We’re used to having water readily available. Just turn on the faucet, or shower, or hose, and it comes out. The mechanical magic barely registers. The water’s just consistently there.
So when something interrupts this stability, the shock is profound and instantaneous. Reduced water pressure in the home? Worse yet, suddenly no water in the home? Yikes. Time to panic.
Maybe yes … or no.
If you have no water pressure in your Vernon house – kaput, out, dry, nothing coming from any faucet or spigot – probably you need 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 on average work for 15 to 20 years. Their lifespan can be shorter or longer, based on the water being pumped and how they’re used. Their longevity often connects with condition of the pressure tank, as well – replacement of both at the same time is a regular occurrence.
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 Vernon. Their experienced team will analyze your situation, and have your water up and running within hours.
A well pump isn’t always the culprit of 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 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 lessen 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 goes down too far, can cause the water-cooled pump to overheat.
Reduced water pressure in a Vernon house is a different problem, 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 could be a plugged iron filter – again, for Vernon 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 sustain required pressure, forcing the pump to constantly 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 an issue that doesn’t just solve itself, either. Ignoring the issue only makes it worse, as expensive infrastructure can be harmed or quit working altogether.
