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.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Water testing is essential because it helps identify contaminants and pollutants that could affect your water quality and health. Regular water testing ensures that your home’s water is safe for consumption and helps you choose the best water treatment or water filtration solution for your specific needs. Hague Quality Water of Maryland offers comprehensive water testing services to help you protect your home and family.
Water softeners, whether traditional or compact, improve water quality by removing hardness minerals and iron that can cause scale buildup and staining on appliances, plumbing, and fixtures. This helps extend the lifespan of your appliances, improve water flow, and create softer skin and hair. Hague Quality Water of Maryland offers a range of water treatment solutions tailored to your specific needs.
Water filtration systems remove impurities, such as chemicals, sediment, and harmful contaminants, from your water supply. This not only improves the taste and smell of your water but also makes it safer for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Hague Quality Water of Maryland provides advanced water filtration systems as part of our comprehensive water treatment services.
Traditional water softeners typically offer a larger capacity for treating hard water, making them ideal for bigger households or those with high water consumption. Compact water softeners, on the other hand, are smaller in size but just as effective in treating water, making them perfect for smaller homes or spaces with limited installation room. Both options help improve your home’s water treatment system by reducing hard minerals like calcium and magnesium.
Even with a water treatment system, it is important to continue to test your water to ensure that your home’s water supply is bacteriologically safe and treated effectively. Water testing helps detect changes in your water supply which may get contaminated in flooding or from a break in your supply line. Hague Quality Water of Maryland can help you with testing to achieve clean, safe water through customized testing and treatment solutions.
