PFAS do not break down easily, and standard filters do not reliably remove them. For a Cumberland County well that tests positive, we use media selected for these compounds and retest to make sure it keeps working.
PFAS Water Filtration for Gorham homes
Sand and gravel deposits and bedrock both lie under town, so some wells are shallow and weather-sensitive and others are deep and rock-fed. Hardness, iron and manganese are common in wells here, and drilled wells deserve a look for arsenic, uranium and radon.
Growth has added newer subdivisions beside older farmhouses, and the pump and tank history is rarely the same in neighboring houses. Winter cold and spring melt tend to reveal weak spots in older pump houses and exposed lines.
What we see in Cumberland County wells
In inland Cumberland 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 Gorham's village and its farm roads is best judged by its own lab result.
What to test first in Gorham
- A repeat sample if the first result is borderline
- Arsenic, uranium and radon, the usual bedrock tests
- 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
A careful sample is the foundation. For a Gorham well, we take it before any treatment so we can see exactly what the well produces.
- 2
Pick the media
If only drinking water needs treatment, we also discuss a point-of-use reverse osmosis system. We compare it with a whole-house bed in plain terms so you can decide.
- 3
Install and sample
We mount the tanks, connect supply and drain, flush the media and start the system. Sample ports are included so that a treated water sample can be pulled without taking anything apart.
- 4
Retest and replace media
You will know when to retest, when media replacement is due and who to call in Cumberland County when a result needs a second look.
What shapes the job in Gorham
Some homeowners prefer to treat only the water they drink and cook with. A reverse osmosis unit at the kitchen tap can be a sound choice for that, and for wells near Gorham's village and its farm roads we explain how it compares to a whole-house bed.
When to think about PFAS
- A neighbor or nearby well with a positive PFAS result
- A buyer or lender asking for a PFAS result
- A change in nearby land use or old landfill activity
- A treatment system that was never verified
If a PFAS result has you looking for options in Gorham, call or send a request. We will read the report with you and explain what makes sense. We also work in Gray and Standish.
