Low Water Pressure in your Alderley 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 dependably there.

 

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is serious and urgent. Minimal water pressure in the house? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to panic.

 

Maybe yes … or no.

 

If you have no water pressure in your Alderley house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – chances are you need a new well pump. This pump, regularly 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 usually last 15 to 20 years. Their lives can be shorter or longer, depending on the water being circulated and how they’re used. Their health often is linked 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 Alderley. Their skilled professionals will analyze 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 repairable issue. Testing power connections is always the first step taken by Kelly James Service.

 

If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps break down for various 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 pursuits can lower the underground water table which, if it plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

 

Minimal water pressure in a Alderley house is a different condition, albeit usually less serious. This condition shows up in toilets filling slowly, or weak water flows from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

 

The problem might be a clogged iron filter – again, for Alderley homes with high iron content in water.

 

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Minimal or fluctuating water pressure indicates 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 an issue that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as pricey machinery can be harmed or quit working altogether.

 

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