Low Water Pressure in your Old Ashippun House?

No Water? Might Need 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 pours out. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just unfailingly there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is significant and immediate. Diminished water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Old Ashippun house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – probably you require a new well pump. This pump, sometimes 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 on average last 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 is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously is a regular occurrence.

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 Old Ashippun. Their experienced professionals will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water restored within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the source 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 problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for various reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen pump life.

So will running water for hours on end, 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 Old Ashippun house is a different problem, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up in toilets filling slowly, or weak water flows from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem might be a plugged iron filter – again, for Old Ashippun homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain adequate pressure, forcing the pump to constantly 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 fix itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as expensive equipment can be harmed or stop working altogether.
