Radon in Hyde Park Florida Water

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

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and reach your home's water supply. Though many people think of radon as an indoor air issue, it can also be present in well water and, less commonly, other sources that feed household plumbing. When you run a shower, use the washing machine, or wash dishes, radon dissolved in water can be released into the air you breathe — so homeowners in Hyde Park often consider both water and indoor air when addressing radon concerns.

Because radon in water has no taste, odor, or color, you can't identify it by tasting or looking at a glass of water. The only dependable way to know what's in your home's supply is to test, since levels can differ from property to property even within the same area. If testing shows elevated radon in your water, take steps that suit your Hyde Park home's plumbing layout and daily water use; a whole-house strategy treats incoming water at the point it enters the house and helps protect every faucet and appliance.
