Orange stains, a rotten-egg smell, scale or cloudy water? We test your well water first, then recommend treatment matched to what's actually in it.
Available in: Norfolk, Winchester & Wilmington
Well water is different in every home. Testing tells you what you're dealing with.
Well water testing checks for the common problems we see in private wells: hardness, iron and manganese, sulfur smells, sediment, pH and cloudiness. Some issues you can see or smell; others you can't, which is why we test before recommending anything.
Then your technician explains the options in plain English, from a water softener or filtration to UV treatment, and gives you a written price. In Norfolk and Wilmington, Blue Duck Club members get a free annual water-quality test.

Testing, smells and treatment.
Usually sulfur in the water reacting with the water heater's anode rod. Testing confirms it. The fix can be filtration, or changing the anode rod in the water heater.
Many homeowners test once a year, and whenever the water changes in taste, smell or color, after flooding, or after work on the well.
It depends entirely on what's in it. Hard water needs a softener, iron and sediment need filtration, and some homes add UV. That's why we test first.
