Radon in Belair Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Radon in the Water Supply of Belair Florida Homes

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and make its way into a home’s water supply. Although people usually think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can be present in well water and sometimes other sources, then be released into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. In Belair, homeowners who are worried about radon often consider testing both their water and indoor air because activities that use water can send radon into the air you breathe.

Radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, so you won’t detect it by eye or by sampling a glass. The only reliable way to know what’s in your household supply is to test, since levels can differ markedly from one property to another. If testing in a Belair home shows elevated radon in the plumbing, it’s smart to pick a mitigation plan that fits your home’s layout and daily water use. Treating water where it enters the house provides protection for every faucet, shower and appliance.
