Why Raymond, Maine Has Elevated Radon Risk
Raymond's housing stock includes lakefront homes and camps along Sebago Lake's Raymond Cape and Jordan Bay, mid-century ranches in the Route 302 corridor, and newer subdivisions in interior neighborhoods. Many lakefront properties were originally seasonal and have been expanded into year-round homes without radon mitigation provisions. Homes on private wells — the majority in Raymond — should test for water radon as well.
- EPA Zone 1 — highest radon potential in the country
- County average radon level: 2.8 pCi/L (EPA action level is 4.0 pCi/L)
- Approximately 1 in 4 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 Raymond
Raymond has a diverse housing mix: historic farmhouses and 19th-century homes near the village, post-war capes and ranches in the Route 302 area, lakefront cottages and camps along Sebago Lake, and newer Colonial-style homes in residential subdivisions. Converted seasonal camps remain among the highest-risk properties. Most Raymond homes are on private wells and should consider water radon testing alongside any air radon test.
Radon in Raymond Well Water
Many Raymond 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 Raymond 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
