If you rely on a well for your home’s water supply, it’s essential to get the water well services you need to keep your water clean and safe to drink. While many well maintenance services require a professional, there are a few steps you can take on your own. Here’s what you can do to keep your drinking water safe.

How to Protect Your Home’s Water

1. Prevent Contamination

The ground around your well could contain chemicals and contaminants that can be washed into your well by the rain. Never use fertilizers or pesticides near your well, and make sure your well is always covered.

2. Pay Attention to the Water

Whenever you drink water or run a bath, look at the water’s color. Has it changed? Does the water have anything unusual in it? How does the water taste? Changes in color and taste may indicate issues like algae in your water, a rusty well pump, or chemical contamination. 

3. Schedule Regular Well Testing & Maintenance

You should have your well water professionally tested to identify any contaminants at least once a year. If any issues with your water are found, contact your water well service provider immediately. Well repairs are likely necessary to ensure that your water is safe. Look for a well service provider that is reputable, has the necessary equipment to repair your well, and is familiar with local well safety codes.
