System
Pump, tank and treatment.
Problems
Pressure, quality and freezing.
How it works
Either a submersible pump down the casing or a jet pump on the basement floor pushes water into a pressure tank. A switch on the line starts the pump around forty pounds and stops it near sixty, give or take the setting. From the tank, water goes through any treatment and into the house.

Talk it through with a plumber
One call to (365) 364-2776 reaches someone who can tell you what the job involves and when a van can be at the door.
Common problems
A tank full of water and no air makes the pump chatter on and off. A failing switch can leave you with no water.
- Sediment clogs filters and aerators.
- Lines can freeze where they enter the house.
Testing your water
Get the well sampled for bacteria a few times a year. Ontario public health labs have tested private well samples at no charge; confirm how that works today before you go.
Our role
We handle pressure tanks, switches, treatment and the plumbing inside. Well drilling and pump pulling from deep wells are specialist work.
Asked on the phone line
Who tests water?
Public health labs have offered tests.
How a call to us runs
- You ring (365) 364-2776 and a person picks up, not a menu.
- We ask where the water is, what you have already shut off and what decade the building went up in.
- We say when the van should pull up and what to do until it does.
- On site we show you the fault, give a firm price before starting and clean up after.
