Low Water Pressure in your Genesee Depot House?

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

We’re used 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 reliability, the shock is unmistakable and instantaneous. Diminished water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Genesee Depot house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – probably you require a new well pump. This pump, sometimes 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 operate for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their longevity often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously is not uncommon.

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 Genesee Depot. Their knowledgeable team will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water restored within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Sometimes an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Diagnosing 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 many reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce 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 goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Genesee Depot home is a different issue, 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 plugged iron filter – again, for Genesee Depot homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually connects to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain adequate pressure, forcing the pump to constantly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s health.

Frankly, reduced water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just fix itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as expensive infrastructure can be damaged or stop working altogether.
