Low Water Pressure in your Greendale Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water always available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills forth. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just always there.

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is profound and urgent. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Greendale house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – probably you require a new well pump. This pump, occasionally called a water pump, moves 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 well-being 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 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 Greendale. Their skilled professionals will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water running again within hours.

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

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for various reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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.

Low water pressure in a Greendale home is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself 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 Greendale homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain required pressure, forcing the pump to consistently 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 disappear, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as expensive infrastructure can be damaged or quit working altogether.
