Weekly Home Tip - Did You Know?
Radon doesn’t just come from soil— in some homes it can also enter through your water supply, especially if you use well water. When water containing radon is used for showering, laundry, and cooking, the gas can be released into the air and contribute to your indoor radon level. Testing just the air doesn’t catch this source unless you specifically test your water too.
💧 Extra Tip: If you rely on a private well, ask about radon in water testing—it’s different from air testing but can matter for total household exposure.
Why this matters:
✔️ Most people think radon only comes from the ground under the house—but water can be a contributor too.
✔️ Showering and household water use can release radon into the indoor air.
✔️ Testing both air and water gives you a fuller picture of your radon risk.
