Radon in Water

If you have a private well the US EPA recommends testing your drinking water for radon.

Radon gas can also dissolve and accumulate in water from underground sources (called ground water), such as wells. When water that contains radon is used in the home for showering, washing dishes, and cooking, radon gas escapes from the water and goes into the air. It is similar to carbonated soda drinks where carbon dioxide is dissolved in the soda and is released when you open the bottle. Some radon also stays in the water.

Radon is not a concern in water that comes from lakes, rivers, and reservoirs (called surface water), because the radon is released into the air before it ever arrives at your tap.

Connecticut Building Check, LLC provides comprehensive water testing report if requested.  Water quantity and water quality are not tested unless explicitly contracted-for.
