Whether the home has a private well or public water, H2O Care’s comprehensive water quality analysis will identify any issues that should be remedied before you move in.

For homes with private wells, we’ll do a complete well inspection and performance test. This will help ensure the system is functioning properly and able to provide enough water to meet your family’s needs.

Once you move in, our preventative maintenance and testing program allows you to keep tabs on your water quality year after year. You’ll establish a record of consistent water quality over the years, a valuable asset should you decide to sell your home.

Property Managers

Clean Water, Satisfied Tenants

Overview

Residential water quality testing, treatment, and maintenance are crucial to ensure your tenants and guests have access to clean, quality drinking water.

When your property has a private well serving two or more units, local health regulations may require periodic water quality monitoring and reporting. If contamination is found, you will need to address it with effective water treatment to meet regulatory requirements.

H2O Care is uniquely qualified to help Property Managers and Landlords in managing water testing and reporting requirements, as well as designing treatment solutions that meet the specific needs of any particular location. Additionally, since you may not be on site regularly, H2O Care’s preventative maintenance and testing program allows you to schedule ongoing system maintenance, as well as deliveries of salt and other materials.

PFAS Release Investigations and Remediation Projects

H2O Care is involved in multiple PFAS investigation and remediation projects across Massachusetts. We work in partnership with Environmental Engineering and Consulting Firms to bring forward comprehensive solutions for PFAS remediation for private wells. We can help with:

  • Coordination and Completion of Residential Well Sampling Activities
  • Design and Installation of Treatment Solutions
  • Ongoing Sampling and Monitoring of Treatment Effectiveness
  • Ongoing Maintenance of Treatment Systems
Environmental Consultants
In some areas, a PFAS release can potentially impact hundreds of private well owners. We are uniquely experienced in the complicated logistics of scheduling sampling with large numbers of homeowners, and are sensitive to the potential personal inconvenience/disruption that in-home sampling can pose.

Your firm may have staff trained in sampling and monitoring wells, stormwater, or surface waters, but our technicians are also familiar with the residential well equipment (pressure tanks, pressure switches, and water quality treatment systems) used in private well systems. We have collected more than 2,000 PFAS samples in over 120 towns in Massachusetts and have installed and maintained hundreds of PFAS treatment systems.

If you are interested in receiving our PFAS Statement of Qualifications or if you have an active PFAS investigation, give us a call—we’d be happy to discuss our qualifications and how we can assist you and the homeowners.
