Common Water Quality Issues in Apex and Wake County

Private well owners in Apex deal with a unique set of water issues. Some are minor annoyances. Others? They’re serious red flags that need attention.

• Iron, Manganese & Sediment Problems

If your water is leaving rusty stains on your toilets or sinks—or tastes a little metallic—you might be dealing with excess iron or manganese. These naturally occur in our soil, but they don’t belong in your drinking water. Sediment can also build up over time, clogging appliances and reducing flow.

• Rotten Egg Smell from Sulfur

That unmistakable "rotten egg" odor? That’s likely hydrogen sulfide gas. It smells awful and can corrode your plumbing over time. Worse, it often indicates bacterial growth, especially in warm months or stagnant wells.

• Hard Water and Scaling

Hard water might not be dangerous, but it’s a silent killer of appliances. High levels of calcium and magnesium leave behind chalky buildup on faucets, clog your pipes, and reduce the lifespan of water heaters and dishwashers.

• Bacterial Contamination Concerns

Here’s where things get serious. Bacteria like coliform and E. coli can make their way into your well from groundwater runoff, septic issues, or storm flooding. This isn’t something you want to ignore. That’s why regular water testing is so important—especially in a growing area like Apex.

Professional Water Testing Services: Know What You’re Drinking

If you’re not testing your water, you’re guessing—and when it comes to your family’s health, that’s not good enough.

At Well Doctor LLC, we offer professional water testing for Apex homeowners. Our testing covers:

• Iron, manganese, and other metals
• pH and hardness levels
• Sulfates, nitrates, and sediment
• Coliform and E. coli bacteria

We use lab-grade test kits and certified labs to deliver accurate, easy-to-understand results. Once we’ve got the data, we walk you through exactly what’s in your water—and what it means for your health, plumbing, and appliances.

When Should You Test?

• When buying or selling a home
• If your water changes smell, color, or taste
• After major weather events or flooding
• Once a year—at minimum—for well owners

Annual testing helps you stay ahead of contamination, identify small issues before they become expensive, and protect your home from damage.

Well Chlorination Services: Fast Bacteria Removal

If your water test comes back positive for bacteria, don’t panic—we’ve got a fix.

Well chlorination is a proven, effective method for disinfecting your water supply. Here’s how it works:

1. We add a calculated dose of chlorine directly into your well.
2. The chlorine circulates throughout the well and plumbing system to kill bacteria and other microbes.
3. After an appropriate contact time, we flush the system.
4. We retest your water to confirm everything’s clean and safe.

When Is Chlorination Recommended?

• After a failed bacteria test
• After well repairs or new installations
• If you’ve had flooding near your well
• If your water has been stagnant for a long time

Chlorination is fast, effective, and safe when done by professionals. Let us take care of it for you.

FAQs: What Apex Residents Ask Us Most

“How often should I test my well?”
At least once a year, ideally in spring. If you notice changes in smell or taste, test immediately.

“Is my cloudy water dangerous?”
It depends. Cloudiness can come from harmless air bubbles or dangerous sediment and bacteria. A test is the only way to know for sure.

“Can I install a filter myself?”
Technically, yes—but we don’t recommend it. Choosing the wrong system or installing it incorrectly can make things worse. Our team ensures proper sizing, pressure balancing, and performance for the long haul.
