Low Water Pressure in your Grellton Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water at the ready. 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 disrupts this continuity, the shock is significant and immediate. Diminished water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Grellton house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – probably you require a new well pump. This pump, occasionally called a water pump, drives water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps typically work for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their longevity often ties in with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time 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 Grellton. Their knowledgeable team will analyze your situation, and have your water restored 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. Diagnosing power connections is always the initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

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

So will running water for hours at a time, 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.

Reduced water pressure in a Grellton house is a different situation, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears in toilets filling slowly, or weak water output from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

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

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to consistently 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 a problem that doesn’t just fix itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as expensive mechanicals can be damaged or break down entirely.
