Low Water Pressure in your Lake Lac La Belle Home?

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

We’re used to having water at the ready. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills out. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something disrupts this stability, the shock is profound and immediate. Diminished water pressure in the house? 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 Lake Lac La Belle house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – probably you require a new well pump. This pump, frequently called a water pump, pushes water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps typically last 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their health often is linked 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 Lake Lac La Belle. Their knowledgeable team will analyze your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Sometimes an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Checking power connections is always the first step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for many reasons. Age is unavoidable. 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.

Minimal water pressure in a Lake Lac La Belle house 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 might be a clogged iron filter – again, for Lake Lac La Belle homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to consistently turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s health.

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just solve itself, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as costly machinery can be harmed or quit working altogether.
