If a water test has revealed coliform bacteria, E. coli, or other microbial contamination in your well water — or if you’ve received a boil water advisory — your water needs sanitation treatment. Bacteria in drinking water is a serious health risk for your family, and it requires a permanent solution, not just a one-time shock treatment.
Bacteria can enter your well through surface water runoff, cracks in the well casing, improperly sealed well caps, or naturally occurring groundwater contamination. Once bacteria are present, they can multiply quickly in the warm, nutrient-rich environment inside your well and plumbing system.
Warning signs that bacteria may be in your water:
Ultraviolet disinfection is a chemical-free method that destroys bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms by exposing water to UV light as it flows through the system. The Luminor UV System treats your water at the point of entry — every drop that enters your home is sanitized without adding any chemicals, changing the taste, or leaving any byproducts.
For more severe contamination or water with higher turbidity, we install a Chlorine Injection System with Retention. This system precisely injects a measured amount of sanitizer into your water supply and holds it in a retention tank, giving it enough contact time to eliminate bacteria completely.
1. Test Your Water — We collect water samples and send them to a certified lab for comprehensive bacterial analysis.
2. Assess Your Space — We inspect your well, plumbing, and installation area to determine the best sanitation approach.
3. Review Results & Quote — Based on the type of contamination and your home’s setup, we recommend a Luminor UV System or Chlorine Injection System and provide a transparent quote.
4. Install — We install your sanitation system and verify it’s working correctly before we leave.
Concerned about bacteria in your water? A lab test is the only way to know for sure. Call (724) 588-2652 or fill out the form to schedule your water test today.
Well shocking (pouring bleach into your well) can temporarily reduce bacteria, but it doesn’t prevent them from coming back. If your water tests positive for bacteria, you need a permanent point-of-entry system that treats every gallon of water that enters your home — 24/7, automatically.

I had the pleasure of having Sam and Hunter for the installation of my new water softener, and I couldn’t be more impressed! They were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. The system is working great, and I can already notice a difference in the water quality. Highly recommend!
We chose Chatfield drilling for our collapsed well, and we're glad we did! Matt & his team arrived quickly to assess the situation. This company is very professional, and provides excellent service with affordable pricing. We are beyond pleased, and have fantastic water!
Chatfield Drilling replaced a submersible pump, extended our well casing above ground, and installed a sanitary cap at our farm house. Both Matt and Sam were happy to answer all of our questions. Amazing to deal with, thank you!
