Haskell's Water Treatment was established in 1977 by Warren Haskell. In the late 1980's, the company expanded becoming Haskell's Well Drilling and Water Treatment. Today, operating as two separate companies you can find Haskell's Water Treatment and Haskell's Well Drilling under one roof at our Route 90 location in Rockland, Maine.
In 2006, Haskell's Water Treatment was purchased by Steve Willis and Jack Martin, and continues to service mid-coast Maine. Our company installs and services water treatment systems that address a full spectrum of water quality issues. We can install systems that treat less common issues, also. We are here to ensure your well water is safe and free of impurities.

Services
Owners Warren Haskell and Russell Cookingham are both State of Maine-licensed Master Well Drillers and Master Pump Installers with many years of experience. We also offer troubleshooting and repairs for water wells and pumping systems. If you are considering a geothermal project, we can drill those wells too!
The hydrologic cycle (also known as water cycle) shows the process in which wells receive water. Due to the type of bedrock found in mid-coast Maine, we often find problems with iron, hardness, manganese, and acidic water. Radon and arsenic are quite prevalent in Maine, also. The first step to water treatment is finding out what exactly is in your well water.
The first step to solve a bacteria or e-coli problem is to "shock" your well with bleach or chlorine tablets. Chlorinating or "shocking" the well is not very complicated, so if you would like to attempt it yourself we have provided directions below. If you would like us to chlorinate the well for you, please call our office at (207) 594-4947 to schedule an appointment.
Arsenic in well water is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. The only way to identify its presence is to have the water tested through a state certified lab. Maine's state limit was dropped in 2006 to less than 10 ug/L. The State of Maine estimates that 1 in 10 private wells in Maine have arsenic concentrations above this limit.
Ninety eight percent of towns with public water systems chlorinate the water because any water supply, well water included, can become contaminated with bacteria. The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends testing yearly for bacteria through a state certified laboratory. Typically, results are known within 3 to 5 days and we highly recommend you always chose to get a "count" (not results with just absent/present).

I had an emergency with my Bubble Up Radon equipment. Even though they were extremely busy they made the time that day to stop by and help me. Because they didn’t have the parts that day, Jack made a temporary fix until they could return with the part. As soon as they received it, within days, they were back. Thank you so much for your quick and professional response!

Like the knucklehead that I am I tried to remove a rusty hose fitting from my expansion tank. I broke a pipe & water was pouring non-stop into my basement. My regular Plummer couldn't come to my home & suggested I call Haskells. The young lady answering the phone suggested that I shut my well pump off to stop the water from running into my basement, and so I wouldn't burn out my well pump. When the young man came to my home later that day he spoke with my son. My son said the plummer was polite & professional. Because Haskells had to order a part they fixed my water temporarily& came back on the

I regret ever installing the water treatment system from them. it constantly requires maintenance, always at a fee and increasingly on a waiting list. it has a light that is supposed to kill bacteria that burns out in a year or less. So calling them to come out is a chore. I would not recommend them or this product at the time i had it installed, it was over 10K. Move on.

Installed filtration system at our house below market value. Outstanding service. They take the time to explain things and are very knowledgeable. They take their business seriously and are very dependable. I trust them with our water.

Called Haskell to evaluate a well issue with iron.
Jack came out and sampled my water and with no sales pressure, suggested a iron filter that would resolve my problem. I bought the system and Jack came back to install the system. It worked, and took care of my iron issues.
Jack called several weeks later and asked how the system was working and if I wanted he to take a look to make sure everythings was working as it should be. I said please do. I live on the island of Vinalhaven and Jack came out, checked the system and water again, confirming everything was fine.
No high pressure sales
