Low Water Pressure in your Stonebank Home?

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

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

So when something disrupts this continuity, the shock is significant and immediate. Decreased water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Stonebank house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – chances are 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 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 is linked with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time 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 Stonebank. Their experienced team will diagnose your scenario, and have your water running again 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. Checking power connections is always the initial step undertaken by Kelly James Service.

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for different 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 goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Minimal water pressure in a Stonebank home is a different scenario, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up 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 Stonebank homes with high iron content in water.

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain adequate pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly 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 solve itself, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as costly mechanicals can be harmed or quit working altogether.
