Low Water Pressure in your New Berlin 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 comes forth. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just consistently there.

 

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is unmistakable and immediate. 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 New Berlin house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you require a new well pump. This pump, frequently 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 typically operate for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their longevity often connects with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously is not uncommon.

 

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 New Berlin. Their experienced 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. Sometimes an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Diagnosing power connections is always the first step taken by Kelly James Service.

 

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for different 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 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 New Berlin home is a different problem, 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 could be a plugged iron filter – again, for New Berlin homes with high iron content in water.

 

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain enough pressure, forcing the pump to constantly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

 

Frankly, low 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 expensive equipment can be damaged or break down entirely.
