Low Water Pressure in your Hebron Home?

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

We’re used to having water readily available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours out. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is serious and instantaneous. Minimal water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

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

Well pumps on average operate for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their health often connects 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 Hebron. Their experienced professionals will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water restored within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the culprit of no water in the house. Periodically an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Testing 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 many reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce 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 drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Low water pressure in a Hebron house is a different issue, 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 might be a plugged iron filter – again, for Hebron 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 sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly 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 a problem that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as expensive machinery can be harmed or quit working altogether.
