Radon in Courtenay Florida Water

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

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and make its way into a home's water. Although most people associate radon with indoor air, it can also be present in well water and other groundwater sources. In Courtenay, where many homeowners in Brevard County rely on groundwater, everyday activities like showering, doing laundry, or running the dishwasher can release radon from water into the air inside your house. That’s why it’s smart to consider both water and air when evaluating radon risks in your home.

Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you won’t notice it by looking at a glass of water. The only reliable way to know what’s in your supply is to test, since radon levels can differ block to block and from well to well. If testing shows elevated radon in your water, choose solutions that match your house’s plumbing and daily water use. Many Courtenay homeowners find a whole-house strategy, treating water where it enters the home, is the most practical way to protect showers, faucets, and appliances throughout the property.
