Low Water Pressure in your Glenn Oaks Beach Home?

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

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

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is significant and urgent. Diminished water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Glenn Oaks Beach house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you require a new well pump. This pump, sometimes called a water pump, drives water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps on average last 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending 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 simultaneously 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 Glenn Oaks Beach. Their experienced team will analyze 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. Occasionally an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Testing 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 lessen 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 drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Glenn Oaks Beach home is a different issue, 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 Glenn Oaks Beach homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain sufficient 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 issue only makes it worse, as expensive equipment can be damaged or break down entirely.
