Clean, Safe Water Solutions for Homes in Maine

Thousands of homes across Southern Maine rely on private wells for their water service. If you don’t live in a city or township which provides municipal or communally sourced water, your home most likely draws from a well — which makes you fully responsible for water treatment.

Unless you had your water tested recently, it’s impossible to say what minerals and toxins could be lurking within. You could be exposed to naturally occurring contaminants, including radon and arsenic, without even taking a sip of water. The best way to protect your family is through a whole home water filtration system, which can nearly eliminate or reduce the amount of all pollutants in your water down to safe levels.

A hard water system can complement your whole home water filtration system. Heritage Home Service can install both in your home, reducing both minerals and pollutants and protecting your plumbing from scale buildup.

Our dedicated well and water quality team is the expert in whole home water filtration in Southern Maine. Heritage offers a full suite of water filtration solutions, including new whole home filtration installation, maintenance options, and repairs. We’ll treat your home like our own, making water quality worries a thing of the past.

Owning a home drawing from a private well means you need to be extra vigilant about your water quality. Without regular water testing, you could be exposed to high levels of minerals like lime, calcium, and magnesium, or even naturally occurring toxins like radon and arsenic. Runoff from local industries can also contaminate the water, adding even more reasons for concern.

To keep your family safe, a whole home water filtration system is the answer. The highly trained water team at Heritage can come out on your schedule to provide a water quality analysis, design a solution unique to your home, and answer any questions you may have to help you make the right choice for your family.

Some of the whole-home water filtration systems we install include:

• Multi-stage sand or carbon filtration
• Acid neutralizers
• Iron removal systems
• Reverse osmosis filtration
• UV light filtration for eliminating bacteria

A whole home filtration system can only protect your family when it’s properly maintained by a qualified professional. While simple repairs like filter replacement can be done by homeowners, more complicated systems should be looked at by a technician.

Heritage Home Service offers annual maintenance and repair services for nearly every water filtration system on the market today. If you have a whole home water filter installed, we can make sure it keeps running at top condition.

According to the U.S. EPA, homeowners drawing from private wells should have their water quality tested once per year to ensure the water — and the whole home filtration systems — are safe.

Our dedicated water team can complete water tests during annual maintenance calls to determine the quality of your water. Our field tests check for mineral content, water hardness, pH balance, and alkalinity, giving you an understanding of what’s in your water the same day. If you’re looking for more thorough insight, you can order a lab test and get the full results back in two weeks. You will get the results straight from the lab via email, with follow up from a Heritage water expert to determine the best steps to move forward.

Many Maine homes rely on private wells that can contain naturally occurring contaminants such as iron, manganese, arsenic, and hard water minerals. Even homes on municipal water may experience chlorine taste, sediment, or other water quality concerns. A water filtration system removes these contaminants to provide clean, safe water from every faucet.

Heritage installs whole-home filtration systems, water softeners, reverse osmosis systems, sediment filters, and specialty filters for specific contaminants like iron and arsenic. Our team will test your water and recommend the right system for your home’s water quality.

Yes. Heritage provides water quality testing for Maine homeowners. Testing is especially important for homes on private wells, as well water is not monitored by a municipal authority. Our team can identify contaminants in your water and recommend the appropriate filtration solution.

Most systems require periodic filter changes and occasional cleaning to maintain performance. The frequency depends on the system type, water usage, and contaminant levels. Heritage provides maintenance services to keep your filtration system running at peak effectiveness.

Signs include metallic or sulfur taste, staining on sinks and fixtures, dry skin and hair, scale buildup on faucets and appliances, and cloudy or discolored water. If you notice any of these issues, Heritage can test your water and recommend a filtration solution.
