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 well water testing and proper treatment. We can quickly and effectively inspect your well for issues, test for bacteria, and disinfect your your water in order to and remove dangerous bacteria and pollutants that could harm you and your family.
Why Is Well Water Testing Important?
While the EPA has guidelines related to public water testing, 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, and we can help you do that by providing comprehensive testing, including looking at:
- 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.
Well Water Treatment in Raleigh
If we discover any presence of harmful bacteria or pollutants, 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 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 in a few weeks to ensure no contaminants have re-entered the well.
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, we 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.

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.

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.

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.

Andy J.
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!

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.

Had no water when we woke up today and was quickly searching for a company that could repair the issue, either a pressure tank or well pump. Found A&T Well and Pump and they seemed like a good one to try. Gave them a call around 7:45am, they arrived by 10:30am. Quickly identified the issue was the 24 year old pressure tank had finally given up the ghost. So they had a new pressure tank installed within and hour. Would definitely use their services again, but maybe my well pump won't need it. I didn't exactly shop around so I can't vouch for prices but for their promptness and speedy repair, it was worth it. 
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. 
Bobby E.
Helped me get my water back up and running. Quick, professional...would recommend! 
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!

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! 
Leslie S.
The well pump at my house broke and they came and repaired it very quickly. They were friendly and courteous when I contacted them and they fixed it right away. They also helped me check the levels in my water to ensure the water was clean and safe for me. 
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. ×
