Water System Radon Mitigation – A Must When Radon is Present on Your Property

January 25, 2025      

At The Radon Guys, we understand that radon in water is a serious concern for homeowners—especially when it comes to safeguarding your family’s health. If you’ve recently tested your water and found elevated radon levels, you might be wondering, “Can a radon water mitigation system be installed in my existing home?” The short answer is YES!

Why Radon in Water Is a Concern

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into both the air and water supply. While it’s more commonly associated with indoor air quality, radon in water can also pose significant health risks when ingested or inhaled during water use. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels has been linked to an increased risk of lung cancer and stomach cancer.

Can You Install a Radon Mitigation System in an Older Home?

Absolutely! Installing a radon water mitigation system in an existing home is a highly effective way to reduce radon exposure. Whether you’re living in an older home or a more recently built one, we can implement a system that will safely remove radon from your water supply.

How Does Radon Water Mitigation Work?

Radon water mitigation systems work by removing radon gas from your water before it enters your home. The two most common methods are:

1. Aeration System: This system introduces air into the water supply, causing the radon gas to separate from the water. The gas is then vented outside, ensuring it doesn’t enter your home.
2. Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Filtration: In this method, the water passes through a filtration system that absorbs radon. This option is commonly used for smaller water supplies, like wells.

Both systems are effective in reducing radon levels in your water and can be installed in most existing homes.

What to Expect During the Installation Process

The installation of a radon water mitigation system typically involves the following steps:

• Initial Assessment: Our team will evaluate your water source, radon levels, and the layout of your home to determine the best system for your needs.
• System Installation: We’ll professionally install the chosen system, ensuring it’s set up to remove radon without impacting your water pressure or quality.
• Post-Installation Testing: After installation, we’ll conduct tests to confirm that the radon levels in your water are reduced to safe levels.

Will It Be Disruptive to My Home?

We know that home projects can sometimes be disruptive, but rest assured that radon mitigation installations are minimally invasive. Our expert team will work quickly and efficiently to install your system with minimal disruption to your daily life.
