Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

A current customer from Plainview, MN had several of our products installed throughout the basement of her home. During one of her annual maintenance visits, one of our Service Technicians expressed concern that her home might be subject to Radon gas. He explained that this hazardous, invisible, and odorless gas was the second leading cause of lung cancer behind cigarette smoking. She agreed to have her home checked using one of our leave-behind kits. Our Service Tech, Darin, set up the kit and after 48-72 hours she sent it in to obtain the results, which came back at 5.1 pCi/L. Once her results came back, Darin explained to her that The Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking action for anything above 4 pCi/L. He went on to explain that her 1 pCi/L of Radon is equivalent to smoking 2.5 cigarettes. When she wondered what could be done, Darin suggested having a Radon Mitigation system installed. He explained to her that once the system was installed, it would work to pull Radon from the house, pipe it upwards through venting, and push it out and away from the home. She agreed with Darin's recommendation and work began shortly after. Our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew quickly and efficiently installed the system and now our customer can go back to enjoying her home without worries about toxic Radon gas pollution! 

A homeowner in Beldenville, WI, worried that the radon levels in their home were dangerously high. Unsure of the causes, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner began looking into "radon mitigation experts 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 our Design Specialist, Gary. On the appointment date, Gary promptly arrived at the home and began with a radon test. Once the radon test was completed, it showed that the levels were alarmingly high. To prevent these levels from worsening, Gary recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System in the home. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Gary to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman promptly arrived at the home and began the installation. Each of our Radon Mitigation Systems is designed differently, depending on the structure of the home. The forces need to be redirected from the "stack effect". Then, the radon gas is redirected and vented away from your home. Next, the radon entry points are sealed, and the final system checklist is performed. Once the Radon Mitigation System was secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew.

A homeowner from Plum City, WI, was reading a local newspaper when she found an article on radon gas. She had never heard of radon before, but from what she read, she understood that the dangers of radon were very high. She decided to find a radon mitigation specialist in her area to help restore peace of mind in her home. When she found our website, she signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Chuck H, was headed out to the home. In the meantime, the homeowner headed to her local home improvement store and purchased an at-home radon level test. When the test returned with high levels, she knew she had made the right choice by contacting us. 

When Chuck arrived, she informed him that the levels in the home were high, so Chuck began his inspection by scouting out the best spot for a mitigation system. When he was finished, Chuck met with the homeowner and informed her that he was strongly recommending 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. He finished by saying that, when installed by an experienced professional, 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 safety agencies. The homeowner liked the sound of Chuck's plan, and the two worked together to find a date for the installation. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dakota, led his team through a successful installation of the radon mitigation system. Now, our customer has restored faith in the air circulating her home! 

Brandon R. in Lewiston, MN had learned about the dangers of radon gas and decided that he needed to get his home tested. The test results showed a high level of radon. So our Design Specialist, Mac Cole, walked Brandon through the radon mitigation installation process and answered his questions. Brandon wanted to act quickly so his family's health would no longer be compromised, so he had the system installed as soon as possible. 

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. Brandon now has peace of mind knowing that his family is protected from this dangerous gas.

According to the World Health Organization, radon causes 15% of the world's lung cancer cases and kills over 20,000 people each year. If you have not gotten your home tested for radon, click here to set up an appointment!

In Hinckley, MN, a homeowner learned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US and that it can be found in any household. Concerned their family was breathing in the toxic gas, the homeowner purchased a radon testing kit and tested the levels in their home. In a couple of days, the test results were above 4pCi/L, and the homeowner contacted our Appointment Center for a solution.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Gary S., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection. During the inspection, Gary 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.
