Low Water Pressure in your Jackson House?

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

We’re used to having water readily available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes forth. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just dependably there.

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is undeniable and instantaneous. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

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

Well pumps typically operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their health often ties in 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 Jackson. Their knowledgeable team will analyze your scenario, and have your water back 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 repairable issue. Testing power connections is always the first step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Jackson home is a different condition, 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Jackson homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Minimal 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 well-being.

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just solve itself, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as costly machinery can be harmed or stop working altogether.
