Why Well Water Testing Is Important

Your well water might look crystal clear, but harmful contaminants can lurk unseen. Regular well water testing helps protect your family’s health and your home’s plumbing system.

As Michigan’s trusted water quality professionals, we know what contaminants are often found in local wells and how to eliminate them.

Common Michigan Well Water Issues

Those who rely on well water often encounter a variety of quality issues. Some common contaminants include:

• Iron and Manganese: You may experience metallic taste and smell in your drinking water. Ongoing exposure to these contaminants can also clog your pipes and cause permanent damage to your fixtures and appliances. They can also lead to reddish brown or black stains on water fixtures, dishes, laundry, appliances, and your tub or shower.

• Hard Water: Hard water contains a large amount of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium. Beyond scale buildup on fixtures, hard water silently damages your appliances, reducing their efficiency and lifespan. It also leads to higher energy bills and frequent repairs. You’ll often notice physical side effects, too, such as dry, itchy skin or dull hair.

• Sulfur Odor (Hydrogen Sulfide Gas): The “rotten egg” smell of hydrogen sulfide can make your water nearly unusable. Behind the scenes, the bacteria linked to hydrogen sulfide gas can cause slime buildup that obstructs plumbing systems and fosters a habitat for other bacteria. This can result in further issues with taste and smell, as well as potential illness. Black stains on silverware and plumbing fixtures can also be signs of sulfur-reducing bacteria in your well.

• Nitrates: Nitrates from agricultural runoff pose serious health risks, especially for infants and pregnant women. These contaminants are particularly dangerous because they’re often odorless and tasteless— you won’t know they’re there without professional testing.

• Coliform Bacteria: Coliform bacteria indicate there are disease-causing organisms present in your water source.

• Arsenic: Arsenic is a naturally-occurring element that poses a significant health risk to well owners. This odorless, tasteless contaminant can only be detected through professional testing and its long-term side effects can be severe.

• Sediment: Cloudy or muddy-looking water indicates sediment and turbidity issues. This can damage your appliances and hide other contaminants. These problems often worsen after heavy rains or during drought conditions and may signal underlying well construction issues.
