Radon in Isle of Normandy Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Radon in the Water Supply of Isle of Normandy Florida Homes

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and reach a home’s water supply. While most people think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can also be present in well water and, less commonly, other sources — and when water is used, radon can off-gas into the air. In Isle of Normandy houses, whether you’re running a shower after golf at Normandy Shores or doing laundry on a humid Miami-Dade afternoon, radon in water can be one reason homeowners evaluate both water and indoor air when addressing radon.

Radon in water doesn’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of your tap water, so you won’t detect it by eye or palate. The only reliable way to know what’s in your home’s water is to test, since levels can differ from block to block around Isle of Normandy and the greater Miami Beach area. If testing shows elevated radon, consider steps that match your plumbing layout and everyday water use; treating the water where it enters the home provides protection for showers, faucets, and appliances throughout the house.
