Low Water Pressure in your Victory Center House?

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

We’re used to having water readily available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours out. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is profound and instantaneous. Low water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Victory Center home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you require 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 on average operate for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their longevity often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time 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 Victory Center. Their knowledgeable team will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water back running within hours.

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

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for various 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 Victory Center home is a different problem, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Victory Center homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure indicates 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 health.

Frankly, reduced 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 equipment can be harmed or stop working altogether.
