Low Water Pressure in your Lake Five Home?

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

We’re used to having water readily available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes forth. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just reliably there.

So when something interrupts this stability, the shock is undeniable and urgent. Decreased water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? 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 – very likely you need a new well pump. This pump, occasionally called a water pump, drives water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps usually 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 health often connects with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time 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 Lake Five. Their knowledgeable professionals will diagnose your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop operating for many reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Low water pressure in a Lake Five house is a different condition, 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 Lake Five 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 adequate pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

Frankly, low 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 mechanicals can be harmed or break down entirely.
