Low Water Pressure in your Nabob House?

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

We’re acclimated to having water instantly available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours forth. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is significant and instantaneous. Reduced water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Nabob house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – chances are you need a new well pump. This pump, regularly 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 lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their longevity 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 Nabob. Their knowledgeable professionals will diagnose your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the culprit of no water in the house. Occasionally an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Diagnosing power connections is always the first step taken by Kelly James Service.

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for various reasons. Age is unavoidable. 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 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 Nabob home is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up in toilets filling slowly, or weak water volume from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem might be a plugged 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 means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to consistently turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s health.

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just fix itself, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as costly infrastructure can be harmed or stop working altogether.
