What is the Importance of Water Well Testing?

In most cases, well water is safe. However, well water can become contaminated with substances that can impact human health. These substances don’t always have a color or taste, so the only way to know your water isn’t safe is to have it tested regularly. It is recommended that private wells be tested annually for bacteria and nitrates.

Bacteria contamination can result from:

• Wells that are not properly built
• Work being performed on the well
• Septic waste entering the water
• Animal waste in the groundwater

Bacteria in the well can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. We provide annual water testing for bacteria, such as E. coli and total coliform, to protect your family’s health. In addition, we can test your well water for nitrates, which can cause birth defects, thyroid disease, and an increased risk of certain types of cancer.

Chlorination for Water Wells

If your water shows the presence of bacteria or other contaminants, the test can be repeated to confirm the results. Once we know what is contaminating your water, we can work with you to find the best solution to the problem. Chlorinating the well can be an effective solution for bacteria and other contaminants in the well water.

It is recommended that you have a professional chlorinate your well for you to ensure that the job is done right and hazards related to the improper use of the chemicals are avoided. Our experienced technicians can safely and effectively chlorinate your well to make your water safe for your family. After the process is complete, we can test your water again for your peace of mind.
