Hey all, I apologize if this is a redundant topic but I did not see anything that was completely related in other posts.
Anyway, I was using the kitchen sink earlier tonight and heard what sounded like a thud in the basement where the pressure tank and hot water heater are located. Water pressure immediately dropped and eventually reduced to a trickle. There is a frost-free faucet aprox 200ft from house which was also inop (I'm assuming this runs through the house first?). This is my parent's house that I have spent a few nights at while they are out of town so my knowledge of the plumbing is not 100% but hopefully sufficient. I do know that the well pump was replaced about 3 years ago but was a very difficult process due to cave-ins from the sandy soil and they had a sediment issue in their water which seemed to dissipate over time. I know that this is a very vague description so any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Adam
Also,
house about 35 years old, well several hundred feet deep, water pressure never great but comparable with neighbors, just added baby wipes to my grocery list
