Suddenly lost water in house while doing dishes
I just bought a home moved in 3 days ago last night after dinner tried to wash dishes then suddenly no water (cold or hot). Went out to well climb down in pit pumb running but gage only bouncing at 10psi, holding tank sounds empty but yet the velve there looks like you may put a hose there that had a lot of water pressure when I turned it. Any help

If you had plenty of water and pressure at the pump, you could have a broken water line to the house, plugged PRV, if you have one, most wells do not, a plugged water filter or water softener. Check for water at an outside tap.

More details please! This pressure tank, is it galvanized with a hose bib valve on the bottom? Or do you have a blue bladder tank? Where is the pressure gauge located? Does the pump ever shut off? When you shut the pump off at the breaker box. Does the pressure gauge drop back to zero? Any more information you can give me? Back to you, Tom

I work all day today on it now I've got bette water psi then before found out that there wasn't air in the bladder tack and I lost prime. Since the house wasn't being used as a homestead just a get away the well wasn't being used the way it should have been. Found this out by a well guy down the road that was over to hang out (the rebuilt the pump in 08 but we are going to put a new bladder tack in bigger one and redo the bearing s. thanks everyone.now I can injoy a shower .

Why has my kitchen faucet suddenly lost water pressure?
[ 8 Answers ]
I came home today, ready to get a glass of water, and the water pressure at my kitchen faucet is very low. I know it's not a water company problem because the water pressure in the shower and the bathrooms are just fine. I turned the valves under the sink on and off, and still the same, low,...
My brother's water suddenly stopped working in his house.

His outdoor spigot works, but none of the plumbing inside works. We dug up the water lines and found that the galvanized pipe going to the shut off valve was broken (before the valve). We decided to play it safe, so we replaced all of the water line going to the house. Before hooking the new line...
