Low Water Pressure in your Whitefish Bay House?

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

We’re used to having water instantly available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours out. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just always there.

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is serious and urgent. Minimal water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Whitefish Bay home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – probably 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, based 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 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 Whitefish Bay. Their skilled professionals will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water restored 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. Checking power connections is always the initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

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

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

The problem could be a plugged 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 maintain required pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly 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 disappear, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as costly equipment can be harmed or stop working altogether.
