Low Water Pressure in your Nabob Home?

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

We’re used to having water at our fingertips. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours forth. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is undeniable and immediate. Diminished water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Nabob home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood 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 waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps on average last 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their health often connects with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously 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 Nabob. Their knowledgeable professionals will diagnose your situation, and have your water restored within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the culprit of no water in the house. Sometimes an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Testing 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 different reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce pump life.

So will running water for hours at a time, 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 Nabob house is a different problem, 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Nabob 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 sustain required pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s health.

Frankly, low water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as costly equipment can be harmed or stop working altogether.
