A good test is a plan, not just a number. For a Arundel home on a well, we choose a panel that fits the ground it sits on, collect the sample the way the lab needs it and walk through the report in plain language afterward.
Well Water Testing for Arundel homes
Arundel is a mostly rural town inland of Kennebunkport, with wooded lots, small farms and quiet roads between Biddeford and Kennebunk. Public water is limited, so private wells are the norm for most houses in town.
Iron and manganese staining, hard water and sulfur smell are the usual complaints, with radon and arsenic as the health questions. Many houses were built in waves during the last few decades, so wells of very different ages sit side by side.
What we see in York County wells
Inland wells in York County can differ from lot to lot, so each deserves its own results. A Arundel panel covers bacteria, nitrate, pH, hardness, iron, manganese and arsenic, and adds radon and uranium for any drilled well.
What to test first in Arundel
- Total coliform and E. coli, the first safety check
- Radon and uranium, where the geology suggests them
- Lead and copper from the plumbing, if the pipes are old
How it works
How we handle well water testing, step by step
- 1
Choose the panel
The panel depends on the well type, the age of the house, local geology and what concerns you. We keep it focused but complete.
- 2
Collect correctly
We draw the sample from a tap before any treatment, run the water as the lab instructs and fill the bottles without touching the inside. Some tests need special preservatives or chilled shipping.
- 3
Lab analysis
The lab reports each result against a standard where one exists. We receive the report and review it before sending it on, so nothing arrives as a puzzle.
- 4
Review together
Results are interpreted in plain language. If treatment makes sense, we propose the simplest option; if nothing is needed, we say so and suggest a retest interval.
What shapes the job in Arundel
Which tests you pick matters. A starter panel is inexpensive and catches the common problems; extras for radon, uranium, PFAS or lead and copper are added when the setting or the house suggests them. We help decide for your Arundel property.
When a test is worth doing
- You are buying or selling a house on a private well
- The water looks, smells or tastes different than it did
- There is a new baby, pregnancy or immune-compromised household member
- It has been a few years since the last panel
