Reasons to Test Your Water
Most people call because they see, smell or taste something. Some call because they just moved onto a well.
Orange, Brown or Black Stains
Rust-colored stains in sinks and toilets usually mean iron. Dark stains can mean manganese.
A Rotten-Egg Smell
A sulfur odor, often stronger from the hot water, is a common well water complaint.
White Scale and Spotty Dishes
Crust on faucets and spots on glasses point to hard water, which a water softener handles.
Cloudy or Gritty Water
Sediment in the water shows up in the glass, in aerators and at the bottom of the water heater.
You're on a Private Well
No utility tests a private well for you. A test tells you what you're working with before you choose any treatment.
Test First, Then Build the Treatment Around the Results
Clog Heroes tests what is actually in your water and builds the treatment around the results, from filtration to softeners, for city and well homes alike. The test is how you avoid buying a softener for an iron problem, or a filter for hard water.
When the Test Shows Hardness
Water Softener
Calcium and magnesium cause scale, spots and soap that won't lather. A softener removes them.

Water Filtration
Sediment, iron, odor and taste are filter jobs. Some homes need a filter and a softener together.

Water Testing Questions
Do You Test Well Water and City Water?
Yes. Clog Heroes tests water and builds treatment for city and well homes alike.
How Much Does Water Testing Cost in Fredericksburg, VA?
The dispatch fee is $89, waived when you go ahead with work on site. After-hours and emergency dispatch is $189 and is never credited back. Any treatment is priced on site after the test, in writing, before any work starts.
Do I Need a Softener or a Filter?
That's what the test answers. A softener handles hardness. A filter handles sediment, iron, odor and taste. Some homes need both.
Why Does My Well Water Smell Like Rotten Eggs?
A sulfur smell is common in well water and often stronger from the hot side. A test shows what's causing it, and the right filter depends on the result. See how well water works.
