Low Water Pressure in your Theresa 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 part barely registers. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is profound and immediate. Diminished water pressure in the home? 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 home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – probably you need a new well pump. This pump, occasionally 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 duration can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their health often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously 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 Theresa. Their experienced professionals will diagnose your scenario, 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 repairable issue. Diagnosing power connections is always the first step taken by Kelly James Service.

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for numerous reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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 drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Theresa home is a different issue, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears 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 homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain required 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 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.
