Radon in Port Sewall Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Radon in the Water Supply of Port Sewall Florida Homes

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and make its way into a household water supply. While many people think of radon as an indoor air problem, it can also be present in well water and, less often, other local sources; when you run a shower, wash dishes, or do laundry, radon may be released from water into the air of your home. In Port Sewall and across Martin County, homeowners who are concerned about radon often consider both water and air testing as they evaluate how to protect their families.

Radon in water gives no taste, smell, or color, so you can’t detect it by eye or by sampling a glass. The only dependable way to know whether your home’s water contains elevated radon is to test, since levels can differ from one property to the next — even within neighborhoods like Port Sewall and nearby St. Lucie River communities. If testing shows elevated radon, it’s sensible to choose steps that match your plumbing layout and daily water use; treating water at the point it enters your Port Sewall home provides protection for every faucet, shower and appliance.
