Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

In Wykoff, MN, a homeowner had read an article that went over radon gas and how it is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US. Concerned that their family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic gas, the homeowner went to their local hardware store to purchase a radon testing kit. After a couple of days, the test results were above 4pCi/L, and the homeowner quickly took action by contacting us and scheduling their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Brad W., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the layout of the home and worked closely with the homeowner on the best placement of our radon mitigation system. Brad also explained to the homeowner that was good to take action when you notice the radon levels in your home are high, as it is a naturally occurring gas that comes from the soil beneath the foundation. Brad recommended installing our fan on the exterior of the home and connecting it to the concrete flooring via PVC pipe. Confident in our team, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

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

A homeowner from Mazeppa, MN, was chatting with his neighbor one morning when his neighbor informed him that he had his home tested for radon gas. The homeowner knew very little about the dangerous gas but decided perhaps he should have his home tested as well. His neighbor had told him that American Waterworks offers radon testing in MN, so the homeowner decided to call us and schedule his FREE estimate. In the meantime, the homeowner headed to his local home improvement store to buy an at-home radon test. When the results came back high, he was confident that he had made the right choice by contacting American Waterworks. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mac C, headed out to the home. He started the appointment by scouting the best place for a radon mitigation system for this home. When he finished, he met with the homeowner. Mac began by explaining that the homeowner had done the right thing by testing his home and calling us. Mac went on to say that the tricky thing about radon is that because it's odorless, colorless, and tasteless, it's impossible to know whether or not your home is infested without proper testing. Mac then went on to say that because the levels in the home were well above 4 pCi/Ls, he was recommending a radon mitigation system be installed in the home. He then 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 Mac's plan and scheduled the job for some time later. 

Eventually, the day of the installation rolled around. Our Foreman, Dakota M, was able to successfully install the radon mitigation system without any worries. Now, our homeowner can be confident that only the healthiest air is circulating in his home. 

Randy I. of Stanchfield, MN had high radon levels in his home and he was looking to get a radon mitigation system installed in his home. He found American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor, so he got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Michel, went to his house, inspected his space, and determined a plan for where to install the system. Randy was confident in Michel's proposal and signed the contract. 

Our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew member, Geno, installed our radon mitigation system from his utility room, through the garage, to the attic, and up through the roof. The purpose of our mitigation system is to pull radon from within the home and expel it outside of the house. Randy was happy with the crew and the work that was performed!

Barbara B in Eyota, MN learned about the dangers of radon gas. She had not yet had her home tested and once she learned that radon causes 15% of the world's lung cancer cases and kills over 20,000 people each year, she wanted to get her home tested right away.

She contacted American Waterworks and we sent our Design Specialist, Dustin Loftus, to her home to set up a radon test kit. The results showed that she did have high levels of radon and we recommended that we install a radon mitigation system to ensure that the majority of the radon entering her home would be sucked through a PVC pipe and discharged from her home. 

Our crew drilled a hole through the floor in the basement to insert a PVC pipe and create a suction point for the radon gas. Then the gas is vented through the pipe and out of the home. A fan is also installed at the top of the PVC pipe where the gas is vented out to ensure that the gas is pushed away from the home. Barbara now has peace of mind knowing that her family is protected from this dangerous gas.
