Low Water Pressure in your Aurora House?

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

We’re used to having water at the ready. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills out. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just reliably there.

So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is unmistakable and urgent. Reduced water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Aurora house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – very likely you need a new well pump. This pump, regularly 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 work for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending 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 a regular occurrence.

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 Aurora. Their experienced team will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water up and running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Every now and then an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Testing power connections is always the initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for many 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Aurora home 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 Aurora homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain sufficient 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 an issue that doesn’t just fix itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as expensive infrastructure can be harmed or quit working altogether.
