Low Water Pressure in your Wayne Home?

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

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

So when something disrupts this stability, the shock is profound and instantaneous. Minimal water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

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

Well pumps typically work for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being 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 Wayne. Their knowledgeable team will analyze your scenario, and have your water up and running 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. Testing power connections is always the first step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for many reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

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

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

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain adequate 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 solve itself, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as costly equipment can be harmed or stop working altogether.
