Low Water Pressure in your Greenfield 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 spills out. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just unfailingly there.

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is serious and immediate. Reduced 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 Greenfield home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you require a new well pump. This pump, sometimes 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 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 longevity often ties in with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously is not uncommon.

What is the reason for no water pressure in the house? The first step is to call Kelly James Service, the well pump and water solutions provider in Greenfield. Their knowledgeable professionals will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water up and running within hours.

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

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

Low water pressure in a Greenfield house is a different situation, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up 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 plugged iron filter – again, for Greenfield homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to consistently 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 issue only makes it worse, as pricey machinery can be damaged or stop working altogether.
