Low Water Pressure in your Heath Mills Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water at our fingertips. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours forth. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just unfailingly there.

 

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is serious and urgent. Minimal water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to worry.

 

Maybe yes … or no.

 

If you have no water pressure in your Heath Mills home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you need a new well pump. This pump, sometimes called a water pump, moves water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

 

Well pumps on average operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their health often ties in 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 Heath Mills. Their skilled professionals 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. Sometimes an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Checking power connections is always the initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

 

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for myriad 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.

 

Low water pressure in a Heath Mills home is a different situation, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up in toilets filling slowly, or weak water volume from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

 

The problem could be a plugged iron filter – again, for Heath Mills homes with high iron content in water.

 

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure means 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 health.

 

Frankly, reduced water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as costly mechanicals can be damaged or stop working altogether.
