Many Berwick homeowners ask about PFAS because of news from neighboring communities. The answer is a lab test, then a decision based on the numbers: carbon, ion exchange or a point-of-use system, depending on what the report shows.
PFAS Water Filtration for Berwick homes
Hard water and iron staining are common conversation starters, and some older wells also show a faint sulfur odor. York and Wells lie to the east and South Berwick to the south, with Rochester, New Hampshire, a short drive north, so service calls cross state lines often.
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
In inland York County, PFAS awareness has grown as more private wells have been sampled. Contamination can follow a particular source or turn up with no clear one, which is why every well near the Salmon Falls River side of town is best judged by its own lab result.
What to test first in Berwick
- A repeat sample if the first result is borderline
- pH and hardness, which affect how media behaves
- A sediment check, so a prefilter can protect the media
How it works
How we handle PFAS water filtration, step by step
- 1
Collect a PFAS sample
We collect from an untreated tap, keep the bottles clean and ship to a laboratory that can report PFAS at low levels. The result tells us which compounds and how much.
- 2
Pick the media
Your lab report tells us the compounds present. Some are removed well by carbon; others do better on resin. We recommend the bed that suits your water and your budget in York County.
- 3
Install and sample
Installation in a Berwick basement is neat and serviceable, with shut-offs, a bypass and labeled valves. After startup, we check pressure and flow before leaving.
- 4
Retest and replace media
Retesting is the heart of PFAS treatment. We schedule a check after startup and regular samples after that, because performance is only known when it is measured.
What shapes the job in Berwick
Contact time is critical. A bed that is too small lets contaminants through, so tanks are sized for your peak flow and for enough time in the media. We design for the demand in your house, not a generic number.
When to think about PFAS
- A well that has never been tested for PFAS
- A buyer or lender asking for a PFAS result
- A test showing PFAS above a state guideline
- A treatment system that was never verified
If a PFAS result has you looking for options in Berwick, call or send a request. We will read the report with you and explain what makes sense. We also work in Rochester and Shapleigh.
