Radon in North Pompano Beach Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Radon in the Water Supply of North Pompano Beach Florida Homes

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and reach a household’s water supply. Although most people think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can come from water sources as well and be released into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. In North Pompano Beach homes—where municipal water is typically hard—any activity that sprays or heats water can send radon from the water into the air, so homeowners often consider both water and air when addressing radon.

Radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, so you won’t notice it in a glass or at the tap. The only dependable way to know what’s in your plumbing is to test, since levels can differ block by block and between neighboring houses. If testing shows elevated radon in your water, choosing a response that fits your North Pompano Beach property and daily water use is important—whether you live near the Pompano Beach Pier, in Cypress Bend, or another local neighborhood. A whole-house solution treats water where it enters the home, protecting every faucet and showerhead from that point forward.
