Low Water Pressure in your Jackson Home?

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 registers. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something interrupts this stability, the shock is significant and urgent. Minimal water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Jackson house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you need a new well pump. This pump, occasionally called a water pump, moves 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, 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 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 Jackson. Their experienced professionals will analyze your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

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

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for various reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce pump life.

So will running water for hours at a time, 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 Jackson house is a different scenario, 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 plugged iron filter – again, for Jackson 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 sufficient 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 disappear, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as costly mechanicals can be harmed or quit working altogether.
