Low Water Pressure in your Monches Home?

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

We’re acclimated to having water always available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it spills forth. The mechanical magic barely evokes thought. The water’s just reliably there.

So when something interrupts this continuity, the shock is unmistakable and instantaneous. Reduced water pressure in the house? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.

Maybe yes … or no.

If you have no water pressure in your Monches home – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – in all likelihood you need a new well pump. This pump, regularly 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 pumped and how they’re used. Their health often ties in 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 Monches. Their skilled team will analyze your situation, and have your water back running within hours.

A well pump isn’t always the reason behind no water in the house. Every now and then an underground electrical wire breaks – a very repairable issue. Testing power connections is always the first step taken by Kelly James Service.

If it is a well pump, though … then why? These pumps stop operating for various reasons. Age is inevitable. Water with high iron content will significantly shorten 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 plummets too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.

Reduced water pressure in a Monches house is a different issue, albeit usually less serious. This condition manifests itself in toilets filling slowly, or weak water output from faucets or showers. Sometimes water spits out irregularly, indicating air in the line.

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

Otherwise, the problem usually ties to the pressure tank. Low or fluctuating water pressure indicates the well pump is short-cycling. The tank can’t sustain sufficient pressure, forcing the pump to constantly turn on and off. Obviously, this takes a toll on the pump’s health.

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