Low Water Pressure in your North Lake Home?

No Water? Might Require 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 pours forth. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just reliably there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is serious and instantaneous. Diminished water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your North Lake home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – probably you require a new well pump. This pump, frequently 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 on average last 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being 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 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 North Lake. Their experienced professionals will diagnose your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the culprit of no water in the house. Sometimes an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Diagnosing power connections is always the first step taken by Kelly James Service.

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for different 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Low water pressure in a North Lake house is a different scenario, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up in toilets filling slowly, or weak water volume from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem could be a plugged iron filter – again, for North Lake homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain required pressure, forcing the pump to constantly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s health.

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as expensive infrastructure can be damaged or quit working altogether.
