Common Water Problems in Maryland Homes
Not sure what’s causing stains, odors, or health concerns?
Explore common water issues we see across Maryland and learn how Hague treatment systems can help.
Iron – Brown Stains
Rust-colored stains on sinks, toilets, and laundry are a common sign of iron in your water. Iron can discolor fixtures and leave clothing looking dirty even after washing.
Iron Bacteria – Brown Slime & Softener Issues
If you’re seeing slimy brown buildup and your water softener isn’t working properly, iron bacteria may be the cause. These bacteria can foul plumbing and treatment equipment.
pH Issues – Blue/Green Stains & Copper Leak
Blue or green stains and pinhole leaks in copper pipes often indicate acidic water. Low pH water can slowly corrode plumbing, leading to costly repairs.
Sulfur – Rotten Egg Odor
A strong rotten egg smell usually points to sulfur or hydrogen sulfide in your water. While not always harmful, it makes water unpleasant for drinking, bathing, and cooking
Bacteria – Stomach Distress
Certain bacteria in well water can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and health risks, especially for children and older adults. Testing and proper treatment are critical.
Hard Water – White Scale Buildup
Hard water leaves chalky white residue on faucets, showerheads, dishes, and appliances. Over time, scale buildup reduces efficiency and shortens equipment lifespan.
Chlorine – Chemical Smell & Skin Irritation
Municipal water often contains chlorine, which can cause a chemical taste and odor, dry skin, irritated eyes, and brittle hair after showering.
Nitrates / Nitrites
Common in agricultural areas, nitrates and nitrites can contaminate well water and pose serious health risks—especially for infants and pregnant women.
PFAS – “Forever Chemicals”
PFAS are man-made chemicals linked to long-term health concerns. They persist in water supplies and require advanced filtration to effectively remove.
