Low Water Pressure in your Hartland Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water instantly available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills out. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just reliably there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is profound and instantaneous. Diminished water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Hartland house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you require a new well pump. This pump, frequently 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 on average operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their health often connects with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time 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 Hartland. Their knowledgeable professionals will diagnose your situation, and have your water restored within hours.

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

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for different 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 pursuits can lower the underground water table which, if it drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Hartland home is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up 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 Hartland 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 adequate pressure, forcing the pump to constantly 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 disappear, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as pricey equipment can be damaged or stop working altogether.
