Water in this region

Our service area straddles three geologies: the limestone and shale of the Mohawk and Hudson valleys, the sand and gravel aquifers of the Saratoga lowlands, and the granite and gneiss of the Adirondacks. Hardness is common in the valley towns and in the glacial aquifers; Adirondack wells tend to be softer but more variable, and often acidic. Municipal supplies in the cities and villages are disinfected with chlorine or chloramine. None of this predicts your water; it is why we test at your tap rather than assume from a map. Each county page above describes what we typically see there.

Useful links for homeowners

  • New York State Department of Health: private wells. State guidance on testing frequency, what to test for, and finding an ELAP-certified laboratory.
  • Your municipal water provider's annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report), published each year and usually posted on the town or village website. It tells you which disinfectant is used and what was detected at the plant.
  • Your county health department, for questions about private well testing and local requirements. Contact details are on each county's website.

Service area questions

Do you charge a travel fee for distant counties?

We confirm any terms in writing when we arrange your visit. We do not publish fees on this site.

Do you serve towns just outside these counties?

Ask. The counties above are where we have committed to service. For a property just across a county line we will tell you plainly whether we can help.

Do you have an office I can visit?

We are a service-area business: we come to you. We do not have a showroom. Contact details are on the contact page.

Start with your water, not a catalog

Every recommendation begins with an in-home water test and a conversation about how your household uses water. Tell us about your home and we will be in touch to arrange a visit.
