Radon in Vanderbilt Park Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Radon in the Water Supply of Vanderbilt Park Florida Homes

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and reach a home’s water supply. While people often think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can be present in well water or other sources and be released into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or wash clothes. Vanderbilt Park homeowners — whether on municipal water or a private well — regularly consider both air and water testing because radon can move from water into the air you breathe during everyday tasks.

Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by sight or taste in a glass of water. The only way to know your household’s levels is to test, since concentrations can differ block to block and depending on whether your property uses well water or hookups to a nearby utility. If tests in your Vanderbilt Park home show elevated radon in the water, taking action at the point where water enters the house is a practical next step to lower exposure for everyone inside.
