Why Kennebec County Has High Radon
Local Geology
Kennebec County sits on some of the most uranium-rich granite bedrock in the Northeast. Decay produces radon that migrates straight up into basements.
Housing Stock
Older mill-town housing stock with stone-and-mortar foundations, plus rapidly growing newer subdivisions on rural lots โ both at high risk.
Well Water
Most homes outside city limits use private wells. Water radon above 4,000 pCi/L is common; aeration treatment is frequently needed alongside air mitigation.
Climate Effect
Maine's long heating season creates a strong stack effect that pulls radon out of the soil and into homes โ winter readings in Kennebec County typically run 30โ50% higher than summer.
