Low Water Pressure in your Nashotah Home?

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

We’re used to having water always available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills out. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just always there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is significant and immediate. Decreased water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Nashotah house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – very likely 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 usually 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 longevity 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 Nashotah. Their knowledgeable professionals will diagnose your scenario, and have your water up and running within hours.

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

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for myriad reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten pump life.

So will running water for hours in a row, 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.

Low water pressure in a Nashotah home is a different situation, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears in toilets filling slowly, or weak water volume from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem might be a plugged iron filter – again, for Nashotah 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 consistently 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 a problem that doesn’t just fix itself, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as costly infrastructure can be harmed or stop working altogether.
