Low Water Pressure in your Ebenezer Home?

No Water? Might Require 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 registers. The water’s just unfailingly there.

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

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Ebenezer house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood 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 awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps on average work for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated 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 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 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. Periodically an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Checking power connections is always the first step taken by Kelly James Service.

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for myriad reasons. Age is inevitable. 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Ebenezer home 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Ebenezer homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain adequate pressure, forcing the pump to constantly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

Frankly, low water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as pricey mechanicals can be damaged or quit working altogether.
