Low Water Pressure in your Beaver Edge Home?

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

We’re used to having water at the ready. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills forth. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is undeniable and instantaneous. Decreased 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 Beaver Edge home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – very likely you need a new well pump. This pump, sometimes called a water pump, moves water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It awaits 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 well-being often ties in with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time 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 Beaver Edge. Their skilled team will diagnose your situation, and have your water back running within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for numerous 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 Beaver Edge house is a different problem, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Beaver Edge 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 required pressure, forcing the pump to consistently turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s health.

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as costly equipment can be damaged or quit working altogether.
