Business Spotlight: A-Z Water Systems

Clean water is a fundamental element of our existence and essential to our health and well being. Maintaining the purity of the water we drink, shower, and cook with through proper filtration has been proven to have a significant impact on our daily lives.

A-Z Water Systems leads the way in the Lakes Region of Maine in assisting customers in ensuring that their water is the cleanest and safest in can be. With locations in both Standish and Greene, A-Z is a full-service water and radon air company and offers the latest technology, innovation, equipment, and services required to keep the water we drink and air that we breathe as pure as possible. 

“We help our customers with anything they may need, from drilling a new well, to ‘out of water’ calls, to filtering the water that they drink & bathe in to be sure it is contaminant-free and safe for them and their families,” said A-Z owner Carl Levesque.   

A-Z offers well drilling; hydrofracking; water pump installation and service; water tank installation and service; water testing; and water filtration installations and service. They provide annual service on all types of filtration systems to keep them in tip top shape; conduct Radon air testing; identify Radon air and offer mitigation; answer out of water calls; perform well inspections; well chlorination; and work closely with Realtors to be sure their closings are not held up because of any water issues. 

According to Levesque, A-Z services quite a wide area in the state.

“We work in Cumberland, Androscoggin, York, Lincoln, Franklin, Oxford, Kennebec, Sagadahoc, Waldo and Somerset counties,” he said. “We are one of the few companies in the state that does everything from drilling the well all the way down to the water filtration and everything in between. We also specialize in Radon Air Testing & Mitigation, so, one call really does do it all.”

The most significant aspect of the business remains water filtration and water pump replacement and repair,” Levesque said.

“Our prices are extremely fair and competitive,” he said. “We also always make sure the customer knows exactly what they are getting and what it's going to cost ahead of time. We are a local company that prides ourselves in our knowledgeable team and customer service. Integrity is important to us and our customers always come first.

Levesque and his wife, Heidi, founded A-Z Water Systems from scratch in 2010 and have been in business locally for almost 11 years. Since then, this business has grown by leaps and bounds. They have expanded by purchasing Clearwater Well Drilling of Hartland, along with acquiring Alpha Water Systems of Sebago and Affordable Water Treatment & Maine Radon of Greene. Carl Levesque is a master well driller and has been in the well drilling and water business for 35 years.

A-Z now employs 12 fulltime workers and Levesque says the best aspect of the business is helping customers resolve their water issues.

“Our customers often tell us how knowledgeable and efficient our technicians are in the field and how extremely helpful our office staff is. In today's market, it's not always easy to get someone to answer the phone or return your calls, so we take a ton of pride in having someone in our office that is solely dedicated to answering our phones and returning calls,” Levesque said. “We also have extremely high Google and Facebook ratings and get thank-you calls and letters all the time.”

To ensure their staff are able to adapt to discern and resolve issues, A-Z technicians obtain all required licenses and keep up with continuing education requirements.

“The State of Maine Well Driller's Commission requires us to have a Master Well Drillers License and a Master Pump Installers License which multiple people in our company have,” Levesque said. “The State of Maine Department of Professional & Financial Regulation Office of Professional & Occupational Regulation Plumbers Examining Board requires us to have a Master Plumbers License which we have. The State of Maine Department of Health & Human Services Radiation Control Program requires us to have Radon Air & Water Mitigation Licenses which we have multiples of in our company. We also have employee's that are apprentices and journeymen working toward getting more of these licenses.”
