Radon Mitigation in Brewer, Maine
Protecting Brewer homes and families from radon since 2015
Brewer is a densely residential city of nearly 9,500 directly across the Penobscot River from Bangor — connected by the Veterans Memorial Bridge and sharing much of the Bangor-Brewer metro area's economic activity. The city has a mix of older working-class neighborhoods near the river, mid-century residential streets, and newer suburban developments toward South Brewer and Wilson Street. Penobscot County sits in EPA Radon Zone 1, the highest risk classification, and Brewer homes have consistent radon risk across all neighborhoods due to the region's bedrock geology. Central Maine Radon & Water Mitigation regularly serves Brewer homeowners with professional NRPP-certified mitigation systems.

Radon Conditions in Brewer
Brewer's older neighborhoods near Chamberlain Street, the riverfront, and the blocks close to downtown Bangor include many post-war homes with concrete block or poured concrete basements. The Wilson Street corridor and South Brewer developments include slab-on-grade construction and crawlspaces, which also benefit from mitigation when radon is elevated. Brewer is on municipal water, so waterborne radon is not a common concern.

Frequently Asked Questions About Radon in Brewer
How common is elevated radon in Brewer?
Brewer is in Penobscot County, which is EPA Radon Zone 1 — the highest risk category. Testing across the Bangor-Brewer area shows elevated levels in a significant percentage of homes, particularly those with full basements.

Does radon affect newer homes in Brewer too?
Yes. Newer homes can have elevated radon depending on foundation type and construction. Slab-on-grade and crawlspace foundations are not immune. Radon risk comes from the geology beneath the home, not the age of the building.
