Low Water Pressure in your Marcy Home?

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

We’re used to having water at the ready. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes forth. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is serious and instantaneous. Reduced water pressure in the house? 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 Marcy house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – very likely you need a new well pump. This pump, often called a water pump, drives water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps typically work for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their health often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time 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 Marcy. Their skilled professionals will diagnose your situation, and have your water up and 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. Diagnosing power connections is always the first step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

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

So will running water for hours on end, 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.

Low water pressure in a Marcy house is a different situation, 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 might be a clogged iron filter – again, for Marcy homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain enough pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s health.

Frankly, reduced water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as pricey machinery can be damaged or quit working altogether.
