Radon in Westgate Florida Water

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

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and make its way into a home's plumbing. While most people think of radon as an air problem, it can be present in well water or other sources and become airborne when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. Westgate homeowners often consider both water and indoor air when checking for radon, especially in our Palm Beach County area where hard water and periodic service disruptions can affect household systems.

Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by sampling a glass from the tap—testing is the only dependable way to know what’s in your water. Levels can differ from one block to the next across Westgate neighborhoods like Westgate-Belvedere Homes or Lake Belvedere Estates, so testing your own home is important. If elevated radon is found, taking measures that suit your plumbing layout and daily water use—ideally at the point where water enters the house—helps protect everyone who lives there.
