Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Milnor, ND, noticed odd sounds from their basement. After further investigation, the homeowner discovered the sounds were coming from their sump pump. Worried about the long-term effects, the homeowners knew they needed to find an expert solution. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner began looking into sump pump replacements and companies that provide those services. During their investigation, the homeowner came across our website. Interested in our waterproofing services, the homeowner was impressed with our elite waterproofing products. Additionally, our Radon Mitigation Systems caught the homeowner's eye. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Ian, one of our Design Specialists. Ian made his way to the home and began his thorough investigation of the basement. During his investigation, Ian confirmed the basement required repairs. Additionally, Ian tested the home's radon level and found that it was alarmingly high. Ian recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System to lower the levels. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed with Ian's recommendations. Next, the plans were passed along to our Logisitcs team to approve the plans. Once the plans were approved, the proposal was assigned to our Radon Sales and Service Technician, Jackson. Jackson received the plans and traveled to Milnor to begin the project. First, Jackson installed additional parts to the struggling sump pump. Next, Jackson shifted his focus to installing the Radon Mitigation System. By installing a Radon Mitigation System, it will lower the concentration of radon gas in your home to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA. Jackson installed the entire system on the inside and outside of the home. Once all the products were secured, Jackson cleaned up his materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their home's radon levels were lowered and at the proper levels. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their radon risk is eliminated.

Chad from Fort Ransom, ND was looking to have an active radon system with a fan added to his home. After scheduling his FREE estimate, our Design Specialist Ian headed out to the property. After his inspection, he expressed concern that the home might be subject to radon gas. He explained that this hazardous, invisible, and odorless gas was the second leading cause of lung cancer behind cigarette smoking. Chad agreed to have the home checked using one of our leave-behind kits. We set up the kit, and after 48-72 hours, it was sent in to obtain the results; these came back at 10.0 pCi/L. Ian explained that The Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking action for anything above 4 pCi/L. He went on to explain that 1 pCi/L of Radon is equivalent to smoking 2.5 cigarettes. 

Ian suggested having a new extraction point installed to depressurize the home. He explained that once the system was installed, it would work to pull Radon from the house, pipe it upwards through venting, and push it out and away from the home. Chad agreed with Ian's recommendation, and work began shortly after. Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew quickly and efficiently installed the system.

First, The SuperSump Plus was added with a Zoeller 1/2HP sump pump for more power. In addition to this, the plan was to add a discharge line that would ensure the radon went up and out of the house.

Our team connected PVC piping from the sump pump to the ceiling and out of the home, where our team installed the system. The mitigation system is the heart of the system; if it isn't working properly, no radon will be able to escape the home. Once they installed the system and its cover outside the home, they connected PVC piping from the system alongside the home until it reached the roof. The radon was able to escape the home quickly and efficiently. Chad was glad he got this taken care of, and his peace of mind was restored knowing he was breathing in safe air.

A homeowner in Grand Forks, ND, recently learned about the danger that radon poses in homes. Concerned that her family was breathing in the toxic fumes, she went to the store to buy a radon test kit. A couple of days later, the test results came back above 4 pCi/L, which is above the EPA's required action level for radon. She immediately started looking for services in the area and came upon our website. She learned that we offer FREE estimates, and soon contacted us to schedule an appointment with one of our experts.

Our Design Specialist, Ian S., arrived on the scheduled date and immediately inspected the home to figure out where to install the radon mitigation system. He explained to the homeowner that the system needs to be installed on the lowest level of the home because radon is a by-product of uranium, which can be found in soil. As uranium decays, it releases radon gas. By placing the system on the footing of the home, it tackles the radon gas before it can enter your home. The homeowner thanked Ian for his explanation and approved his design. 

In a couple of weeks, our Radon Sales & Service Technician, Jackson P., arrived at the home for the installation. Our radon mitigation system is a large-diameter plastic pipe that is installed at the footing and connects to the outside of the home. An in-line fan will suction out the radon gas beneath your foundation and vent it outdoors. After Jackson's installation was complete, he cleaned up his equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer is happy to know that she and her family are breathing in fresh and clean air! When was the last time you tested the radon levels of your home? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate!
