Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN had high radon levels and they wanted to get a radon mitigation system installed. Our crew of Dakota and Geno installed the system starting in the utility room, to the closet (as shown), to the garage, and through the roof. The purpose of the system is to pull radon from underneath the ground and guiding it through the home to the outside of the home so it can escape into the open air. The homeowner was very impressed with the project and their peace of mind is restored knowing that they will breathe safe air!

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, was scrolling through social media when he came upon a post discussing the dangers of radon. He learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, which can be found in soil. As soil decays, it releases radon gas, which creates a high toxicity level in the air. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, second only to cigarette smoking. After learning this information, the homeowner went to his local convenience store to purchase a radon test kit. In a couple of days, the test results were above 4 pCi/L, and the homeowner quickly began searching for radon mitigation services in the area. The homeowner came upon our website and was impressed with our reviews. He contacted us and claimed his FREE estimate.  

Our Design Specialist, Mitch S., arrived at the home, and the homeowner informed him that he had already tested the radon levels of his home and would like our radon mitigation system installed. Mitch understood and quickly got to work designing where the system would be installed. He explained to the homeowner that our radon mitigation system would be installed at the home's lowest level and consist of a large-diameter plastic pipe that would connect the air beneath the foundation to outdoors. The homeowner understood and agreed to his design.

In about a month, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They would drill a hole at the footing and place a PVC pipe, which would then connect the system that is installed outside of the home. This design tackles the radon-rich air by spewing it outside before it can reach the home. Once the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner from Minneapolis, MN, had just learned about the dangers of radon gas on a household and was worried that her home could be infested with the gas so she decided to find a radon specialist in her area. When she found our website, she signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dave S, was headed out to the home. 

When Dave arrived, the first portion of his inspection was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the basement of the home to adequately gauge the levels in the home over some time, delivering an average after a 48-hour timespan. Dave explained to the homeowner that the Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking action with any levels higher than 4 pCi/L. Dave went on to say that, should the homeowner level return higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly recommend the installation of a radon mitigation system. 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 a professional, this system will lower the concentration of radon gas in interior areas to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner agreed with Dave's recommendation but decided to wait until the levels returned to make a choice. 48 hours later, Dave was back at the home to read the results, which returned marginally higher than the recommended action levels, so Dave and the homeowner worked together to find the best day for an installation. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team effortlessly placed the system in the home, successfully restoring our customers peace of mind in the air circulating in her home! 

Kyle W. of Minneapolis, MN had a radon level of 4.1 pCi/L. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 4 pCi/L is the "action level", which means that it needs to be mitigated as soon as possible. Kyle found American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor, so he contacted our office staff and set up a day to get one of our Exterior Radon Mitigation Systems installed. Our Design Specialist, Michel, went to Kyle's home, inspected the exterior of his house, and designed a detailed plan for where to install the system as well as the cost. Kyle was confident in the quote and the design, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foremen, Dakota and Geno, installed the system from the inside utility room to the house exterior. The purpose of the mitigation system is to pull radon from underneath the home and expose it into the open air outside of the home. The installation only took a few hours and Kyle was very happy with the work that was completed.

A couple from Minneapolis, MN, had been watching TV one evening when they saw one of our TV ads about radon mitigation. They had previously had their crawl space sealed by our company and figured having their home tested for radon gas wouldn't hurt. They called our office and set up their FREE estimate and several weeks later, Nate B, one of our Design Specialists, was out at the home. 

When Nate arrived, the first portion of his inspection required him to leave a charcoal radon test in the home's lowest level. The purpose of this test is to record the radon levels in the house, delivering the average results at the end of the test. He then proceeded with his inspection. When he concluded, he met with the homeowner. He began by commending her for having her home tested for radon. Nate then went on to say that radon is a radioactive gas emitted from the breakdown of soil surrounding your home. It finds its way into your home through small holes and cracks in the foundation of your home, silently wreaking havoc on your lungs. Nate explained that radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind cigarette smoking, claiming 21,000 lives annually. For this reason, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking action on any level over 4 pCi/L. Nate finished by saying that if the levels returned higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider a radon mitigation system. 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. The homeowner liked the sound of Nate's plan but decided to hold off on choosing until the results returned. About a week or so later the results returned much higher than 4 pCi/L, so the homeowner called Nate, and the two found the best day to have the system installed. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team effortlessly placed the system within the home, successfully restoring our customer's faith in her space!
