Water treatment in Pennsylvania
Hard water, corrosive wells, PFAS & Philly lead lines. Free water analysis and local installs across southeastern PA.
From our base in Wilmington, DE, we work across southeastern Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has more than a million private wells serving about 3.5 million people, and the state doesn't regulate them[1][2], so testing is up to the owner. On public water, Pennsylvania's PFAS limits are 14 ppt for PFOA and 18 ppt for PFOS[3], and the federal 4.0 ppt limits take effect in 2029[4].
- Corrosive wells are common in Chester County[5].
- Radon: 14% of USGS-sampled wells exceeded 4,000 pCi/L[6].
- Philadelphia lead lines: 14,272 lead and 1,189 galvanized lines requiring replacement as of October 2024[7].
