Low Water Pressure in your Theresa Station Home?

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

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

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is significant and urgent. Reduced water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Theresa Station home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – probably you need a new well pump. This pump, often called a water pump, drives water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps typically operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their well-being often connects with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time is a regular occurrence.

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 Theresa Station. Their skilled professionals will diagnose your scenario, and have your water restored within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Occasionally an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable 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 different reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Theresa Station 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Theresa Station homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain sufficient 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 issue only makes it worse, as costly mechanicals can be harmed or stop working altogether.
