Low Water Pressure in your Cold Spring Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water at the ready. Just turn on 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 continuity, the shock is serious and immediate. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Cold Spring house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – probably you require a new well pump. This pump, occasionally called a water pump, moves water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps usually last 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their longevity 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 Cold Spring. 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. Occasionally an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Diagnosing power connections is always the first step taken by Kelly James Service.

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for myriad reasons. Age is unavoidable. 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 Cold Spring home is a different scenario, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Cold Spring 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 maintain sufficient 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 disappear, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as expensive mechanicals can be harmed or stop working altogether.
