Low Water Pressure in your Oak Creek Home?

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

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

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is unmistakable and urgent. Diminished water pressure in the house? 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 Oak Creek house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – very likely 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 typically last 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their longevity often connects with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously 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 Oak Creek. Their experienced professionals will diagnose your situation, and have your water back running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the reason behind no water in the house. Sometimes an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Testing power connections is always the first step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for different reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten 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 drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Oak Creek house is a different scenario, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up in toilets filling slowly, or weak water output from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem might be a plugged iron filter – again, for Oak Creek homes with high iron content in water.

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

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just fix itself, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as expensive equipment can be damaged or stop working altogether.
