Low Water Pressure in your Ebenezer Home?

No Water? Might Need 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 spills forth. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just unfailingly there.

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is undeniable and urgent. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Ebenezer home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you require a new well pump. This pump, often 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 on average work for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, based 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 simultaneously 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 team will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water restored within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Periodically an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Checking power connections is always the initial 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 reduce 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.

Low water pressure in a Ebenezer home is a different situation, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself in toilets filling slowly, or weak water output 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 indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to constantly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

Frankly, reduced 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 expensive equipment can be damaged or stop working altogether.
