Low Water Pressure in your Big Bend Home?

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

We’re used to having water at the ready. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes out. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just unfailingly there.

So when something interrupts this stability, the shock is significant and immediate. Minimal water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Big Bend home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – chances are 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 waits for 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 well-being often ties in 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 Big Bend. Their experienced professionals will analyze your situation, and have your water up and running within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop operating for many reasons. Age is inevitable. 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 pursuits can lower the underground water table which, if it drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Big Bend home is a different problem, 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 could be a plugged iron filter – again, for Big Bend homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain adequate pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly 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 a problem that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as costly infrastructure can be harmed or break down entirely.
