Low Water Pressure in your Greenfield Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water instantly available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes out. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just dependably there.

 

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is serious and immediate. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to freak out.

 

Maybe yes … or no.

 

If you have no water pressure in your Greenfield house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood 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 awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

 

Well pumps typically operate for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their longevity often connects 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 Greenfield. Their experienced team will analyze your scenario, and have your water up and running within hours.

 

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

 

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for numerous reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten pump life.

 

So will running water for hours on end, such as filling a pool or watering grass. These pursuits 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 Greenfield house is a different situation, 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 Greenfield homes with high iron content in water.

 

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain required pressure, forcing the pump to constantly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

 

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just solve itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as expensive machinery can be damaged or break down entirely.

 

The proactive decision – whether you have minimal water pressure in a house, or none at all – is to call Kelly James Service.

It will be once again at your fingertips – precisely as you expect it to be.  We are your proud Greenfield well pump service professionals!
