Low Water Pressure in your Whitefish Bay 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 forth. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just reliably there.

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is undeniable and instantaneous. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Whitefish Bay house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you require a new well pump. This pump, often called a water pump, pushes 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 lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being often is linked 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 Whitefish Bay. Their experienced professionals will analyze your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

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

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop operating for different 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 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 Whitefish Bay home 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 could be a clogged iron filter – again, for Whitefish Bay homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure means 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 health.

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