Low Water Pressure in your Young America House?

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

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

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

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Young America house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood 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 on average work for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped 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 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 Young America. Their experienced team will analyze your situation, and have your water running again within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Sometimes an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Testing power connections is always the initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for myriad reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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.

Reduced water pressure in a Young America house is a different problem, 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 could be a clogged iron filter – again, for Young America homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

Frankly, reduced water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just solve itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as pricey infrastructure can be harmed or break down entirely.
