Low Water Pressure in your Brown Deer 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 forth. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just unfailingly there.

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

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Brown Deer home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – very likely 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 waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps typically work for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated 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 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 Brown Deer. Their knowledgeable team will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water up and running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the reason behind no water in the house. Occasionally an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Diagnosing power connections is always the first step taken by Kelly James Service.

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for different reasons. Age is inevitable. 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 drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Low water pressure in a Brown Deer house is a different scenario, 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 might be a clogged iron filter – again, for Brown Deer homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain enough pressure, forcing the pump to constantly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s health.

Frankly, low 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 mechanicals can be damaged or quit working altogether.
