Low Water Pressure in your Nasbro House?

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

We’re acclimated to having water at our fingertips. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills forth. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just unfailingly there.

So when something interrupts this stability, the shock is profound and urgent. Decreased 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 Nasbro home – 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 on average operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their health often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time 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 Nasbro. Their experienced team will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

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

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop operating for different reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce 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 goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Nasbro home is a different situation, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself in toilets filling slowly, or weak water output from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem could be a clogged iron filter – again, for Nasbro 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 maintain enough pressure, forcing the pump to constantly 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 fix itself, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as expensive equipment can be harmed or break down entirely.
