Low Water Pressure in your Victory Center Home?

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

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

So when something interrupts this stability, the shock is undeniable and urgent. Diminished water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Victory Center house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of 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 on average operate for 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped 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 Victory Center. Their experienced team will diagnose your situation, and have your water up and running within hours.

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

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for myriad reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten 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.

Minimal water pressure in a Victory Center home is a different problem, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself in toilets filling slowly, or weak water output from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem might be a clogged iron filter – again, for Victory Center homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain required pressure, forcing the pump to constantly 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 solve itself, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as pricey equipment can be harmed or break down entirely.
