Radon Mitigation in Ellsworth, Maine
Protecting Ellsworth homes and families from radon since 2015
Ellsworth is the commercial and service hub of Hancock County — a city of about 8,400 situated at the head of the Union River, 28 miles from Bar Harbor. The city serves as the gateway to Acadia National Park and the Downeast coast, with strong year-round retail, healthcare, and government services. Ellsworth's housing stock ranges from 19th-century mill-town homes along the Union River to suburban developments along the Route 1 and Route 3 corridors. Hancock County is EPA Radon Zone 2, and Ellsworth's bedrock geology — granite and schist typical of the Downeast region — creates radon risk throughout the community. Central Maine Radon & Water Mitigation provides professional radon mitigation for Ellsworth homes and businesses.

Radon Conditions in Ellsworth
Ellsworth's older neighborhoods near High Street, the city's historic commercial district, and the Union River waterfront include many homes built before 1960 with block and poured concrete basements. Newer suburban developments on the Route 1A and Route 179 corridors have slab and crawlspace foundations that can also accumulate radon. Many rural properties surrounding the city rely on private wells, and waterborne radon is a secondary consideration for those homes.
