Low Water Pressure in your Oak Grove House?

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

We’re acclimated to having water at the ready. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes forth. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something disrupts this stability, the shock is profound and immediate. Low water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Oak Grove home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – very likely you need a new well pump. This pump, regularly called a water pump, pushes water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps on average last 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated 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 Oak Grove. Their experienced professionals will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water running again within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the culprit of no water in the house. Sometimes an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Testing power connections is always the initial step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

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

So will running water for hours in a row, 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 Oak Grove house is a different issue, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself in toilets filling slowly, or weak water volume from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem might be a clogged iron filter – again, for Oak Grove homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Low 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 health.

Frankly, low 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 pricey machinery can be harmed or break down entirely.
