High Radon Levels in Shakopee, MN Mitigated

A homeowner in Shakopee, MN, recently found a social media post that discusses the dangerous health risks of radon. The homeowner learned that radon is a gas that is produced as the soil decays, which makes it completely unavoidable for homeowners. The difficult thing about radon is that we cannot smell, touch, see, hear, or taste it, making it undetectable unless using a radon testing kit. Concerned that his family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes, the homeowner began searching for radon mitigation in the area and contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Gary S., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. Gary began the inspection by playing our continuous radon monitoring test, which would be placed at the lowest level of the home. Gary explained that this test would need to run for at least 48 hours so that it can accurately detect the radon levels in the home. He also stated that even if the results were not at dangerous levels, it was always good to test the radon levels every 2-5 years. Alongside this, Gary noticed that the moisture levels in the basement were high and also recommended our Aprilaire Dehumidifier. In about a week, the test results were above 4pCi/L, and the homeowner contacted Gary to have our radon mitigation system and dehumidifier installed. 

In a couple of weeks, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed a PVC pipe through the sump pump and connected it to the radon mitigation system, which would be installed outside of the home. In about a week, one of our Service Technicians arrived at the home to install the Aprilaire Dehumidifier.
