Radon in Water Testing
Detect hidden radon gas in your well water — Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia. While radon is best known as a hazardous gas that seeps through foundations, it can also dissolve into groundwater and enter your home through your well water supply. When that water is used for drinking, showering, or cooking, radon gas can be released into the air — posing serious long-term health risks. Our certified inspectors provide EPA-compliant testing to identify radon levels in your home’s water and recommend next steps for mitigation if needed.
Service Overview
SureSight Property Consultants offers Radon in Water Testing for homeowners and buyers throughout Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas formed by the decay of uranium in soil and rock. Homes with private wells are especially vulnerable because radon can dissolve directly into groundwater before entering your plumbing system.
Why Radon in Water Testing Is Important
When well water is aerated — like when you take a shower or use the dishwasher — radon escapes into your indoor air. Waterborne radon can contribute significantly to indoor radon exposure and increase the risk of lung cancer and stomach cancer with prolonged exposure.
Testing is particularly important if:
- You rely on a private well for your household water supply.
- Your home already shows elevated indoor radon levels.
- You live in a region with granite, shale, or uranium-rich soil (common throughout Maryland and Northern VA).
- You’re buying, selling, or refinancing a property that requires environmental testing.
What this helps you do
Testing provides measurable data so you can understand exposure risk and determine whether mitigation is recommended.
What Our Radon in Water Test Includes
Our Radon in Water Testing follows EPA and state protocols for precision and reliability. Each sample is collected by a certified inspector using proper handling and preservation techniques to prevent gas loss during transport.
Testing Includes
- Water Sampling – Collection of water from the primary tap or well system.
- Sealed Container Transport – Samples are air-tight sealed to prevent contamination.
- Laboratory Analysis – EPA-certified lab measures radon concentration (pCi/L).
- Digital Report – Includes lab results, interpretation, and recommended actions.
Turnaround Time
Results are typically available within 3–5 business days after lab receipt.
Health & Safety Standards
The EPA currently recommends corrective action if radon levels in water exceed 4,000 pCi/L and/or contribute to elevated indoor air radon concentrations above 4.0 pCi/L. Even lower levels can warrant monitoring or mitigation in combination with other environmental factors. Our inspectors interpret results clearly, so you’ll understand what actions — if any — are needed for your home’s safety.
