The Importance of Well Chlorination in Western North Carolina

If you rely on a private well for your home’s water supply, keeping it safe and clean is a top priority. Over time, wells can become contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms that affect water quality. One of the most effective ways to protect your family’s health is through professional well chlorination.

What Is Well Chlorination?

Well chlorination, sometimes called shock chlorination, is the process of disinfecting your well and plumbing system using chlorine. This treatment eliminates harmful bacteria such as coliform and E. coli, which may enter your well through groundwater runoff, flooding, or a compromised well casing.

Signs You May Need Well Chlorination

Positive bacteria test in your water sample

Strange taste or odor (sulfur or musty smells)

Cloudy or discolored water

Flooding near your well

Recent well repair or pump replacement


If any of these apply, it’s a good idea to schedule a well disinfection service right away.

Why Professional Chlorination Matters

While some homeowners attempt DIY chlorination, it’s easy to under- or over-treat the well, which can leave bacteria behind or cause damage to the system. A licensed professional ensures:

Correct chlorine dosage for your well depth and capacity

Safe handling and application

Proper flushing of the system

Retesting for clean, safe water


At Case Water Systems, we use proven chlorination methods that meet state and county health guidelines, giving you peace of mind that your drinking water is safe.

How Often Should Wells Be Chlorinated?

Routine chlorination isn’t always necessary, but you should test your well water at least once a year. If results show contamination, chlorination is the best first step to restoring water quality. It’s also recommended after:

Pump or plumbing work

Flooding or surface water intrusion

Detecting foul odors in your water
