Low Water Pressure in your Sunset Beach House?

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

We’re used to having water at the ready. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours forth. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just reliably there.

So when something disrupts this stability, the shock is profound and immediate. Diminished 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 Sunset Beach house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – very likely you require a new well pump. This pump, occasionally 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 on average last 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated 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 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 Sunset Beach. Their knowledgeable team will analyze your situation, and have your water running again within hours.

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

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for various reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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.

Minimal water pressure in a Sunset Beach house is a different situation, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up 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 Sunset Beach 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 sustain sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to consistently 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 an issue that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as pricey mechanicals can be damaged or quit working altogether.
