Radon in Geneva Florida Water

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

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and make its way into a home’s water. While people often think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can also be present in well water or other sources and be released into the air when you shower, do laundry, or run the dishwasher. In Geneva and across Seminole County it’s common for homeowners to consider both water and air when evaluating radon because routine water use can transfer the gas into the spaces where you and your family breathe.

Because radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by looking at a glass or noticing a change in water quality. The only dependable way to know whether your Geneva home’s water contains elevated radon levels is to test, since concentrations can vary street to street and between neighboring properties. If testing shows higher radon in your water, it’s wise to select treatment that suits your plumbing and daily water use; treating at the point the water enters the house provides whole-home protection rather than fixing just one tap.
