Low Water Pressure in your Cedar Lake House?

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

We’re used to having water always available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours out. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just always there.

 

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

 

Maybe yes … or no.

 

If you have no water pressure in your Cedar Lake home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you need a new well pump. This pump, occasionally called a water pump, moves water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

 

Well pumps usually operate for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their health often ties in 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 Cedar Lake. Their knowledgeable team will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water running again within hours.

 

A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Every now and then an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Testing power connections is always the initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

 

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for numerous reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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 Cedar Lake house is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up 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 Cedar Lake homes with high iron content in water.

 

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

 

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as expensive infrastructure can be harmed or stop working altogether.

 

The proactive decision – whether you have low water pressure in a house, or none at all – is to reach out to Kelly James Service.
