Low Water Pressure in your River Hills Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water always available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills out. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just always there.

So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is serious and instantaneous. Minimal 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 River Hills house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – probably you require a new well pump. This pump, regularly 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 usually last 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped 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 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 River Hills. Their experienced professionals will diagnose your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

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

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for numerous reasons. Age is unavoidable. 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.

Reduced water pressure in a River Hills house is a different scenario, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears in toilets filling slowly, or weak water output from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem could be a plugged iron filter – again, for River Hills homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain enough 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 issue only makes it worse, as costly infrastructure can be harmed or break down entirely.
