Well Water Testing & Treatment in Augusta, ME
Test for arsenic, bacteria, iron, and hardness — then treat what your well actually has.
Water Testing for Augusta Homes
Maine has some of the highest naturally occurring arsenic in well water in the country, and private wells are not tested by anyone unless the owner does it. If your water has never been tested — or you have iron staining, rotten-egg odor, or hard-water scale — testing tells you exactly what you are drinking and what to treat. We sample for arsenic, bacteria (coliform/E. coli), nitrates, uranium, radon-in-water, iron, manganese, and hardness, then recommend treatment sized to your results: arsenic and uranium reduction, neutralizers for acidic water, iron/manganese filtration, softeners, and UV disinfection.
Local well service in Augusta
Augusta sits on both banks of the Kennebec, and the homes around it run the full range of Maine well systems — older dug wells on the west side, deep drilled bedrock wells out toward North Augusta and the rural stretches off Route 3 and Route 17. The granite under the capital region is exactly the kind that puts arsenic and uranium into well water, so testing matters here as much as the mechanical repairs. We handle the whole spread: pumps that quit, pressure tanks that short-cycle, acidic water eating copper pipe, and the iron staining that shows up on so many central-Kennebec wells. Winters off the river valley get cold enough to freeze shallow lines in unheated basements, and we keep that work moving through the worst of it. Whether you are in a downtown neighborhood near the State House or on a back lot with a 500-foot drilled well, we diagnose the actual fault before quoting and fix it so it holds.

Common Well Problems in Augusta
The issues we see most on local wells — and how we fix them.
Arsenic and uranium in bedrock wells
The granite around the Kennebec valley commonly leaches arsenic and uranium into drilled wells. You cannot taste or see it — testing is the only way to know, and many capital-area wells have never been checked.
Acidic water corroding copper pipe
Low-pH water is widespread here and shows up as blue-green staining and pinhole leaks in copper. An acid neutralizer protects the plumbing, pump, and fixtures from being eaten away.
Winter freeze-ups in river-valley basements
Cold air settling in the Kennebec valley freezes shallow lines and exposed pipe in unheated basements and crawlspaces. We thaw the freeze and fix the weak spot so it does not repeat.
