Low Water Pressure in your Chenequa House?

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

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

So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is profound and urgent. Reduced water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Chenequa house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – chances are you need a new well pump. This pump, frequently 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 usually last 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 connects with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously is not uncommon.

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 Chenequa. Their experienced professionals will analyze your situation, and have your water up and running within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for myriad reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen pump life.

So will running water for hours at a time, such as filling a pool or watering grass. These pursuits can lower the underground water table which, if it goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Low water pressure in a Chenequa house is a different issue, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Chenequa homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain adequate pressure, forcing the pump to consistently 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 issue only makes it worse, as pricey equipment can be damaged or break down entirely.
