Low Water Pressure in your Franklin Home?

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

We’re used to having water instantly available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours out. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just reliably there.

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is significant and instantaneous. Decreased water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Franklin house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – chances are you require a new well pump. This pump, frequently 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 on average last 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their well-being often ties in 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 Franklin. Their knowledgeable team will analyze your situation, and have your water up and running within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for various reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen pump life.

So will running water for hours at a time, such as filling a pool or watering grass. These pursuits 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 Franklin home is a different scenario, 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 might be a plugged iron filter – again, for Franklin homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain enough pressure, forcing the pump to consistently 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 solve itself, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as pricey mechanicals can be damaged or stop working altogether.
