Low Water Pressure in your Sylvan Mounds Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water at the ready. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours out. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just always there.

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is unmistakable and immediate. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Sylvan Mounds house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – probably you require a new well pump. This pump, regularly called a water pump, moves water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It awaits 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 circulated and how they’re used. Their health often connects 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 Sylvan Mounds. Their experienced team will diagnose your scenario, and have your water restored within hours.

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

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for different reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten 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 drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Sylvan Mounds house is a different condition, 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 Sylvan Mounds homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure means 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, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as pricey equipment can be harmed or stop working altogether.
