Why this comes up in West Amwell Township

Almost nowhere in West Amwell is inside a public supply area. A well draws from diabase on the ridge or Newark Basin sediment below it, depending which end of the township the property is on.

West Amwell Township is the southernmost township in Hunterdon County, running from the Delaware at Lambertville up onto the western end of the Sourland ridge, and that shapes what a system here has to be designed around.

Getting the work done in West Amwell Township

What a certified crew will do

Aeration strips radon out of the water in a vented tank before it reaches the taps, then discharges it outdoors. It is the treatment the EPA points to for high waterborne radon, it needs a repressurisation pump and annual servicing, and it belongs at the point of entry — treating one bathroom does nothing for the rest of the house.

What it costs comes down to the foundation, the number of suction points, and where the pipe can run.
