About Air & Water Quality

Air & Water Quality was established in 1989 to help homeowners resolve water and radon issues and improve their home environments and their lives. We are practical-minded chemists, engineers, and biologists with one thing in common – a customer-focused dedication to resolving your air and water quality concerns. Our goal is to provide the most effective technology available to solve your problem and offer you the highest quality service. We build our systems using the best components available. We are also the exclusive Maine representative of Kinetico, an Ohio-based manufacturer of high-quality water treatment system components. Air & Water Quality serves residential and commercial customers throughout Maine and in southern and eastern New Hampshire. Since 1989 we have installed over 10,000 water and radon treatment systems. We likely have customers in your neighborhood!
