Low Water Pressure in your Nabob House?

No Water? Might Require 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 forth. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just reliably there.

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

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Nabob house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you require 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 work for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their well-being often ties in with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously 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 Nabob. Their experienced team will troubleshoot your scenario, and have your water restored within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the reason behind no water in the house. Sometimes an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable 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 different reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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 drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Low water pressure in a Nabob home is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears in toilets filling slowly, or weak water output from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem could be a clogged iron filter – again, for Nabob homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain enough pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly 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 go away, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as pricey mechanicals can be damaged or break down entirely.
