Low Water Pressure in your Cheeseville 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 magic barely registers. The water’s just unfailingly there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is profound and instantaneous. Diminished water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Cheeseville house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – very likely you require a new well pump. This pump, often called a water pump, moves water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps typically operate for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being often ties in 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 Cheeseville. Their knowledgeable 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 repairable issue. Checking power connections is always the first step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

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

Low water pressure in a Cheeseville house is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself in toilets filling slowly, or weak water output from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem might be a clogged iron filter – again, for Cheeseville homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to constantly 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 solve itself, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as costly equipment can be damaged or stop working altogether.
