Low Water Pressure in your Lannon Home?

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

We’re used to having water readily available. Just turn on 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 reliability, the shock is significant and immediate. Low 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 Lannon home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – chances are you need a new well pump. This pump, sometimes 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 on average operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their health often ties in 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 Lannon. Their knowledgeable team will analyze your situation, and have your water back running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Every now and then 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 break down for various reasons. Age is inevitable. 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 activities 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 Lannon house is a different issue, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself in toilets filling slowly, or weak water output from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem might be a plugged iron filter – again, for Lannon 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 sustain enough pressure, forcing the pump to constantly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just fix itself, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as pricey infrastructure can be damaged or break down entirely.
