When To Test for Radon in Water

While the primary exposure to radon comes from indoor air, radon may also escape from water from washing hands, showering, washing dishes, etc.

Any residence or building that uses a private well should be tested. However, most public water systems have limited radon exposure, and testing is often not required.

Testing may be appropriate if you have public water and your structure has elevated radon levels or distinct changes to your water.

If you have experienced these issues or have other concerns about your water, please contact us to discuss your situation and if testing is necessary.

You should test for radon in your water supply if:

you have well water (or are purchasing a home with well water)
repairs are made to your well
the soil has been disrupted near your well (construction, flooding, etc.)
your indoor air levels of radon are 4 pCi/L or higher
you notice any visible changes to your water (color, smell, taste, etc.)

For more information, you may also view the EPA’s guidelines for testing radon in water . Contact our office to learn more about radon testing for water for your home or business.

Post-Remediation Services and Testing

Should testing for your indoor air or drinking water indicate elevated radon levels, remediation services are necessary to restore them to a healthy level.

We believe testing and remediation services from the same team are a conflict of interest. Therefore, RVA Radon does not provide radon remediation services.

However, we connect you with trusted and reputable remediation companies in the Richmond area. Our testing services include ongoing support throughout the remediation process. We retest and inspect after remediation to ensure the system meets EPA requirements and that the system is successful in reducing radon below the action level.
