Living in Eastern Massachusetts comes with a lot of perks—charming towns, coastal living, and beautiful wooded neighborhoods. But if your home relies on a private well, it also means you’re responsible for making sure your water is safe to drink, cook with, and bathe in.
We help homeowners across Essex and Middlesex Counties identify and fix common water quality issues, from PFAS to high iron levels and more. We’ve seen a wide range of water quality concerns across Eastern Massachusetts.
PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), also known as “forever chemicals,” have made headlines across Massachusetts—and for good reason. These chemicals have been linked to health concerns and can easily get into groundwater.
They’ve been detected in towns throughout: Essex County and Middlesex County Areas near Hanscom AFB, Fort Devens, and former industrial sites If you’ve never had your water tested for PFAS, now’s the time.
Rust-colored stains in your sinks, tubs, and laundry? Strange metallic taste? That’s often caused by iron or manganese in your water.
These naturally occurring minerals are common in private wells across: Boxford, Topsfield, Acton, Carlisle, Littleton, And many surrounding areas.
Eastern MA winters can be brutal—and all that road salt has to go somewhere. In some low-lying or coastal towns, runoff can lead to higher levels of sodium and chloride in your well water, which can damage plumbing and pose health concerns for those on low-sodium diets.
Watch for this in areas near: Route 128/95 corridor, Coastal Essex County, Marshy or low-lying neighborhoods.
