Radon in Westview Florida Water

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

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and make its way into your home’s water. Although people often think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can also come from well water and, less commonly, other sources. Everyday activities like showering, washing clothes or running the dishwasher can release radon from water into the air, so homeowners in Westview often consider testing and treating both water and indoor air when they’re addressing radon.

Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by looking at or tasting your water. Testing is the only reliable way to know whether radon is present, and levels can differ from one Westview neighborhood to the next—especially where some homes are on municipal supply and others on private wells. If testing shows elevated radon in your water, selecting treatment that fits your plumbing and household water use is important; many homeowners find a whole-house solution best because it treats water as it enters the property.
