Radon in Lake Mystic Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Radon in the Water Supply of Lake Mystic Florida Homes

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and make its way into a home’s water supply. While many people think of radon as an indoor air problem, it can also be present in well water and other sources, and everyday activities like showering, doing laundry, or running the dishwasher can release radon from water into the air. Homeowners in Lake Mystic often consider both water and air when evaluating radon so they can protect their family and indoor air quality.

Because radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by simply looking at or tasting your tap water. The only dependable way to know whether radon is present in your Lake Mystic home is to test, since concentrations can differ block to block and between nearby properties. If testing shows elevated radon in your water, taking measures that suit your plumbing layout and daily water use—often a whole-house solution—will address the issue at the point where water enters your home.
