Greco & Haines: Solving your Radon in Water Problems
Around 400,000 households in the state of Connecticut rely on well water. If your home is included in that number, it’s important that you have your well water tested for radon and, if any is present in your water, have it removed quickly.
Radon gas in your home is a serious concern. When it is present in the water, it can enter the air, causing you and your family to breathe it in. Breathing in radon is a leading cause of lung cancer. You can also end up drinking radon through the water, which can lead to other cancers.
At Greco & Haines, we can provide you with a solution to remove the radon from the water before you drink it. Call us today for a free evaluation. Our experienced and knowledgeable team will give you the peace of mind of knowing your water is free from radon, or we can help you treat the water if there is any radon present.
Start with Radon Testing
A number of contaminants can leach into your well water, becoming a risk to you and your family’s health. One of these contaminants is radon gas, which is naturally found in ground water.
When you have a well, it’s entirely up to you to make sure your water is safe for drinking. At first, you should get your water tested every year. After five years with no problems, you can switch to testing every five years. Nonetheless, it’s important to continue testing over time, since the conditions of ground water can change. Just because you had a low radon amount at one point doesn’t mean it will stay that way.
It is particularly beneficial to test for radon and treat any problems when you are buying or selling a home. Your new home might have not have been tested for radon yet or in a long time. If you’re selling your home, your knowledge of the home’s radon levels (and our solutions for it!) can be a selling point.
At Greco & Haines, we can test your well water for radon gas and other harmful contaminants. As a company, we care that your water is safe. Call us at 1-800-922-2958 or contact us through our website when you’re ready to have your water tested and we’ll send a qualified member of our team right away!
Removing Radon from the Water
If it is determined that your water has levels of radon in it, or even if you want to prevent radon from being a problem in the future, our well water installation and service company offers a solution to remove radon from your water, giving your household clean and safe water.
The Environmental Protection Agency lists aeration as the best method currently available for dealing with radon. Aeration is a point-of-entry treatment that prevents the radon from coming into your home, instead of dealing with it after the fact. Our company offers an aeration unit we can install for your home to remove radon from your well water. Aeration removes other volatile organic compounds in addition to radon, so you can have healthier, cleaner water and better peace of mind.
When you rely on Greco & Haines for a radon problem, we can use our well water installation experience to install a highly-effective Bubble-Up unit that will aerate your well water. This process causes the radon gas to turn into bubbles and leave the water so that the water that runs to your taps will be free of radon and other harmful substances.
This machine includes a pressure gauge, a digital flow meter, water alarm valves, and other important features for keeping your well water protected. Contact our customer service staff if you would like to find out more.
