On that note, the specialists at Watercure USA have put together your guide to diagnosing private well problems. This way, you can use this guide to identify issues and take action to preserve your water quality and your life.
Common Symptoms of Private Well Problems
When you own a private well, there are a range of signs that you want to be on the lookout for. Although each of these may, in and of themselves, not represent a serious well problem at the start, they can often snowball into larger issues that can be costly or difficult to remedy.
Other Concerns and Why You Shouldn’t Ignore These Either
There are also some additional concerns that are a little more difficult to detect, but that you should be aware of when you own a private well. Each of these can cause serious damage to your water, as well as additional well problems.
The first is to be mindful of that time of year when the road is salted. The reason is because all that salt can cause incredibly salty runoff that affects your well. In our local area of Buffalo and Western New York, this is obviously a concern to keep in mind.
In addition, in more rural parts of the state, you’ll also want to be aware of how agricultural runoff can contaminate your well. From nitrates that aren’t detectable by human sight, taste, or smell to other chemicals that can be toxic, this runoff can be harmful to the health of you and your family.
