We’re used to having water readily available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills out. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just unfailingly there.
So when something interrupts this stability, the shock is significant and urgent. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to freak out.
Maybe yes … or no.
If you have no water pressure in your Nasbro home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – very likely you require a new well pump. This pump, often 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 typically last 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time 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 Nasbro. Their experienced professionals will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water back 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. 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 wear out for different reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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 goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.
Minimal water pressure in a Nasbro house is a different problem, 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Nasbro homes with high iron content in water.
Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to consistently 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 solve itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as costly mechanicals can be damaged or quit working altogether.
