Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

An Eagan, MN,  homeowner was chatting with her neighbor one day when she learned that her neighbor had their home tested for radon gas. She did not know the dangers of radon gas but decided to find a radon mitigation specialist in her area just to be sure that her home wasn't affected. Through an online search, she quickly found our website. Impressed with our radon mitigation system pictures, she signed up for her FREE estimate and several weeks later, one of our Design Specialists, Brad W, was headed out to the home. 

Brad began his inspection by placing a continuous radon monitoring test on the lowest level of the home. This test works to collect radon levels in the home over a 48-hour timespan, delivering the average result when the test concludes. When Brad finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver the diagnosis. Brad began by explaining that radon is a radioactive gas that is emitted from the breakdown of soil surrounding your home's foundation. It gets into the home through tiny cracks and holes in the foundation. The gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, thus making it completely undetectable without the proper testing. Brad went on to say that the EPA recommends taking action for any levels higher than 4 pCi/L, as this dangerous gas has been linked to the development of lung cancer, claiming 21,000 lives annually. Brad finished by saying that if the results of the test came back higher than the recommended level, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider 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 a professional, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health safety agencies. The homeowner liked Brad's plan but decided to wait for the results to return to make her choice. 48 short hours later, Brad returned to the home to read the results, which returned well above 4 pCi/L, so Brad and the homeowner began to discuss the best day for our team to come out and install her system. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Dakota M, was able to place the system in the home. Now, our customer can have renewed faith in the air circulating her home!

A Falcon Heights, MN, homeowner was chatting with a neighbor one day when he learned that they had their home mitigated for radon gas. The homeowner didn't know much about the gas, but knew that if their neighbor had it, their home could be at risk as well. He decided to find a radon mitigation professional near Falcon Heights, MN, and quickly found our website. He was impressed with our other work in the area, and decided to sign up for a FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kyle P, was headed out to the home. 

When Kyle arrived, he began the process by placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. The purpose of this test is to gauge radon levels in the home over 48 hours, after which time our Design Specialist returns to the home and reads the average radon results. Once Kyle finished the rest of his inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss a plan moving forward. Kyle began by saying that the homeowner was correct to worry about radon. Kyle elaborated, saying that radon is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas that is emitted during the breakdown of the soil surrounding a home's foundation. He went on to say that radon gas is radioactive, and has been linked to the development of lung cancer, claiming 21,000 lives annually. Kyle finished by saying that if the levels returned higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly urge the homeowner to install a radon mitigation system in the home, explaining that this 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 the interior space. The homeowner was happy with Kyle's honesty and transparency about the issue, and the two decided to discuss more when the results were in. 48 hours later, the results returned far higher than 4 pCi/L, and the two began discussing installation dates. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Dakota M, and his team successfully placed our radon mitigation system within the home. Now, our customer can breathe easier knowing that the radon gas levels in his home are much lower!

A homeowner in Mendota Heights, MN, recently saw an advertisment discussing the dangers of radon. Worried about the levels in their home, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. The homeowner looked into "radon experts near me," and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal company for their project. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Greg. Once Greg arrived at the home, he began the radon test. While the test was being completed, Greg looked for the best place to install the system. Once the test was completed, it confirmed the levels were dangerously high. To lower these levels, Greg recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System outside the home. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Greg to find the best installation date. On the date of the installation, our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew traveled to his home to begin. Dakota and his crew successfully installed the Radon Mitigation System outside the home. After the Radon Mitigation System was secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their radon levels were properly lowered. 

In St Paul, MN, a homeowner found an article that went over radon gas and how it was the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer in the US. Concerned that their family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes, the homeowner decided to test their home for radon. In a couple of days, the test results were above 4pCi/L, and the homeowner began looking into radon mitigation system installers in the area. After being impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Kyle P., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the layout of the home to determine the best placement of our radon mitigation system. Kyle also explained to the homeowner that it was beneficial to have the issue addressed promptly, as homeowners often wait until their family is affected before taking action. After they decided to have the mitigation fan installed on the exterior of the home, the installation was scheduled.

In about a month, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. Once the crew successfully installed the system, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Roseville, MN, recently came upon a social media post discussing the health risks radon poses in homes. She learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, a naturally occurring radioactive element that can be found when soil decays, making it unavoidable as it creates a high toxic level in the air we breathe. Worried that her family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes, she decided to purchase a radon testing kit, and after several days, the test results were above 4pCi/L. The homeowner decided to contact us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Kyle P., arrived at the home to analyze where the radon mitigation system would be installed. He informed the homeowner that our system would be installed at the lowest level of the home. This is done so that it can suck out the radon-rich air and spew it outdoors. The homeowner was grateful for Kyle's explanation and decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by installing a PVC pipe beneath the footing. The pipe would then connect to the radon mitigation system that is installed outside of the home. After they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
