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 pours forth. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just always there.

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is profound and urgent. Minimal water pressure in the home? 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 Brown Deer house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – probably you need a new well pump. This pump, often 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 lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously is a regular occurrence.

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 Brown Deer. Their experienced professionals will analyze your scenario, and have your water running again 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 initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for different reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce 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 home is a different problem, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up in toilets filling slowly, or weak water flows 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. Low or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain adequate pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

Frankly, reduced water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just fix itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as pricey equipment can be harmed or quit working altogether.
