Low Water Pressure in your Big Bend House?

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

We’re used to having water readily available. Just start the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it pours out. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just always there.

So when something interrupts this reliability, the shock is unmistakable and immediate. Decreased water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the house? Yikes. Time to freak out.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Big Bend house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you need 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 typically last 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, based 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 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 Big Bend. Their skilled team will diagnose your situation, and have your water restored 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 initial step taken by Kelly James Service.

If the problem is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps wear out for various reasons. Age is unavoidable. 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 pursuits 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 Big Bend house is a different situation, albeit usually less serious. This condition appears 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 plugged iron filter – again, for Big Bend homes with high iron content in water.

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

Frankly, reduced water pressure in a home is a headache. It’s an issue that doesn’t just disappear, either. Ignoring the problem only makes it worse, as costly equipment can be harmed or stop working altogether.
