Radon Mitigation in Augusta, Maine
Protecting Augusta homes and families from radon since 2015
Augusta, Maine's capital city since 1832, sits along the scenic Kennebec River in the heart of Kennebec County. With a population of nearly 19,000 residents, Augusta features a diverse mix of historic government buildings, established residential neighborhoods, and growing suburban developments. The city's location on granite bedrock—common throughout central Maine—means that radon gas can seep through foundations and accumulate to dangerous levels in homes. At Central Maine Radon & Water Mitigation, we've helped countless Augusta homeowners protect their families by installing professional radon mitigation systems. Whether you live near the State House, in the Western Avenue corridor, or in the neighborhoods surrounding Cony High School, our certified technicians understand the unique challenges that Augusta's geology presents.
