Low Water Pressure in your Sunset Beach Home?

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

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

So when something interrupts this stability, the shock is serious and urgent. Low water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Sunset Beach house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – chances are 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 awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps usually last 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, depending 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 Sunset Beach. Their skilled professionals will analyze 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 fixable issue. Diagnosing 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 myriad reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce pump life.

So will running water for hours on end, 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.

Low water pressure in a Sunset Beach 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Sunset Beach 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 constantly 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 a problem that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as pricey mechanicals can be damaged or stop working altogether.
