Low Water Pressure in your Bayside 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 pours forth. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is profound and immediate. Diminished water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Bayside home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – chances are you need a new well pump. This pump, frequently 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 usually work for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their longevity often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time 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 Bayside. Their skilled professionals will diagnose your scenario, and have your water restored within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the reason behind 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 operating for numerous reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten pump life.

So will running water for hours on end, 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 Bayside home is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Bayside homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain adequate pressure, forcing the pump to constantly 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 problem only makes it worse, as expensive machinery can be harmed or quit working altogether.
