Arsenic occurs naturally in some bedrock, and a drilled well in Freeport may reach it without any sign at the tap. If a test finds arsenic above the drinking-water guideline, a removal system installed at the point of entry keeps it out of every glass.
Arsenic Removal Systems for Freeport homes
Coastal ground near the bay can bring salt influence into wells, particularly on lots close to the water. Bedrock wells inland carry the usual southern Maine questions about arsenic, uranium, radon and dissolved iron and manganese.
Houses on small peninsula lots often have shallow soils over ledge, which limits where a well can go and how it is protected. Brunswick, Pownal, Yarmouth and Gray surround the town, so service calls are easy to route up and down the coast.
What we see in Cumberland County wells
Drilled wells along the coast pass through folded, fractured rock, and arsenic can turn up in any one of them. Near Freeport's village center and Casco Bay shoreline, shallow sand wells are less likely to carry it, but a deep well in Freeport deserves a lab test before you assume the water is clean.
What to test first in Freeport
- Total arsenic by a certified laboratory method
- Bacteria and nitrate, a baseline for any private well
- A retest after treatment starts, from a tap past the system
How it works
How we handle arsenic removal systems, step by step
- 1
Confirm and identify
No treatment is chosen until we know how much arsenic there is and what form it takes. Iron, pH and other minerals in the same sample are part of that decision.
- 2
Choose the method
We match the media, tank size and flow rate to your household. If only drinking and cooking water needs to be treated, a point-of-use system may be the simpler answer.
- 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 Freeport
Media has a limited life and is replaced on a schedule that depends on the arsenic level and how much water your household uses. We talk through that cost and routine before installation so there are no surprises in Freeport.
When to think about arsenic
- A neighbor's well that tested above the guideline
- A well that has been deepened or re-drilled
- Young children or a pregnant household member in the house
- A new treatment system that has not been verified
