Low Water Pressure in your Camp Whitcomb Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water instantly available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes out. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just reliably there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is profound and instantaneous. Reduced water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Camp Whitcomb house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you need a new well pump. This pump, sometimes 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 usually 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 at the same time 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 Camp Whitcomb. Their skilled team will diagnose your scenario, and have your water up and running within hours.

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

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

So will running water for hours at a time, such as filling a pool or watering grass. These activities can lower the underground water table which, if it plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Camp Whitcomb home is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears 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 Camp Whitcomb 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 sustain adequate 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 solve itself, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as expensive mechanicals can be harmed or break down entirely.
