Low Water Pressure in your Aurora Home?

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

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

So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is unmistakable and instantaneous. Reduced 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 Aurora home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you require a new well pump. This pump, occasionally 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 health 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 knowledgeable team will analyze your scenario, and have your water restored 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 fixable issue. Checking power connections is always the first step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for numerous reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Aurora home is a different situation, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears 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 Aurora homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure indicates 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, 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 pricey equipment can be damaged or break down entirely.
