Radon in Fern Park Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Radon in the Water Supply of Fern Park Florida Homes

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and find its way into a home's plumbing. Though most people associate radon with air, it can also be present in well water and other sources, releasing into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. In Fern Park and the surrounding Seminole County communities, homeowners who are concerned about indoor air often include water in their checks because water-to-air transfer can affect the air you breathe inside your house.

You usually can't see, taste, or smell radon in water, so testing is the only reliable way to know whether it's in your supply. Levels can differ from street to street, and even between nearby properties, so a local test is important for Fern Park residents. If testing finds elevated radon, choosing a treatment that matches your plumbing and daily water use — and treats the water where it enters the home — is the most effective way to lower exposure throughout your household.
