Radon Mitigation in Portland, Maine
Protecting Portland homes and families from radon since 2015
Portland is Maine's largest city and cultural epicenter, home to over 68,000 residents in a vibrant urban environment on Casco Bay. From the cobblestone streets of the Old Port to the Victorian homes of the West End, Portland's diverse neighborhoods span centuries of architecture and construction methods. This variety means radon challenges differ significantly from block to block—a Victorian brownstone near Congress Street faces different mitigation needs than a mid-century ranch in Deering Center or a modern condo in Bayside. Central Maine Radon & Water Mitigation has extensive experience serving Portland's unique housing stock. Our certified technicians understand how to design mitigation systems that work effectively whether you're in a historic building, a multi-family property, or a contemporary development.
