Low Water Pressure in your Aurora Home?

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

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

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

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Aurora home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – probably you require 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 usually work for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their well-being often connects 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 Aurora. Their experienced team will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water running again within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the source 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 issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for different reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen pump life.

So will running water for hours at a time, such as filling a pool or watering grass. These pursuits can lower the underground water table which, if it plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Low water pressure in a Aurora home 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 Aurora 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 enough pressure, forcing the pump to consistently turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

Frankly, low water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as pricey infrastructure can be harmed or break down entirely.
