You cannot see, smell or taste arsenic, which is why testing matters so much for Limington wells. When the result comes back over 10 parts per billion, we design a treatment system around the form of arsenic in your water and the way you use it.
Arsenic Removal Systems for Limington homes
Farmland and old barns nearby mean it is worth checking nitrate and bacteria, especially in shallow or older wells. Saco, Standish, Hollis and Cornish are all within easy reach, so service calls in Limington fit into wider routes through the county.
Long driveways mean long water lines, and a pump that sits far from the house has to work harder to keep pressure steady. A buyer should ask for the drilling record where one exists, the age of the pump and tank and the last water test.
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 Limington back roads can read differently because arsenic lives in specific fractures, so every drilled well in Limington should have its own result.
What to test first in Limington
- Iron and manganese, since they affect which arsenic treatment works
- pH, because it changes how well some media perform
- 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
We begin with a lab result for total arsenic, and where it is high we ask for speciation as well. The number and the form together determine which treatment can handle your water.
- 2
Choose the method
The design may be a media tank alone or one preceded by a filter that handles iron or sediment. The choice rests on your water chemistry and on how much water the house uses.
- 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
A treated water sample goes to the lab after startup to confirm the arsenic is below the guideline. We then set a retest and media replacement schedule that matches your usage.
What shapes the job in Limington
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 Limington.
When to think about arsenic
- A recent purchase with no arsenic result on file
- A rise in a previously low result
- Young children or a pregnant household member in the house
- A new treatment system that has not been verified
If an arsenic result has you worried in Limington, call us or send a request. We will review the report and talk through options. We also work in Standish and Shapleigh.
