Well Water Testing & Treatment in Bath, ME
Test for arsenic, bacteria, iron, and hardness — then treat what your well actually has.
Water Testing for Bath 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 Bath
Bath, the City of Ships, packs tight neighborhoods along the Kennebec near Bath Iron Works and then opens to rural drilled-well properties out toward Phippsburg, Woolwich across the river, and the Georgetown road. The older South End and North End homes often run on aging well systems and shallow setups, while the outlying lots draw from deep bedrock wells into the same arsenic- and uranium-bearing granite found up the Kennebec valley. Acidic, low-pH water is common and shows up as green staining and pinhole leaks in copper, and iron staining is a frequent complaint. River-valley cold settles in hard here in winter, freezing shallow lines and exposed pipe in the older housing stock's cold basements. We handle the whole system — pumps, pressure tanks, switches, freeze-ups, and water treatment — and we diagnose before we quote, so the repair matches the actual fault rather than the easiest guess.

Common Well Problems in Bath
The issues we see most on local wells — and how we fix them.
Acidic water and pinhole copper leaks
Low-pH bedrock water is common around Bath and slowly eats copper plumbing — you see it as blue-green staining and surprise pinhole leaks. An acid neutralizer raises the pH and stops the corrosion.
Aging systems in the older South/North End homes
The dense older neighborhoods near the river have plenty of well systems well past their service life — tired pumps, waterlogged tanks, and corroded fittings. We repair or replace the worn parts and bring the system back to steady pressure.
Winter freeze-ups in cold riverfront basements
River-valley cold and unheated basements freeze shallow lines in the coldest stretches. We locate and thaw the freeze, then insulate or heat-tape the weak spot.
