Low Water Pressure in your Menomonee Falls Home?

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

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

So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is unmistakable and urgent. Reduced water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Menomonee Falls home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you require a new well pump. This pump, regularly called a water pump, pushes water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps usually last 15 to 20 years. Their duration 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 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 Menomonee Falls. Their experienced professionals will troubleshoot your scenario, 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. Diagnosing power connections is always the initial step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for myriad reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly reduce pump life.

So will running water for hours at a time, such as filling a pool or watering grass. These activities can lower the underground water table which, if it drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Menomonee Falls 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 clogged iron filter – again, for Menomonee Falls homes with high iron content in water.

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

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 expensive equipment can be harmed or break down entirely.
