Low Water Pressure in your Sunset Beach Home?

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

We’re used to having water always available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours forth. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just always there.

So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is profound and instantaneous. Diminished water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Sunset Beach home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood 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 waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps usually last 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their longevity often connects 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 Sunset Beach. Their skilled professionals will diagnose your situation, and have your water up and 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. Checking power connections is always the initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for many reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Sunset Beach house is a different condition, 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 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 means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain required pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as expensive infrastructure can be harmed or quit working altogether.
