Homes on private wells in York County sometimes learn about arsenic only after a real estate test or a neighbor's result. For a Berwick household that wants it gone, we confirm the number and the type, choose the media and install a system that is retested regularly.
Arsenic Removal Systems for Berwick homes
Berwick sits on the New Hampshire line along the Salmon Falls River, with a historic village center and farmland and woods beyond it. Being right on the state line means Berwick owners often have friends and family with wells in New Hampshire, and standards and habits differ.
Older homes and farmhouses may have pumps and pressure tanks that were set up generations ago, and wear shows up as pressure swings. A buyer should look at the age of the pump and tank, the depth of the well and the last bacteria and arsenic results.
What we see in York County wells
Inland York County sits on granite and metamorphic bedrock that can release arsenic into groundwater. Two houses on the same road near the Salmon Falls River side of town can read differently because arsenic lives in specific fractures, so every drilled well in Berwick should have its own result.
What to test first in Berwick
- Total arsenic by a certified laboratory method
- Uranium and radon, the other common bedrock concerns
- A repeat test after any pump replacement or well work
How it works
How we handle arsenic removal systems, step by step
- 1
Confirm and identify
A reliable arsenic number comes from a sample collected cleanly and analyzed by a laboratory. For a Berwick well with a positive result, we add the details that guide the design.
- 2
Choose the method
Common approaches include adsorptive media tanks and, for drinking water only, reverse osmosis. We explain what each does and which fits a whole-house or a single-tap need in Berwick.
- 3
Install the system
Equipment is installed on the main line after the pressure tank, with sample taps before and after so results can be checked. Shut-offs and a bypass keep the home running during service.
- 4
Retest and maintain
Verification is the point of the whole exercise. We retest after installation, then at intervals, and replace media before it is exhausted instead of waiting for a bad result.
What shapes the job in Berwick
Treatment does not end at installation. A retest after startup and another at intervals confirms that the system is still working. For wells near the Salmon Falls River side of town, we also like to test again after any pump work or major water event.
When to think about arsenic
- A drilled bedrock well that has never been tested
- A rise in a previously low result
- A home with an old, never-treated bedrock well
- An annual retest that is overdue
If an arsenic result has you worried in Berwick, call us or send a request. We will review the report and talk through options. We also work in Wells and Shapleigh.
