About Keystone Well Water
Keystone Well Water is a free referral service for Pennsylvania homeowners on private wells, anchored on the Lancaster, York, and Berks corridor and covering the state. We publish plain-language, primary-source explanations of what well test results mean, and we connect homeowners who want treatment with independent licensed local contractors.
Who operates this site
Keystone Well Water is operated by Compass Camper LLC, an Oregon-registered marketing company doing business as Compass Lead Group. We are not a water treatment contractor and do not perform well water testing, treatment installation, or service work. Every job that comes through this site is performed by an independent licensed professional.
Questions reach us at [email protected], Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM Eastern.
How the service works
We operate this website to connect Pennsylvania well owners with licensed, insured water treatment contractors. When you submit a quote request, your information is forwarded to an independent local contractor who can review your water test, quote the work, and schedule it. You contract with that professional directly. The service is free for homeowners; the contractor pays us a referral fee that never increases your price, explained in full at How We Make Money.
What we ask of the contractors we send you to
- Hold a current Pennsylvania home improvement contractor registration with the Office of Attorney General where the law requires it, which you can confirm yourself in the official registration search
- Carry current general liability insurance
- Offer written workmanship warranties on completed work
- Provide transparent, itemized written estimates before performing any work
These are objective requirements, not an endorsement. We do not rank, certify, or evaluate contractors, and we encourage every homeowner to verify registration and insurance directly before signing anything.
Why the site reads like a field guide
Pennsylvania has more than 1 million private wells and no statewide construction or water quality standards for them, so well owners get no official next-step instructions when a test comes back bad. Everything we publish is built for that moment, cited to Penn State Extension, the Pennsylvania DEP, and USGS, starting with the Pennsylvania well test guide.
