Dorchester County's Water & Your Home

Municipal water systems in places like Summerville and North Charleston provide safe, treated water, but it often carries minerals and chlorine that affect taste and cause scale. In rural parts of the county, private wells can bring additional challenges like iron, sulfur, sediment, or bacteria.At Wadford Water Works, we have solutions for both. As Dorchester County’s exclusive Hague dealer, we install systems that improve taste, protect plumbing and appliances, and give homeowners water they can feel confident in.

"Very Satisfied in giving them 5 stars"

After explaining my problem with a filtration system, I was giventhe time and curtesy of their owner. The cost to come out was very reasonable and was told that they would work with me within my budget.  He seemed to care very much and was very knowledgeable with his assessments. I am very satisfied in giving them 5 stars, all companies should give customer service this good, and it would make all experiences much easier.

FAQ: Dorchester County Water Questions

Here are some of the mot commonly asked questions about water filtration systems from our customers

Is Dorchester County tap water safe to drink without extra filtration?

Yes. Municipal systems in Summerville and North Charleston meet safety standards, but many homeowners notice chlorine taste, odor, or cloudy water. Filtration or reverse osmosis makes it taste better, protects your plumbing, and gives you added peace of mind.

What are the most common well water problems in Dorchester County?

Private wells in St. George, Ridgeville, and Harleyville often have iron that causes stains, sulfur that smells like rotten eggs, and sediment that leaves water cloudy. Bacteria can also be present if wells are not tested regularly. We provide testing and install filters built to solve these specific issues.

How hard is Dorchester County water and do I need a softener?

In Dorchester County, water hardness tends to range from moderately hard to hard, depending on your water source. Municipal water (in Summerville, Ladson, etc.) is often at the lower end of that range. Private wells in rural areas often fall at or above the higher end. Hard water creates cloudy spots on dishes, white scale on faucets, and buildup in appliances. A Hague water softener can remove those minerals, protect your plumbing, and leave water that feels better on skin and hair. Schedule your Dorchester County water test and analysis today to find out exactly where your water falls on the hardness scale.

Do I need to test my well water in Dorchester County?

Yes. Private wells are unregulated, which means homeowners are responsible for testing. We recommend testing every year and anytime you notice a change in taste, smell, or clarity. Our professional water analysis shows you exactly what is in your water and how to fix it.

What filtration system works best for Dorchester County homes?

It depends on whether your home is on municipal water or a private well. City water often benefits from whole-home carbon filtration and reverse osmosis for drinking water. Wells usually need iron or sulfur filters, sometimes combined with disinfection. The best way to know is to start with a professional water test so we can match the right system to your home.
