Radon in Your Water: A Risk You Can’t Ignore

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can be found throughout the United States in varying concentrations. If you’re living in an area with high radon levels, you’ll want to test your water as soon as possible because radon in water can be quite dangerous to your health. This article will help you understand what radon is, how it affects your health, and how to find out if your water has high radon levels so that you can take the steps to eliminate the risk to your health from consuming the water from your faucet or well.

What Is Radon?

Radon is an odorless, colorless radioactive gas. While it occurs naturally throughout our planet, levels are higher indoors, where buildings tend to create an ideal environment for radon accumulation. If high concentrations of radon are left undetected, there is a risk that you or a loved one could develop lung cancer from prolonged exposure. This is why it’s important to get your water tested for radon if you live in an area prone to higher levels of contamination.

How To Detect Radon In Your Water Supply?

Unfortunately, radon has no color, taste, or smell, making it very complicated to detect by simply looking at or tasting your water. Levels of radon can vary widely from place to place. To lower your risk of radon exposure, you should test your home for radon and take steps to reduce it if high levels are found. Radon can be found naturally in any region and should be monitored by a certified team to test for it. 

What Should I Do If I Find Radon In My Water?

It is recommended that you test your water system for chemicals and contaminants frequently. However, if you suspect that your water contains dangerous radon levels, you should get in touch with a team of professionals immediately! Contact your trusted radon mitigation experts to ensure your water is completely safe for use.

Josh and the other technicians at Water Doctor are real experts and extremely knowledgeable. Even better, for the one obscure piece of equipment I had they had little experience with, they admitted they would have to check with someone else in the company before rending an opinion. These guys are honest, smart, ethical and have fair pricing. They won’t sell

The guys from Water Dr. couldn’t have been any better to deal with over the years. We sold our house and they did our least service/tune up. Years of great service on our well. Fairly priced. Just nice guys to do business with. If my new house had a well they would be my guys.
