Radon Eliminated in Worthington, MN

A homeowner from Worthington, MN, was chatting with her neighbor one day when she learned that they had just had their home tested for radon gas. She didn't know much about the dangers of radon gas but figured it would be worth testing her home, just to be on the safe side. When the homeowner went to look for radon specialists in her area, she quickly found our website. She was impressed with other radon systems we had installed in her area and decided to sign up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Ryan P, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. 

When Ryan arrived at the home, he began the process by placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the home and then carried on with his inspection of the home. When Ryan finished, he met with the homeowner. He began by explaining a bit more about what radon is. Radon is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas that is emitted from the breakdown of the soil around your home's foundation. It creeps into your home through small holes or cracks in the foundation and silently wreaks havoc on lung tissue. Ryan went on to say that radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, claiming 21,000 lives each year in the United States. Going back to the test, Ryan explained to the homeowner that the purpose of this test was to record radon levels in the house over 48 hours, delivering an average result when the test concluded. Ryan went on to say that, should the results come back higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly recommend the installation of a radon mitigation system. Ryan explained that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. He finished by saying that, when installed by an experienced professional, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health safety agencies. The homeowner liked Ryan's comprehensive approach and solution, and decided to sign on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dakota, and his team were able to seamlessly place the system in the home. Now, our customer is thrilled to know that he no longer has to worry about dangerous radon gas! 

 

High Radon Levels Mitigated in Richfield, MN

A homeowner from Richfield, MN, had just learned of the dangers that radon gas can pose to a household. Not wanting the invisible threat to be circulating through her home, she began looking for a contractor offering radon mitigation MN. When she found our website, she was impressed with our images of radon gas mitigation system we had installed in her area and decided to sign up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kyle P, was scheduled to stop out at the home. 

When Kyle arrived, he began his appointment by placing continuous radon monitoring tests in the basement of the home. This test aims to record radon levels over a period of time, delivering the average radon level in the home. Kyle explained that if the test came back with a score higher than 4 pCi/L, he would recommend the installation of a radon mitigation system. Kyle went on to say that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. When installed by an experienced radon specialist, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to minimal levels recommended by the EPA. The homeowner liked the sound of Kyle's plan and vowed to wait until the results returned to make a choice. When the results returned sometime later, the levels were way above the recommended 4 pCi/L, so the homeowner called Kyle to schedule a date for the system to be installed. 

Eventually, the day of the project rolled around. Our Foreman, Geno M, was able to lead his team through the installation of the system. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing her family is inhaling only the cleanest air possible.

Dangerous Radon Gas Mitigated from Coon Rapids, MN, Home

A Coon Rapids, MN,  homeowner had recently learned about the dangers of radon gas in a household. He was looking to have his home tested, so he decided to look for Minnesota radon specialists and quickly found American Waterworks. Impressed with our pictures of radon mitigation systems we had installed in his area, he decided to claim his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dave S, was headed out to the home. When Dave arrived, the first part of his inspection included placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. This test works to record the levels of radon in the home over 48 hours, delivering an average result at the end. After Dave concluded his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner. Dave explained that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking action at any level higher than 4 pCi/L, and that if the test returned higher than that, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider installing a radon mitigation system. Dave went on to say that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. When the process is completed by an experienced professional, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was pleased with Dave's evaluation and transparency about the levels in the home and ultimately decided to think about the problem and make a decision when the results returned. 48 hours later, Dave returned to the home to collect the results of the test. After discovering the levels in the home were much higher than the recommended levels, the homeowner decided to proceed with the project. 

A month later, our Foreman, Dakota M, and his Co-Foreman, Mauro R, were out at the home installing the system. Now that the project is complete, our homeowner is thrilled to know that his home is circulating the cleanest air!
