Water Treatment Services in Durham, Maine

Tired of Rust Stains or That Sulfur Smell? 

If you’ve noticed rusty sinks, cloudy dishes, or a “rotten-egg” odor, your Durham well isn’t alone. Many homes in Durham draw from the same aquifer that feeds parts of Freeport and Lisbon, where iron, sulfur, and arsenic are common. Left untreated, these minerals can damage plumbing and affect taste.

The Fontus Fix 

At Fontus Water Treatment, we make it easy to restore clear, great-tasting water. We begin with a free on-site water test for issues like taste, odor, or hardness, and if lab testing is needed for contaminants such as arsenic, radon, or PFAS, we’ll coordinate through a certified third-party lab to ensure accurate results. Our team understands Durham’s mixed bedrock and mineral zones and builds systems that solve the problem at its source.
