Low Water Pressure in your Juneau Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water always available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes forth. The mechanical part barely registers. The water’s just reliably there.

 

So when something interrupts this stability, the shock is undeniable and immediate. Decreased 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 Juneau house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming out of any faucet or spigot – probably you require a new well pump. This pump, regularly called a water pump, moves water from the ground into your water system’s pressure tank. It waits for use in a sink, shower or toilet.

 

Well pumps usually operate for 15 to 20 years. Their duration can be shorter or longer, based 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 at the same time 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 Juneau. Their knowledgeable team will diagnose your scenario, and have your water back running within hours.

 

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

 

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop working for various 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

 

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

 

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

 

Otherwise, the problem usually links to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain enough pressure, forcing the pump to relentlessly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s well-being.

 

Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just solve itself, either. Ignoring the situation only makes it worse, as costly mechanicals can be damaged or quit working altogether.
