Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, had been reading a local newspaper when she saw one of our print ads for radon gas mitigation. She didn't know much about radon, so she took to the internet. What she found out was very disconcerting, so she decided to call us to schedule a FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brad W, was headed out to the home. 

When Brad arrived, the first step in his process was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. Brad explained that this test works to record the radon levels within the home over a 48-hour timespan. After the test concludes, an average radon level will be delivered. Brad went on to say that if the levels came back higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly recommend the installation of 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 the sound of Brad's plan but decided to wait until the results returned to make a choice. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team were able to effortlessly install the system within the home. Now, our customer can have confidence in the air circulating in her home!

A homeowner from Onalaska, WI, had heard lots of his friends and neighbors talk about having their home tested for radon gas. The homeowner didn't know much about the dangers of radon gas but decided to educate himself on the topic. After finding out that radon is a radioactive gas released during the breakdown of soil around a home's foundation, he decided it might be in his best interest to consider having his home tested. One day he saw one of our print ads in a local shopper, informing him that we offer radon testing and mitigation. He called the next day and scheduled his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nate B, was headed out to the home. When Nate arrived, he began the inspection by placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. This test works to gauge and record radon levels in the home for 48 hours, delivering average radon levels when the test is complete. After Nate finished the rest of his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to go over his recommendations. Nate began by saying that if the levels in the home returned higher than 4 pCi/L, he would recommend installing 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 an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was impressed with Nate's approach, and the two decided to touch base once the results of the test were back. 48 hours later, Nate returned to the home to read the results, which returned much higher than the EPA's recommended 4 pCi/L. The two then worked to find the best day for the project to be installed. 

A month or so later, our Foreman, Geno M, and his Co-Foreman, Gus R, were headed out to the home to install the system. When they finished the project, our customer was thrilled to know that he was one step closer to fresh air circulating his home!

A homeowner in Eleva, WI, recently read an article discussing the dangers of radon. Worried they had high levels, the homeowner began looking into "radon testing and mitigation services near me". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of the Design Specialist, Mitch. Mitch's property arrived at the home and began the radon test. While the radon test was being completed, Mitch searched for the best place to install the Radon Mitigation System. Once the test was completed, it confirmed the levels were alarmingly high. To lower these levels, Mitch recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System on the outside of the home. The homeowner agreed and worked with Mitch to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew traveled to the home to install the system. Dakota and his crew secured the Radon Mitigation System on the southwest side of the home. Once the system was secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind knowing their radon levels were lowered. 

A homeowner in Eau Claire, WI, watched an informational video on the dangers of radon. Worried about their home's levels, the homeowners knew they needed to find a professional company that could test and mitigate the issue. The homeowner looked into "high radon levels in Eau Claire wi", and one of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our ratings and reviews, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once their estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Kyle, to the home to take a closer look. Kyle introduced himself to the homeowner and started the radon test. While the radon test was running, Kyle was able to determine where the radon abatement system would be installed. When the test was completed, the results showed that the home's levels were alarmingly high. Kyle shared his findings with the homeowner and he recommended installing a radon mitigation system in the home. Hoping to lower the levels, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Kyle's recommendations. Next, Kyle passed the proposal to our Logistics team to build and approve the plans. Our Logistics team builds and schedules the installation for the upcoming weeks. After the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew traveled to the home to install the Radon Mitigation System. First, Dakota and his team mapped out where the Radon Mitigation System would be installed. Then, Dakota and his crew installed the system outside the home. After the system was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their home was no longer at risk of high radon levels. American Waterworks is happy to eliminate radon risks in their customer's homes.
