Low Water Pressure in your Kroghville 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 part barely evokes thought. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is serious and urgent. 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 Kroghville house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – very likely you need a new well pump. This pump, frequently 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 on average last 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being often ties in with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time 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 Kroghville. Their knowledgeable team will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for various 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 activities can lower the underground water table which, if it goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Kroghville house is a different problem, 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 Kroghville 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 required pressure, forcing the pump to constantly 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 an issue that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as pricey infrastructure can be damaged or stop working altogether.
