Brown well water, step one: stop drinking it, then check where the color is coming from.
Brown water usually points to iron, sediment, tannins, or plumbing. If it shows up after heavy rain, treat it as a contamination warning and get the water tested right away. We start by running a cold tap, checking hot vs cold, and checking more than one fixture.
If you’re in Bullhead City, Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley or Laughlin and want a plumber to inspect the pump, tank, or lines, we’re available 24/7. Read the full guide or call us to schedule an inspection. Have you seen brown water after a storm? Tell us where and what you tried.
