Low Water Pressure in your Neosho Home?

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

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

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is undeniable and urgent. Reduced 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 Neosho home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – very likely you require a new well pump. This pump, regularly 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 work for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their longevity often ties in 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 Neosho. Their experienced professionals will diagnose 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 fixable issue. Testing power connections is always the first step taken by Kelly James Service.

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for various 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 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 Neosho house is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears in toilets filling slowly, or weak water output from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

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

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

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as expensive machinery can be harmed or quit working altogether.
