Low Water Pressure in your Lebanon House?

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

We’re acclimated to having water always available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours forth. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is undeniable and immediate. Diminished water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Lebanon home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – probably 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 circulated and how they’re used. Their longevity often connects with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time is not uncommon.

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 Lebanon. Their knowledgeable professionals will analyze your scenario, and have your water restored within hours.

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

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for different reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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 Lebanon house is a different scenario, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears in toilets filling slowly, or weak water output from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem might be a clogged iron filter – again, for Lebanon homes with high iron content in water.

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

Frankly, low water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just solve itself, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as pricey mechanicals can be harmed or stop working altogether.
