Low Water Pressure in your Ebenezer Home?

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

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

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is significant and instantaneous. 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 Ebenezer house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – very likely you need a new well pump. This pump, frequently 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 lifespan can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their longevity often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously is a regular occurrence.

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 Ebenezer. Their skilled team will analyze your scenario, and have your water back running 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. Checking power connections is always the initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for numerous reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce pump life.

So will running water for hours on end, 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 Ebenezer home is a different issue, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Ebenezer 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 required pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly 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 solve itself, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as expensive mechanicals can be harmed or stop working altogether.
