Low Water Pressure in your Hubbleton Home?

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

We’re used to having water instantly available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills forth. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just reliably there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is significant and urgent. Reduced water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

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

Well pumps typically 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 connects 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 Hubbleton. Their knowledgeable team will diagnose your situation, and have your water running again within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the reason behind no water in the house. Sometimes an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable 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 stop operating 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.

Low water pressure in a Hubbleton home is a different scenario, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself in toilets filling slowly, or weak water flows from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

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

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Low 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 health.

Frankly, reduced water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as pricey machinery can be damaged or stop working altogether.
