expensive equipment can be harmed or stop working altogether.
