Radon in Wausau Florida Water

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

Radon is a naturally formed radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and reach a home’s plumbing. Although many people associate radon with indoor air, it can also be present in well water or other local sources, and everyday tasks like showering, washing clothes, or running the dishwasher can release radon from water into the air. Homeowners in Wausau often consider both water and air when addressing radon because treating one can help protect the other.

Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by sight or flavor — testing is the only reliable way to know what’s in your water. Levels can differ from lot to lot, so Wausau residents should test their own supply rather than rely on neighbors’ results. If tests indicate elevated radon in your water, selecting treatments that match your home’s plumbing and daily water use is important; a whole-house solution treats water at the point it enters your Wausau home for consistent protection throughout.
