Radon in Curtis Mill Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Radon in the Water Supply of Curtis Mill Florida Homes

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and enter a home’s water supply. Although most people think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can come from well water or other sources and be released into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. In Curtis Mill households that use groundwater, it’s common to consider both water and air when evaluating radon exposure, since everyday water use can move radon from the plumbing into the rooms you live in.

Because radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by sampling a glass from the tap. The only way to know what’s in your water is to test, as levels can differ block to block and from house to house. If testing in a Curtis Mill home shows elevated radon in the water, it makes sense to choose solutions that match your plumbing layout and household water habits. Treating water where it enters the house—rather than at a single tap—helps protect everyone and every appliance in your home.
