Low Water Pressure in your Beaver Dam Home?

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

We’re used to having water at our fingertips. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes forth. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just consistently there.

So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is profound and instantaneous. Reduced water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to worry.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Beaver Dam house – 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, 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 lifespan can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their well-being often connects 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 Beaver Dam. Their knowledgeable team will analyze your situation, and have your water running again within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the reason behind no water in the house. Occasionally an underground electrical wire breaks – a very fixable issue. Diagnosing power connections is always the initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

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

So will running water for hours in a row, such as filling a pool or watering grass. These pursuits 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 Beaver Dam house is a different condition, 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 might be a clogged iron filter – again, for Beaver Dam 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 required pressure, forcing the pump to consistently 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 solve itself, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as costly equipment can be damaged or break down entirely.
