Low Water Pressure in your North Lake Home?

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

We’re used to having water readily available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours out. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just always there.

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is unmistakable and instantaneous. Minimal water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your North Lake house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – probably 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 awaits use in a sink, shower or toilet.

Well pumps on average last 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their well-being often is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both simultaneously 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 North Lake. Their experienced team will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water up and running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Every now and then an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable 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 different 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 activities can lower the underground water table which, if it goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Low water pressure in a North Lake house is a different problem, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself in toilets filling slowly, or weak water flows from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

The problem could be a plugged iron filter – again, for North Lake 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 sustain enough 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 fix itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as pricey mechanicals can be damaged or stop working altogether.
