Low Water Pressure in your Greenfield House?

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

We’re used to having water instantly available. Just turn on 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 serious and immediate. Reduced water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Greenfield house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – very likely you require a new well pump. This pump, regularly called a water pump, pushes 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 lifespan can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being often connects with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time is not uncommon.

What is the reason for no water pressure in the house? The first step is to call Kelly James Service, the well pump and water solutions provider in Greenfield. Their knowledgeable professionals will analyze your situation, and have your water running again within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the reason behind no water in the house. Periodically an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Checking power connections is always the first step taken by Kelly James Service.

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for myriad reasons. Age is unavoidable. 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 pursuits can lower the underground water table which, if it drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Greenfield house is a different scenario, 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 could be a plugged iron filter – again, for Greenfield 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 adequate pressure, forcing the pump to consistently 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 disappear, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as expensive infrastructure can be harmed or quit working altogether.
