Radon in Olympia Heights Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Radon in the Water Supply of Olympia Heights Florida Homes

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and make its way into a home's plumbing. While many people think of radon as an indoor air issue, it can also come from water sources and be released into the air when you shower, run the washing machine, or do dishes. In Olympia Heights and nearby Miami-Dade County neighborhoods, homeowners often consider both water and indoor air when evaluating radon because everyday water use is a common pathway for the gas to enter living spaces.

Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by sampling a glass from your tap — testing is the only reliable way to know what’s in your water. Levels can vary from block to block, so local testing around Olympia Heights, Westchester and Flagami is the best way to see whether your household needs treatment. If tests indicate elevated radon in the water, choosing a remediation that fits your plumbing layout and daily water habits is important; treating water at the point it enters the home gives the broadest protection.
