Low Water Pressure in your Lake Five House?

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

We’re used to having water at the ready. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours out. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just unfailingly there.

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is profound and urgent. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Lake Five house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – chances are you require a new well pump. This pump, sometimes called a water pump, pushes water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps usually work for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their health often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously 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 Lake Five. Their skilled team will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water up and running within hours.

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

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop operating for myriad reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten 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.

Reduced water pressure in a Lake Five house is a different issue, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up in toilets filling slowly, or weak water output from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem could be a clogged iron filter – again, for Lake Five homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain adequate pressure, forcing the pump to constantly 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 go away, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as expensive mechanicals can be harmed or break down entirely.
