Well Chlorination Services

If your well water shows signs of bacteria, odor, or contamination, chlorination may be the solution. Proper well chlorination disinfects your system, eliminates harmful bacteria, and restores water quality.

Well chlorination (sometimes called shock chlorination) is the process of disinfecting your well and plumbing system using a carefully measured chlorine solution.

This treatment helps eliminate:

• Coliform bacteria
   
• Iron bacteria
   
• Sulfur-reducing bacteria
   
• Algae growth
   
• Odor-causing organisms
   

It is commonly recommended after contamination events or positive water test results.

You may need well chlorination if:

• Your water test shows bacteria
   
• You notice a rotten egg smell
   
• Water appears cloudy or discolored
   
• You’ve experienced flooding near the well
   
• Your well cap was damaged or removed
   
• A new pump or plumbing work was completed
   
• The well has been unused for an extended period
   

Prompt treatment helps prevent contamination from spreading throughout your plumbing system.

We follow a thorough, controlled process to ensure effective disinfection:

Step 1: System Assessment

We evaluate your well depth, system size, and water volume to determine proper chlorine dosage.

Step 2: Controlled Chlorine Introduction

A measured chlorine solution is introduced into the well and circulated throughout the plumbing system.

Step 3: System Circulation

We ensure chlorinated water reaches all faucets, fixtures, and components.

Step 4: Contact Time

The system remains treated for a specified period to allow proper disinfection.

Step 5: Flushing & Restoration

The system is safely flushed and restored to normal operation.

Improper chlorination can:

• Damage pumps and pressure tanks
   
• Corrode plumbing components
   
• Leave excessive chlorine residue
   
• Fail to eliminate bacteria fully
   

We calculate proper dosage and follow safe procedures to protect your well system and equipment.
