Keweenaw wells taste like the rock they came through.

Houghton, Hancock, and Calumet wells run mineral, often acidic, with iron and hardness from copper country rock. We test on-site, then install filtration, a softener, or a pump built for that water.

Well-water treatment in Houghton, Hancock and the Keweenaw

Copper Country wells are not generic UP water. Mining-era geology, Portage Lake lots, and camps toward Calumet and Lake Linden throw iron, minerals, and sometimes bacteria that city Houghton never sees. We test at the tap, show you the result, and size iron filtration, softening, UV, or a pump — no catalog package. See all of the Upper Peninsula →

Treatment for copper-country mineral water.

Acidic, iron-heavy Keweenaw wells eat plumbing. We filter, soften, disinfect when the test says so, and replace pumps that fail in a Hancock freeze.

Water Softeners

End hard-water scale, spotting and dry skin with a properly sized softener, installed and set up right.

Iron & Sulfur Filtration

Kill the rust stains and rotten-egg smell at the source with whole-house iron/sulfur removal.

Well Pump Repair & Replacement

No water or low pressure? We diagnose and replace failing well pumps and pressure tanks fast.

UV & Bacteria Treatment

Protect your family from bacteria in well water with UV disinfection and testing.

Whole-House Filtration

Sediment and carbon filtration for clean, clear water at every tap.

Free Water Testing

We test your water and show you exactly what is in it before recommending anything.

Mineral water quietly wrecks copper-country plumbing.

Iron and acidity pit heaters, fixtures, and pipes. A $2,000–$5,000 system plus a pump you can call is cheaper than replumbing. Free test in Houghton or Hancock before it scales up.

Questions we get asked.

Why is Keweenaw well water metallic or orange?

Copper Country rock puts iron and other minerals in the well. Hydrogen sulfide is common too. We test and treat what is actually there.

How much does a system cost in Houghton?

Softener from about $1,800; iron/sulfur plus softener from about $3,200. UV if bacteria shows. Free test. Financing available.

Do you repair well pumps in Hancock?

Yes — Houghton, Hancock, Dollar Bay, Lake Linden, Calumet. Pump and pressure tank, including no-water calls.

Is the water test free?

Yes. In-home test, numbers on the counter, recommendation after — not before.

Do some Houghton houses have city water?

Yes. Tell us. We will not install a well system on municipal supply.
