Radon in Medart Florida Water

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

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and reach a home’s plumbing. Though most people think of radon as an air concern, it can also be present in well water or other water sources and be released into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. Homeowners in Medart often consider both water and indoor air when checking for radon because activities that use water can send dissolved radon into the air you breathe.

Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by looking at your tap water—testing is the only reliable way to know what’s in your supply. Levels can vary from parcel to parcel, so testing is the recommended first step for Medart residents concerned about radon. If tests show elevated radon in your water, a solution tailored to your plumbing layout and household water use is the next move; treating the water where it enters the house treats every faucet and appliance downstream.
