Low Water Pressure in your Granville House?

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

We’re acclimated to having water readily available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes out. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just reliably there.

 

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is significant and instantaneous. Minimal water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

 

Maybe yes … or no.

 

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

 

Well pumps on average operate for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their health 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 Granville. Their experienced professionals will diagnose your scenario, and have your water restored within hours.

 

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

 

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for myriad reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten pump life.

 

So will running water for hours on end, 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.

 

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

 

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

 

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain adequate 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 a problem that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as expensive infrastructure can be damaged or stop working altogether.

 

The proactive measure – whether you have minimal water pressure in a house, or none at all – is to call Kelly James Service.
