Low Water Pressure in your Breezy Knoll 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 forth. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is unmistakable and immediate. Low water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Breezy Knoll house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you need a new well pump. This pump, frequently 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 usually last 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being often ties in 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 Breezy Knoll. Their skilled team will analyze your scenario, and have your water back running 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. Checking power connections is always the first step taken by Kelly James Service.

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for different reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten 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 Breezy Knoll house is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears in toilets filling slowly, or weak water flows from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem might be a plugged iron filter – again, for Breezy Knoll homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain adequate pressure, forcing the pump to constantly 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 an issue that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as pricey machinery can be harmed or quit working altogether.
