Homes on private wells in York County sometimes learn about arsenic only after a real estate test or a neighbor's result. For a Wells 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 Wells homes
Wells near the marsh or shore can show changes in sodium and chloride, and iron is a common companion in this kind of ground. Kennebunk and York flank the town and Berwick and Sanford are inland, so Wells connects coastal and country water situations.
Summer cottages and rentals see big swings in demand, and pumps and pressure tanks sized for quiet seasons can struggle. A buyer looking at a seasonal Wells home should ask how it is winterized and when the well was last sampled.
What we see in York County wells
Drilled wells along the coast pass through folded, fractured rock, and arsenic can turn up in any one of them. Near Wells beaches, marsh and inland roads, shallow sand wells are less likely to carry it, but a deep well in Wells deserves a lab test before you assume the water is clean.
What to test first in Wells
- Arsenic speciation, if the first result is above the guideline
- Uranium and radon, the other common bedrock concerns
- PFAS, since you are already sampling and it is worth knowing
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 Wells well with a positive result, we add the details that guide the design.
- 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 Wells
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 Wells.
When to think about arsenic
- A recent purchase with no arsenic result on file
- A lab report showing arsenic over 10 parts per billion
- A seller who cannot share a recent test
- A new treatment system that has not been verified
