Low Water Pressure in your Victory Center House?

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

We’re acclimated to having water at the ready. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours forth. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is significant and immediate. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Victory Center home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – very likely you require a new well pump. This pump, often called a water pump, pushes 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 lives can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time is a regular occurrence.

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 Victory Center. Their knowledgeable professionals will analyze your situation, and have your water restored within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the culprit of no water in the house. Occasionally an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Testing 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 many reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten 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 Victory Center home is a different issue, 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 Victory Center homes with high iron content in water.

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

Frankly, reduced 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 machinery can be damaged or stop working altogether.
