Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

Mr. Abrams' home in Northfield, MN tested high for radon at 20.0 pCi/L. The EPA recommends for homeowners to take corrective action if your radon level is at 4 pCi/L or higher. Our Design Specialist, Michael Radosevich developed a solution to mitigate Mr. Abrams' high level of radon. Foreman Dakota Merchlewitz installed our radon mitigation system and now Mr. Abrams' radon level reads 0.7 pCi/L. He now has peace of mind knowing that he is keeping his home and family safe. 

A homeowner from Northfield, MN got in contact with us when they suspected their home was infested with Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas that occurs as the soil around the foundation of your home breaks down. Our customers knew that Radon has become the second-leading cause of lung cancer, second only to cigarette smoke. He knew that if the issue was left unresolved, he could run the risk of severely compromising his and his family's health. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate, and our Design Specialist, Jarrett headed out to the house to test the levels. Jarrett completed a charcoal test, which consists of leaving a small kit behind in the home for 48-72 hours, after which the levels of Radon can be gauged. Once the test came back, the Radon levels in the home showed to be over 9 pCi/L. We recommend taking action with levels at 4 pCi/L or above, as 1 pCi/L of Radon is equivalent to smoking 2.5 cigarettes a day. Jarrett recommended that our customer strongly consider having a Radon Mitigation system installed. He explained that this system works to pull Radon from the home, pipe it upwards through an installed vent, and expel it outward and away from the home. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Dakota, and his team installed the system quickly and efficiently, and now our customer is happy to know that he no longer has to worry about Radon harming him or his family. 

A Northfield, MN, resident had just learned about radon and the dangers it could pose to his family. He decided to look for reputable radon contractors in MN and eventually found our website. He was impressed by the work we had done in his area and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. A few weeks later, one of our Design Specialists, Darin S, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Part of Darin's inspection was leaving behind a radon charcoal test on the lower level of the home. This test works to gauge the average radon levels in the home over a period of 48 hours, after which time homeowners are responsible for sending their tests to a pre-determined business that delivers the results. Darin explained that while radon can be dangerous, American Waterworks can offer a solution. If the results came back higher than 4 piC/L, Darin wanted to install a radon mitigation system. He explained that these machines work to pull dangerous radon from the home, piping it upward through PVC to the top of the home, where it expels the radon out and away from the home. The homeowner liked the sound of Darin's suggestion but decided to wait until their radon test came back. 

When the test returned, the homeowner decided to install the mitigation system. On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dakota M, and his team installed the system in no time. Now, our customer can breathe easier knowing he has clean air circulating in his home!

A homeowner in Northfield, MN, saw a documentary discussing the dangers of radon. Radon is an invisible, odorless, and tasteless gas that can only be detected by testing. Additionally, there have been over 20,000 lung cancer-related deaths each year. Worried there was a large risk in their home, the homeowner knew they needed to test the levels in their home. Knowing they needed a professional, the homeowner began looking into "radon testing near me". One of the first companies to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our radon mitigation services, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on the website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of our Design Specialist, Nathan. A few weeks later, Nathan arrived at the home and started the appointment. First, Nathan set up and began the radon test. While the radon test was being completed, Nathan began searching for the best place to install the Radon Mitigation System. Once the test was completed, Nathan confirmed the home was testing high for radon. After sharing the news with the homeowner, Nathan recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System on the side of the home. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Nathan's recommendations. After receiving the homeowner's stamp of approval, Nathan sent the plans to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Our Logistics team built and scheduled the plans, then they were assigned to our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew. A few weeks later, Daktoa traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Dakota and his crew started by ensuring the space was ready for installation. Next, Dakota and his crew began by installing the Radon Mitigation System. The Radon Mitigation System is designed depending on the structure of your home. Once the Radon Mitigation System was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their radon risk was eliminated. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners with peace of mind. 

Alex F. of Minneapolis, MN wanted to get a radon mitigation system installed because his test came back with 6.9 pCi/L. He did his research and found American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor. He got our radon mitigation system installed by our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew member, Geno. Dakota started the installation in the utility room to the garage and through the roof, where the radon was able to escape into the open air. The purpose of our radon mitigation system is to expose radon out of the house. It can be installed in several different locations on the property depending on the basement, crawl space, or concrete slab.
