Why Lovell, Maine Has Elevated Radon Risk
Lovell's properties are heavily oriented toward Kezar Lake — a significant portion are lakefront camps and cottages, many originally seasonal and now converted to year-round use. Center Lovell village has more traditional residential properties. The rocky, granite-dominated terrain throughout town creates high radon potential regardless of home type. Private wells are universal, and Oxford County well water commonly contains elevated radon.
- EPA Zone 1 — highest radon potential in the country
- County average radon level: 3.9 pCi/L (EPA action level is 4.0 pCi/L)
- Approximately 1 in 3 homes in this zone test above the EPA action level
- Radon is the #2 cause of lung cancer in the U.S. — responsible for ~21,000 deaths per year
- Most homes can be effectively mitigated for $900–$1,500 with a professionally installed system
Housing and Foundation Types in Lovell
Lovell's housing is dominated by lakefront camps and cottages on Kezar Lake at varying stages of renovation, from seasonal-only to full-time year-round homes. Center Lovell village has a small stock of traditional cape and colonial homes. Crawlspaces are very common in lakefront properties, and many older camps have stone or minimal foundations. Sub-slab and sub-membrane depressurization systems both work well for Lovell's varied foundation types.
Radon in Lovell Well Water
Many Lovell homes are on private wells. Radon dissolved in well water is released into indoor air when water is used — in showers, dishwashers, washing machines, and faucets. This contributes directly to indoor air radon levels and is an exposure pathway that many homeowners overlook entirely.
We recommend that any Lovell home on a private well be tested for water radon alongside air radon. If water levels are elevated, we install aeration treatment systems that remove radon before it enters your home's plumbing. Learn more: Radon in Well Water — How It Works and How to Fix It
