Low Water Pressure in your Ebenezer House?

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

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

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

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Ebenezer home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you need a new well pump. This pump, regularly called a water pump, drives water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps typically operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their longevity often ties in with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously 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 Ebenezer. Their skilled team will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water restored within hours.

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

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

Low water pressure in a Ebenezer house is a different condition, 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 might be a plugged iron filter – again, for Ebenezer homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain adequate pressure, forcing the pump to consistently 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 issue only makes it worse, as costly infrastructure can be harmed or break down entirely.
