Radon in Indialantic Florida Water

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

Radon is a natural radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and enter a home's water supply. Though people usually think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can also be present in well water and occasionally other sources; when you shower, do laundry, or run the dishwasher, radon in the water can be released into the air. Indialantic homeowners often consider testing both water and indoor air when evaluating radon, especially on barrier-island properties where plumbing and water use patterns can differ from mainland homes.

Because radon has no taste, odor, or color, you can't detect it by sight or smell in a glass of water. The only reliable way to know whether your household water contains radon is to test, since levels can vary block by block and between neighboring houses in Brevard County. If testing finds elevated radon in your water, take measures that match your home's plumbing layout and daily water use—whether you're in SOFA District, Ocean Side Village, or another Indialantic neighborhood—so the treatment works for your whole household.
