At PHD Plumbing, Heating, and Drain, we specialize in providing emergency well services to restore your water supply and upgrade your system to meet Ontario code requirements.

Common Reasons for No Water from Your Well
When your well system stops working, the underlying issue could range from minor repairs to significant upgrades. Here are the most common causes of no water from a well:
1. Faulty Well Pump
A broken or failing well pump can stop water from being drawn into your home, leaving you without access to water.
2. Pressure Tank Issues
Your pressure tank may be damaged or malfunctioning, disrupting the flow of water.
3. Electrical Failures
Tripped breakers, faulty wiring, or a damaged pump motor can cause your system to shut down.
4. Low Water Levels
Extended periods of drought or overuse can lead to a temporary loss of water in your well.
5. Outdated or Non-Compliant Well Systems
Older systems often fail to meet current Ontario Building Code standards, leading to inefficiencies or potential water contamination.
Upgrading Your Well System to Ontario Code
Having a well system that complies with Ontario’s regulations is essential for ensuring water safety, reliability, and long-term efficiency. If your well system is outdated, upgrading it to meet current standards offers several benefits:
