Colorado Springs, CO

Radon in Water

Radon dissolved in groundwater is released into the air whenever water is agitated — showers, dishwashers, washing machines. It is a secondary pathway compared with soil gas, and it only applies to properties on a private well. On acreage around Falcon, Peyton, Black Forest and Calhan, it is worth ruling in or out.

What this service includes

Water sample collection

A sample drawn correctly from the right point in the system — how and where it is taken changes the result.

Laboratory analysis

Waterborne radon is measured in a laboratory, separately from any air measurement.

Interpretation alongside your air result

Water only matters if it explains an air reading a soil-gas system has not resolved. We look at both together.

Treatment options explained

The two established methods are aeration and granular activated carbon, each with different trade-offs.

Who needs this service

  • Properties on a private well rather than municipal water
  • Owners whose air level stays elevated after a soil-gas system is working
  • Rural buyers who want the water tested during an inspection period

When water is worth testing, and when it is not

Soil gas is the dominant pathway in almost every home. Waterborne radon is real but secondary, and it only applies to properties on a private well — municipal supplies are treated and stored in ways that let dissolved radon escape long before the water reaches a tap.

So the sequence matters: test the air first. If the level is elevated, a soil-gas mitigation system addresses it, and in the large majority of cases the number comes down and the question is closed. Water becomes worth investigating when an air result stays high after a working system, on a property drawing from its own well.

That situation is most common on acreage east and north of the city — Falcon, Peyton and the rural parts of El Paso County, where private wells are the norm. Treatment is either aeration, which strips the gas and vents it outside, or granular activated carbon, which adsorbs it. Which one fits depends on the concentration and the household's water use.

FAQ

Radon in Water FAQs

Answers to common questions about this service.

Generally no. Municipal supplies are treated and stored in ways that let dissolved radon escape before the water reaches you. Waterborne radon is a private-well question.

Two established methods. Aeration systems agitate the water and vent the released gas outside before it reaches your taps. Granular activated carbon filtration adsorbs radon from the water. Which suits a property depends on the concentration and the household's water use.

Air first, always. Soil gas is the dominant pathway in almost every home, it is cheaper to measure, and it is what determines whether you need a mitigation system. Water becomes the question when an air result stays high and the soil-gas system does not explain it.
