Low Water Pressure in your Hubbleton House?

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 out. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just unfailingly there.

So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is unmistakable and instantaneous. Reduced water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Hubbleton home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you need a new well pump. This pump, occasionally 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 usually last 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 Hubbleton. Their knowledgeable professionals will analyze your scenario, and have your water running again within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the culprit of no water in the house. Every now and then 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 break down for various reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce pump life.

So will running water for hours in a row, such as filling a pool or watering grass. These pursuits can lower the underground water table which, if it goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Hubbleton home is a different problem, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Hubbleton homes with high iron content in water.

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

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