Radon in Essex County Water

Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and enter your home through your well. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that everyone test their home for radon.

Radon risk in Essex County, MA, is a concern for many homeowners who rely on private wells. The EPA’s Map of Radon Zones (1993) for Massachusetts highlights Essex County as a red zone with high potential for elevated indoor radon levels. While radon is more commonly discussed as an air quality issue, drinking and showering with radon-contaminated water can lead to exposure.

H2O Care offers effective radon mitigation solutions, typically using aeration or granular activated carbon filters. If you think you have a radon problem, contact our team today. Our experts will test your water supply for radon gas, explain the results, and recommend the right system for your needs.

Arsenic in Essex County Water

A 2008 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) study found that 13% of tested private bedrock wells in Massachusetts exceeded federal limits for arsenic. This highlights the importance of regular water testing.

Arsenic usually occurs in two forms (As III and As V) in water. Effective treatment often requires converting As III to As V for easier removal. Designing the right system depends on the types of arsenic present and factors like well pump size, household water use, etc.

At H2O Care, we install arsenic removal systems across Massachusetts, using proven methods such as oxidation, reverse osmosis, and adsorption media.

Hydrogen Sulfide Gas in Well Water (Rotten Egg Smell)

If your water smells like rotten eggs, hydrogen sulfide gas is usually the cause. This issue is typically linked to sulfur-reducing bacteria and is common in some Essex County wells. Beyond its unpleasant odor, hydrogen sulfide can corrode plumbing and stain fixtures. Additionally, the bacteria can produce slime that builds up in pipes.

We offer treatment solutions such as carbon filtration, oxidation, aeration systems, and more to remove hydrogen sulfide gas and restore clean, odor-free water.

Essex County Well Pump Support

In addition to water filtration, H2O Care provides well pump services, including installation, repair, and replacement. If you’re experiencing low pressure, pump failure, or sputtering faucets, our technicians can quickly diagnose and fix the issue. By combining well pump support with water treatment, we deliver complete well water solutions across Essex County.
