Whether your water smells funny, tastes off, or you’re just curious what’s in it, we’re here to make testing and treatment easy, clear, and reliable.
If you live in Southern Maine, your well water might be affected by naturally occurring minerals, salt intrusion, or even man-made contaminants like PFAS. The good news? You don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Here are some of the most frequent water quality concerns we see in coastal and inland communities throughout Southern Maine:
If you’re near the coast or the Great Bay, road salting and rising sea levels can lead to high levels of sodium and chloride in well water. This can cause corrosion in plumbing and potential health concerns for people on sodium restricted diets.
Commonly affected towns: Kittery, Cape Neddick, Wells (in some areas) York. If your water tastes salty or your appliances are wearing out faster than they should, it’s time to test.
PFAS are synthetic chemicals found in some firefighting foams and industrial runoff. They’ve been detected in Southern Maine and Seacoast NH communities — especially those near military bases, airports, and industrial sites.
If you live near the Pease Tradeport, Coakley Landfill, or have neighbors who’ve tested positive for PFAS, testing is highly recommended.
Rust-colored stains in sinks, tubs, or laundry? That’s often caused by iron in your water. While it’s not typically harmful to your health, it can damage plumbing and appliances, and make your water look and taste unpleasant.
Areas with known iron issues: Parts of Wells, South Berwick, Berwick, and Lebanon.
Whether you just moved in, are noticing water quality changes, or simply want peace of mind, regular well water testing is essential. A professional water test can uncover hidden contaminants and help you avoid expensive plumbing damage or health issues down the line.
