Low Water Pressure in your Lebanon Home?

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

We’re used to having water readily available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes out. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something disrupts this stability, the shock is significant and immediate. Reduced water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Lebanon home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – chances are you require a new well pump. This pump, sometimes 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 well-being often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously is not uncommon.

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 Lebanon. Their experienced professionals will analyze your scenario, and have your water up and running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the culprit of no water in the house. Every now and then an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Testing power connections is always the first step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for many reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

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

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

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

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