Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Winona, MN, had been listening to the radio when she heard a warning about radon gas. She knew very little about the dangers that radon gas can pose to a household. She decided that it was better to be safe than sorry, and vowed to find a radon mitigation company to test her home. When she found our website, she signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nate B, was headed out to the home. 

When Nate arrived, he began his inspection by placing a charcoal radon test on the lowest level of the home. Nate explained to the homeowner that this test is comprised of an airtight container with activated charcoal being opened in the home and radon in the air absorbed into the charcoal granules, giving our team an accurate reading of the radon within the home. Nate went on to say that, should the results return higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider installing a radon mitigation system. He 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. The homeowner liked Adam's approach but decided to wait until the results returned to make a choice. A few short days later, the results returned at 8 pCi/L, double the levels recommended by the EPA. The homeowner called Adam and the two worked together to find a day for our team to come back to install the system. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Dakota M, was headed to the home. Dakota and his team were able to seamlessly place the radon system in the home, successfully restoring our customer's peace of mind in the air circulating the home! 

A customer from Lansing, IA got in contact with us when they began to fear that their home may be inhibited by Radon, a colorless, odorless, naturally occurring gas that comes from the breakdown and decay of the soil that surrounds the foundation of the home. When our customer called in, we set them up with a FREE no-obligation estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jarrett, headed out to the property to see what could be done. He began by performing a 48-hour charcoal test, which he left behind to monitor the levels of Radon in the home. Once completed, the home was found to have unsafe levels of Radon. Jarrett recommended the installation of a Radon mitigation system and the couple agreed. 

Our Production crew, led by Dakota, installed the system in no time. Now, our customers don't need to worry about breathing hazardous gas in their home! 

Jen S. in Dodge, WI was selling her home and needed a radon mitigation system installed. Her realtor recommended American Waterworks, and we sent our Design Specialist, Kevin Kreofsky, to design a system that was unique to her home.

Our Foreman, Dakota Merchlewitz, started the installation process by drilling a hole in the slab foundation of the home and connected a PVC pipe. The radon gas is drawn upward, and the pipe guides it to the fan. The fan draws and vents radon safely above and away from the home. 

A homeowner in Prairie Du Chien, WI, recently learned of the dangerous health risk radon poses in households. The homeowner learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, a naturally occurring radioactive element that can be found in soil. As the soil decays, it releases radon and creates a high toxicity level in the air. Concerned that her family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes, the homeowner decided to purchase a radon testing kit. After a couple of days, the results were above 4 pCi/L, which is the EPA's required action level for radon. The homeowner then found our website and contacted us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Michel R., arrived at the home for the inspection. Michel explained to the homeowner that radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer, so it was good that she contacted us to install our radon mitigation system. Michel then created a design where our radon mitigation would be installed, and the homeowner agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, one of our crews arrived at the home for the installation. They began by installing a PVC pipe into the footing of the home. The pipe is then connected to the radon mitigation system that is installed outside of the home. After the crew was done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer can breathe in fresh indoor air! When was the last time you tested the radon levels of your home? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate today!

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, had just learned that his neighbor had his home tested for radon gas. The homeowner knew very little about the dangers of radon gas but decided to find a radon specialist near La Crosse, WI. During his search, he decided to head to a home improvement store to test the levels of radon in his home himself. When he found our website, he was impressed with other radon system installations we had done in his area. He decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later our Design Specialist, Nate B, headed out to the home. 

When Nate arrived, the homeowner informed him that he had tested his home and that the levels had come back higher than average. Nate then inspected the house and found the best place for a radon mitigation system. Nate 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 went on to say that 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 and other health agencies. The homeowner liked Nate's suggestion and signed for the project on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dakota M, made quick work of the installation. When he had finished, our customer was thrilled to know that the air circulating in his home was radon-free!
