Cloudy, brown, or reddish water often indicates the presence of sediment, rust, or organic matter, which may point to surface contamination or aging pipes.

A slimy residue or stains on sinks, toilets, and tubs could indicate excessive bacteria, algae, or mineral buildup.

Recurring gastrointestinal issues in your household might be linked to bacteria, viruses, or parasites in your water.

Visible sediment or particles in your water could stem from disturbed well sediment, damaged equipment, or runoff contamination.

Fluctuating water pressure may signal a clog or damage caused by debris or contamination within your system.

If heavy construction or flooding has occurred near your property, it may have introduced contaminants into your well.

Routine water testing revealing high levels of nitrates, bacteria, or other harmful substances is a definitive sign of contamination.

Algae growth near your well cap or in the surrounding soil can indicate nutrient-rich runoff has infiltrated your water source.
