Low Water Pressure in your Greenfield Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water at our fingertips. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours out. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just consistently there.

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

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 need a new well pump. This pump, frequently called a water pump, moves water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps typically last 15 to 20 years. Their duration 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 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 team will diagnose your scenario, and have your water up and running 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 it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop operating for numerous reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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 goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

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

The problem could be a clogged iron filter – again, for Greenfield 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 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 an issue that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as costly machinery can be harmed or quit working altogether.
