Low Water Pressure in your Brown Deer 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 registers. The water’s just dependably there.

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

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Brown Deer house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – chances are you need a new well pump. This pump, sometimes called a water pump, drives water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for 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 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 Brown Deer. Their knowledgeable professionals will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water back 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 repairable issue. Checking power connections is always the initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for various 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 activities can lower the underground water table which, if it goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Brown Deer house is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears 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 Brown Deer homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain required pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly 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 an issue that doesn’t just solve itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as pricey machinery can be damaged or stop working altogether.
