Low Water Pressure in your Lannon Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water always available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes out. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is serious and instantaneous. Reduced water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly 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 out of any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you require a new well pump. This pump, often called a water pump, pushes 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 lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped 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 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 Lannon. Their knowledgeable team will analyze your situation, and have your water running again within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the reason behind no water in the house. Every now and then an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Testing power connections is always the initial step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

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

So will running water for hours on end, such as filling a pool or watering grass. These activities can lower the underground water table which, if it drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Lannon home is a different problem, 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 Lannon homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain enough pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly 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 solve itself, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as pricey machinery can be harmed or quit working altogether.
