Low Water Pressure in your Mukwonago Home?

No Water? Might Need 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 comes out. The mechanical part barely evokes thought. The water’s just always there.

 

So when something disrupts this stability, the shock is undeniable and immediate. Diminished water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

 

Maybe yes … or no.

 

If you have no water pressure in your Mukwonago home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – chances are you need a new well pump. This pump, frequently called a water pump, drives water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

 

Well pumps typically last 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated 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 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 Mukwonago. Their knowledgeable team will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water up and running within hours.

 

A well pump isn’t always the culprit of no water in the house. Periodically 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 quit working for many reasons. Age is unavoidable. Water with high iron content will significantly lessen 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.

 

Low water pressure in a Mukwonago house is a different scenario, 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 could be a plugged iron filter – again, for Mukwonago 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 sustain sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s health.

 

Frankly, low water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as pricey equipment can be damaged or break down entirely.

 

The proactive decision – whether you have low water pressure in a house, or none at all – is to reach out to Kelly James Service.
