Well water in and around Raleigh is generally safe and healthy for your family to drink, cook with, and use for household needs. However, if you have concerns about the purity of your water or fear your well may have been contaminated, it's important to contact us for water well testing and water well treatment services.
At A&T Well and Pump, we serve home and property owners in the Raleigh area of North Carolina. Our water well treatment experts can quickly and effectively inspect your well for issues, test for bacteria, and disinfect your well water in order to remove dangerous bacteria and pollutants that could harm you and your family.
Why Is Water Well Testing Important?
While the EPA has guidelines for water well testing to protect your home’s water, it's important to know that those guidelines don't apply to private wells. This means that as a homeowner, you're responsible for making sure your water is safe. However, unless you know what to look for you won’t know how to properly diagnose and treat your well water. That’s where A&T Well and Pump’s services come in– our water well testing experts provide comprehensive testing for your well water.
When we provide our water well testing services, we look for:
- Coliform bacteria: These are microbes that are found in human and animal waste, within the soil, and surface water (runoff from rain, and water in puddles, ponds, and lakes). HIgh quantities in your water can be a sign of harmful bacteria, including E. Coli, parasites, and other things that can make you very sick.
- pH balance: Making sure your water is neither too acidic or basic is important both in how your water looks and tastes, but also to make sure it's not corroding your pipes and leaching lead into your water.
- Nitrates: Like coliform, this can come from waste, septic leaks, flooded sewers, or even plant decay.
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Industrial and petroleum-based chemicals can enter the ground water system and are highly toxic. We test for benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and other pollutants.
Water Well Treatment in Raleigh
If our water well treatment specialists discover any presence of harmful bacteria or pollutants in your well water, we will work quickly to restore safe, healthy water to your home. If your well needs to be cleaned and your water treated, we offer a highly comprehensive well water treatment service that includes:
- Video well inspections to look for debris and check the electrical system that runs the pump.
- Flushing the well and pipes of any contaminated water.
- Disinfecting the well water with a carefully measured chlorine solution.
- Retesting a few weeks after water well treatment to ensure no contaminants have re-entered the well and water supply.
When Should I Have My Well Treated?
You should have your well water tested annually to ensure it maintains its safety. However, there are other times when you should call our well treatment company in Raleigh, including:
- You experience flooding or your water appears brown-ish or yellow after heavy rains
- Testing shows coliform bacteria or other contaminants
- After any plumbing project or well repairs
- Any changes in water color or taste occur
- Annually for maintenance and startup for seasonal wells used in vacation homes for example
Why You Should Never Treat Your Own Well
While there are instructions online for "shocking" a well, our water well treatment experts from A&T Well and Pump in Raleigh don't recommend it. Sanitizing a water well isn’t exactly a simple process, and in order to be thorough, the well itself needs to be cleaned. Just like with any construction project, certain dangers are inherently present when digging or repairing a water well. However, most people don’t realize that cleaning a contaminated well can be hazardous as well.
Some of the hazards that come with cleaning and disinfecting a well include:
- Electrical Shock – wet connections or frayed wiring can cause shock if the electrical system isn’t turned off. A well repair technician in Raleigh can properly diagnose and repair faulty wiring.
- Sharp/jagged debris – if a well has been contaminated by flooding or disasters, glass, wood and metal could be present. Debris should be removed without physically entering the well.
- Dangerous Vapors and Gases – Certain gases can accumulate in closed water wells and chlorine solutions used to treat contaminated water wells can cause skin and eye irritation and emit harmful vapors. Working in open air areas is ideal to avoid vapor inhalation.
It's vital to leave your well sanitation efforts in the hands of the experienced and knowledgable water well treatment professionals from A&T Well and Pump.
What Are the Benefits of Water Well Treatment and Filtration Services?
Water filtration offers several benefits that contribute to improved water quality, health, and overall well-being. Here are some of the key advantages of using water filtration for water well treatment in Raleigh.
Improved Taste and Odor
Water filtration systems can remove unpleasant tastes and odors from tap water, making it more palatable and enjoyable to drink and use for cooking.
Removal of Contaminants
Filtration systems for water well treatment can effectively remove various contaminants from water, including:
- Sediment and Particles: Filters can trap particles like sand, silt, and rust, preventing them from entering your water supply.
- Chlorine and Chloramines: Many municipal water treatment facilities use chlorine or chloramines for disinfection. Filtration can remove or reduce the taste and smell of these chemicals.
- Heavy Metals: Filtration can target heavy metals like lead, mercury, and copper, which may leach into the water from pipes or other sources.
- Microorganisms: Some filtration systems, such as those with UV or ceramic filters, can remove or deactivate harmful bacteria, viruses, and protozoa.
- Organic Contaminants: Filtration can remove organic pollutants like pesticides, herbicides, and industrial chemicals.
- Hardness Minerals: Water softeners, a type of water filtration system, can reduce the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions responsible for water hardness, preventing scale buildup in pipes and appliances.
Health Benefits
Water well treatment filtration systems can enhance the safety of your drinking water by reducing and preventing the risk of contamination from the presence of harmful microorganisms. This can reduce the risk of waterborne illnesses and protect your health.
Protection of Plumbing and Appliances
Removing sediment, minerals, and other impurities can extend the life of your plumbing fixtures and appliances such as water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines, by preventing scale buildup and corrosion.
Environmental Considerations
Using water filtration can reduce your reliance on bottled water, which contributes to plastic waste and environmental pollution. Filtration at home helps minimize the environmental impact of bottled water consumption.
Convenience
Access to clean, filtered water at home is convenient and cost-effective in the long run, as you don't need to purchase bottled water or rely solely on untreated tap water.
Customization
There are various types of water well treatment filtration systems available, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your specific water quality concerns and needs. You can select from options like pitcher filters, under-sink filters, whole-house systems, and more.
Peace of Mind
Knowing that your water is being filtered and purified can provide peace of mind, especially in areas with known water quality issues or concerns about contaminants.

I cannot say enough for Daniel and his company. My elderly in-laws were having issues with their well. I was out of town and couldn’t go check it out myself. Daniel went over right away and diagnosed the problem down to issue. I had him replace the pump and tank. There were other issues with the well and filters since a lot of iron was in the well. Daniel came out two more times and we got everything working correctly. He even showed me what to do if iron clogged our system again. Awesome team and very professional. Can’t go wrong hiring his company.

I cannot say enough good things about A&T Well and Pump! Over the weekend, our well pump died, and we were in a real bind. A&T Well and Pump came to the rescue with incredible speed and reliability. Their team arrived promptly and got straight to work, showcasing their expertise and dedication.The quality of their work was outstanding. They didn’t just fix the problem; they ensured everything was running perfectly before they left. They had everything the could possibly need on the truck, and were able to work their magic that same day! The customer service and care we received were mind blowing. From the initial call with Tyler to the final handshake, every interaction was professional and friendly.A&T Well and Pump truly went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will absolutely be using their services again when needed.

I have nothing but great things to say about this company. From when I called to set up an appointment to when my service was done, everything was so quick and above standards. Both Reggie & Stewart were amazing. They both took the time to explain what was wrong and gave me options on what I needed to do to fix the problem. On top of there professional service, they were both so warm and welcoming of my 2 year old being interested in what they were doing. I cannot recommend this company (and Reggie & Stewart) enough. Thank you! 
mary D.
Our well pump stopped working. Stewart came the same day and provided a detailed explanation of what the problem likely was and an estimate of the cost to replace the pump. He came out and replaced it first thing the following morning. Very professional and knowledgeable guy! Highly recommend this company.

I put in a request to come out and do some repairs on my residential well system. The team quickly diagnosed the problem and replaced the failing parts that day. We noticed that the hot water heater was failing, and they came out and installed a replacement unit the next day. Very skilled and knowledgeable service provider. 
Teineshia S.
A&T Well and Pump is a company that has knowledgeable, honest and dependable employees such as Daniel. I called on Saturday, Feb. 24, 2024 around 1pm & within an hour Daniel showed up and worked nonstop in the rain until the problem was diagnosed and fixed, well after 7pm!His customer service alone was superb! I would recommend this company above any other around.The superb customer service, honesty, reasonable price, and transparency that Daniel displayed truly makes A &T Well and Pump an outstanding company.

It was a Saturday morning when I called and tea and I could not have been more impressed.After two other supposed well companies came out and could not resolve the problem. Tyler came out with the screw compared to replace the well pump but instead his technician reviewed all the controls on the well pump replaced the controller and Harris back in business in 30 minutes and saving us thousands of dollars.I do know that I’ll need to remove the well and have an updated and I’ll definitely call auntie when that time comes!MD 
Daniel S.
Our well pump stopped functioning midday on a Saturday and we had no water. I contacted A&T since I have used them in the past and they were out here within an hour. They diagnosed the issue and worked after normal hours on a Saturday in the heat to replace the pump. I would highly recommend Daniel and crew!

Closed on a fixer-upper, 12 hours later we had no water. Called Tyler at 830PM and he was there the next morning. He and his crew had us back up and running in a matter of hours. We are grateful to him for his prompt service and professionalism. We highly recommend him and his team for any similar job! 
Travis J.
I'm not one to leave reviews but it needs to be known that these guys are fantastic to work with. Called them Saturday morning and A&T was at my house within two hours! Tyler was able to diagnosis the issue and had a new well pump along with two expansion tanks installed by Monday morning. Prompt, efficient and reasonably priced. Customer service exceeded all expectations! High praise to this team. 
King_Eric
Contacted A&T, they where very kind, and professional, they answered all my questions, no attitude, no fuss, very honest, and patient, and very, very knowledgeable. Definitely a Go-To Company. I am very pleased. 
Vincent W.
Tyler came out to take a look at our well pump after it froze over night. Nothing could be done because it has to be totally replaced and the warehouse is closed until Monday or Tuesday at the earliest. We have had the worst luck with our house since we bought it in September. Out of the kindness of his heart he waved the fee for coming out, gave us heaters to keep the kids warm since our hvac is also not working and even gifted us some money to take the kids out for Christmas. He wished me a merry Christmas and went home to see his family after a 13 hour shift. Then, he called about 10 minutes later to ask us if he needed to come back and give us some drop cords for the heaters. This man is a God send. God bless you Tyler. Merry Christmas. 
CPS S.

Saw that the well head in the riser was leaking. Called A&T before 8am and someone answered immediately. They had a repair crew out here by 10:30am and fixed the issue quickly. Very knowledgeable crew who were very helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better response time and better service. Great job! 
Anhonestman123
Had a personal emergency question about my artisan well run off. Tyler was professional, helpful and, even stopped over my house just to consult me on the issue. He resolved it quickly. Def advise using this company for any well work. 
Nona S.
I cannot say enough about how great the crew was that did our work. They were knowledgeable and friendly while keeping a very professional manner. They answered all of our questions. Showed us how and when to service filters and explained all the things a first time well run home owner needs to know. I’d highly recommend these guys whether in a pinch, or just needing some maintenance work done. 
Chris G.
Fast service, fair price, friendly people. I highly recommend them and would not hesitate to use them again.

I highly recommend A & T Well and Pump for all of your water needs. The owner is extremely nice, and cares deeply about his customers! Tyler (the owner) will make sure all your needs are taken care of. If you want someone that will go the extra mile, call A & T Well and Pump! 
LEVR Studios L.
Outstanding service. A&T was fast to respond and was on-site, on time. The crew was fully prepared to deal with the issue and had the pump replaced quickly. They were respectful, kept the site clean and even jumped in to do some emergency repair work. Their prices were more than fair given the situation. Will certainly look to A&T in the future for installation, repair and professional services. 
Mr J.
Had a pressure diaphragm rust through with a hole on the bottom filling part of my crawlspace up with 6.5 inches of water. Called on A & T Well and Pump to come and replace it, took them about 30 minutes and waited around to make sure the pressure was good in the house and everything was back to normal. Showed me a few things about the system so that I wouldnt be completely n00b about it and the system looks great and well, no pun intended, done!Went from a 36 gallon to a 44 gallon and the pressure in the house is very noticeable, so basically got an upgrade that i needed but didnt even realize that i wanted.If i have other issues of this nature, water heater, pump, hopefully not the pressurizer :o), I will definitely be calling them first.Called in the AM and they were able to make it out to my house the same day putting an end to our water outage. 
Ron P.
My house had no water and this was the only business that answered my call after hours. The staff are knowledgeable and have lots of experience dealing with well and pump issues. Very easy to work with, and fair pricing. Will definitely call A & T again for future well or pump issues.

Replaced our pressure tank in 2014 and called them back to replace the well pump in 2018. Did a fantastic job and will recommend them to family and friends. Thank you for the quick response and quality work! 
Bridget Rimpf W.
Great company, very responsive to requests, they work fast! 
Raleigh Hidden H.
Great experience! Tyler was great, and he made the process easy and quick! 
James S.
It's never good to wake up to a house without water, especially on New Years Day. The discharge line at our remote well site in the development had frozen and sheared off at the pressure tank. I called A&T at 8:00 am and Ted and crew were on site by 10:00 am. Replaced the pipe and tee fittings with solid brass in lieu of PVC and we were back in business by noon. Great work! Made sure everything was well-insulated by afternoon, especially with this prolonged cold snap. Note: I would have had to wait till the next day for anyone else to respond. A big thank you to Tyler and Company for the quick response and excellent service. 
William C.
I am so thankful for Tyler and his team, they are excellent! They specialize in well pumps and repair, quick, professional and will explain the process and answer any questions you may have. I will never use anyone but them for this day forward. A+Look no farther, they are the best! 
John B.
Best customer service ever. Looking forward to doing business with them again. 
Gregory B.
I just wanted to extend my gratitude to Tyler for treating our water problem with the same level of urgency that we were feeling at home. They did everything they could to help us as fast as possible, and did a great job! 
Ryan H.
Tyler was great to work with! My family's farm well needed an emergency pump repair to prevent loss of water to Spring crops and livestock. We contacted A&T after 5pm and Tyler promptly responded and arrived shortly after the call to repair the pump system. The team thoroughly cleaned the work space and completed the job same day! I highly recommend A&T Well and Pump of Raleigh for water well issues. ×
