Water Filtration Services in Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Portsmouth is the anchor of New Hampshire's Seacoast, sitting on the Piscataqua River across from Kittery, Maine. The city's water history is defined in part by the former Pease Air Force Base, where AFFF firefighting foam use led to one of the most significant PFAS contamination events in the region. We work in Portsmouth regularly and know the Seacoast PFAS picture well.

What Portsmouth homes tend to deal with.

Seacoast

Portsmouth is ground zero for Seacoast PFAS awareness. The former Pease Air Force Base, now the Pease Tradeport, is a documented PFAS contamination site where per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances from firefighting foam migrated into groundwater. The Haven well at Pease was shut down in 2014 after PFAS was detected above health advisory levels, and the ongoing response has included significant treatment investment and monitoring. Private wells in Portsmouth and surrounding Seacoast communities should be tested for PFAS as part of any baseline. Beyond PFAS, Portsmouth's coastal location brings salt intrusion risk for wells close to tidal water, iron and manganese from coastal sediments, and the usual lead considerations from pre-1986 in-home plumbing in the city's extensive historic housing stock. Portsmouth's municipal water supply meets federal standards and includes dedicated PFAS treatment infrastructure.

What we install here.

For Portsmouth homes, PFAS testing is a standard part of the first visit. Treatment may include PFAS-rated point-of-entry or point-of-use filtration, reverse osmosis, and whole-home carbon. For well homes, the panel also covers sodium and chloride, arsenic, iron, manganese, and hardness, with systems built around the findings. NHDES PFAS rebate paperwork up to $5,000 is something we handle for qualifying homes.
