Low Water Pressure in your Ebenezer Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water always available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes out. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something disrupts this stability, the shock is significant and instantaneous. 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 Ebenezer home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – very likely you require a new well pump. This pump, often 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 on average work for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their longevity often connects with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time is not uncommon.

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 Ebenezer. 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 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 wear out for numerous reasons. Age is unavoidable. 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 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 Ebenezer home is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up in toilets filling slowly, or weak water flows from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem could be a plugged iron filter – again, for Ebenezer 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 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 disappear, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as costly mechanicals can be harmed or break down entirely.
