We’re acclimated to having water at the ready. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills out. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just unfailingly there.
So when something disrupts this reliability, the shock is serious and instantaneous. Low water pressure in the home? Worse yet, unexpectedly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to worry.
Maybe yes … or no.
If you have no water pressure in your Nasbro home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – probably you require a new well pump. This pump, occasionally 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 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 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 Nasbro. Their experienced team will troubleshoot your situation, and have your water running again within hours.
A well pump isn’t always the source of no water in the house. Occasionally an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Diagnosing power connections is always the first step undertaken by Kelly James Service.
If the issue is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps quit working for different 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 activities can lower the underground water table which, if it drops too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.
Low water pressure in a Nasbro house is a different issue, 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 might be a clogged iron filter – again, for Nasbro homes with high iron content in water.
Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Reduced or fluctuating water pressure means the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t maintain adequate pressure, forcing the pump to consistently turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s health.
Frankly, minimal water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s a problem that doesn’t just go away, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as pricey mechanicals can be harmed or quit working altogether.
