Well Water Testing
Protect against contaminants with annual water testing.
Annual well water testing can uncover contamination. There are many water treatment options available to address most contaminant issues. Some commonly occurring contaminants may include:
- Heavy metals like Copper and Lead
- Nitrates or Nitrites - These are naturally-occurring contaminants that originate from animal and farm waste, flooded or malfunctioning sewers and septic systems, and wastewater.
- Iron or sulfur bacteria that cause staining or foul odors like sulfur or "rotten egg smell."
- Excess mineralization that causes hard water
- pH - how acidic or basic your water is
Some of these issues are easy to spot, while some require testing through a certified lab. If you get water from a private well, it's important to regularly test your water supply quality.
Annual preventative maintenance ensures safe, clean drinking water for you and your family.
Geothermal Well Drilling
Looking for an affordable, energy-efficient, and renewable energy source?
Geothermal exchange will allow you to heat and cool your home for 25-50% less than traditional systems with greater levels of home comfort and control, less maintenance, and enhanced home resale value.
Like most other wells, a geothermal well is created by well drilling a large hole down into the earth until a specific depth is reached that can supply enough geothermal energy to heat and cool the house or facility it is installed for. Geothermal systems are designed to use the Earth's constant subsurface temperature in conjunction with a heat exchanger to add heat in the winter and remove heat in the summer.
Geothermal energy is eco-friendly and does not cause pollution or exhaust energy, making it an ideal resource for people who want to heat and cool their buildings without the carbon footprint.
Geothermal exchange is endorsed by the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
A Geothermal Well System delivers maximum year-round comfort with minimal environmental impact. They are found in all types of buildings from luxury homes, single-family homes, businesses, and schools. You don't need a new home to have a Geothermal exchange system - simply contact us to evaluate your current system for retrofitting.
