Low Water Pressure in your Farmersville Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water readily available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours forth. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just always there.

So when something disrupts this stability, the shock is undeniable and immediate. Decreased water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Farmersville home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – very likely you require a new well pump. This pump, occasionally called a water pump, drives water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps typically work for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their health 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 Farmersville. Their skilled team will analyze 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. Every now and then 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 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.

Minimal water pressure in a Farmersville home is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears in toilets filling slowly, or weak water volume from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem could be a plugged iron filter – again, for Farmersville homes with high iron content in water.

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

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 expensive equipment can be harmed or stop working altogether.
