Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Rochester, MN, was beginning the process of selling his home. Before he could confidently list his home, he knew there were several things he had to update or address. First, he was curious to see if his home had high radon levels. He knew his neighbor had recently had their home tested, so he decided to do the same. On the recommendation of a friend, he contacted American Waterworks and set up his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Michel R, headed to the home. 

When Michel arrived, the first portion of his inspection was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. Michel explained to the homeowner that the goal of this test was to record radon levels in the home over a 48-hour time period, after which time Michel would return to read the average results. Michel informed the homeowner that, should the levels come back higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly recommend the installation of a radon mitigation system. Michel 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 a professional, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA. The homeowner was very impressed with Michel's approach but decided to wait until her radon results returned. When the 48 hours were up, Michel arrived back at the home to read the results, which returned much higher than 4 pCi/L, so the homeowner and Michel sat down and found a day for the system to be installed. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team were able to successfully install the system. Now, our customer can confidently list his home for sale, knowing the new homeowners would be thankful for clean air! 

A homeowner in Rochester, MN, had recently learned that radon is the #2 leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoking. Concerned that their family was breathing in the toxic gas, the homeowner decided to purchase a radon testing kit. After a couple of days, the test results were above 4pCI/L, and the homeowner decided to look into radon mitigation installers in the area and found us. They then scheduled their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Sales Manager, Jesse H., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the home's layout and worked closely with the homeowner to determine the best placement of our radon mitigation system. After agreeing to have the fan installed at the exterior of the home and the PVC pipe through the footing, the installation date was scheduled with our crew.

In about a month, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. After the successful installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

In Fifty Lakes, MN, a homeowner came upon an article that discusses the dangers radon poses in homes. Through the article, he learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, which can be found in soil. As uranium decays, it produces radium, which eventually turns into radon gas. Since uranium is in soil, it makes radon unavoidable. Worried that his family was breathing in the toxic fumes, he decided to look into services in the area. He came upon our website and was pleased to see our Before and After photos of our radon mitigation system. He quickly contacted us to claim his FREE estimate and scheduled an appointment with our Design Specialist.

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, James N., arrived at the home to start the radon monitoring test. He set this test up in the lowest level of the home and explained to the homeowner that the test would need to run for at least 48 hours. James reassured the homeowner that his decision to have the home tested was good as we cannot see, touch, smell, taste, or hear radon. He further explained that we offer a radon mitigation system that uses a large-diameter plastic pipe that suctions out the air beneath your foundation and vents it outdoors. The homeowner was thankful for James's permanent solution to prevent dangerous radon levels in the future. 

In about a week, the test results came back above 4 pCi/L, which is the Environmental Protection Agency's required action level for radon. The homeowner contacted us to schedule the installment of our radon mitigation system. 

In a couple of weeks, our Radon Sales & Service Technician, Jackson P., arrived at the home for the installation. When he finished installing the system, the homeowner was relieved he no longer had to worry about breathing in the toxic fumes.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Michel R., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the layout of the home and began working on a detailed solution for the best placement of our radon mitigation system. Michel recommended installing the system in the exterior of the home and having it connect to the concrete floor in the basement with a PVC pipe. This is designed this way so that our system can suction out the radon gas and expel it above the roofline before it can enter the home. Confident in our team, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.
