Low Water Pressure in your Grellton Home?

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

We’re used to having water instantly available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills forth. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something interrupts this stability, the shock is serious and instantaneous. Reduced water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Grellton home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – probably you require a new well pump. This pump, regularly 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 operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their well-being often is linked 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 Grellton. Their knowledgeable team will diagnose your situation, and have your water back running 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. Diagnosing 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 operating for many reasons. Age is unavoidable. 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Grellton home is a different situation, 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 Grellton homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Low 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, low water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as pricey equipment can be harmed or stop working altogether.
