Low Water Pressure in your Pewaukee West Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water at our fingertips. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills forth. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is significant and immediate. Reduced 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 Pewaukee West house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – very likely you require a new well pump. This pump, sometimes 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 operate 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 ties in 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 Pewaukee West. Their experienced team will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water restored 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. Diagnosing 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 numerous reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce 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 drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

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

The problem could be a plugged iron filter – again, for Pewaukee West 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 sustain enough pressure, forcing the pump to consistently 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 an issue that doesn’t just solve itself, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as costly machinery can be harmed or stop working altogether.
