Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

Dan R. in Ivanhoe, 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. Our Design Specialist walked him through the radon mitigation installation process and answered his questions. Dan wanted to act quickly and moved forward with an installation date.

During the installation process, our Foreman, Dakota Merchlewitz, 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. Dan is relieved that he took the necessary steps to make sure his family's health is no longer compromised.

A homeowner in Lisbon, ND, was watching television one evening when they took note of an advertisment discussing the dangers of radon. Worried about their home's levels, the homeowner knew they wanted answers. Radon is an odorless, tasteless, and invisible gas that is harmful to all members of a household. Concerned their levels were above the recommended 4pCi/l, the homeowner called their local radon mitigation contractor, American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. We sent our Design Specialist, Ian, to the home to take a closer look. Ian set the test and began looking for the best extraction point. Once the test was completed, it showed the levels were higher than 4pCI/l. Ian recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System, and the homeowner agreed. The install date was sent, then our Logisitics team assigned the project to our Radon Sales and Service Technician, Jackson. The following month, Jackson arrived at the home and began the Radon Mitigation installation. Jackson installed the Radon Mitigation System on the south side of the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their radon risk was eliminated. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners with peace of mind.

A homeowner in Milnor, ND, noticed odd sounds from their basement. After further investigation, the homeowner discovered the sounds were coming from their sump pump. Worried about the long-term effects, the homeowners knew they needed to find an expert solution. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner began looking into sump pump replacements and companies that provide those services. During their investigation, the homeowner came across our website. Interested in our waterproofing services, the homeowner was impressed with our elite waterproofing products. Additionally, our Radon Mitigation Systems caught the homeowner's eye. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Ian, one of our Design Specialists. Ian made his way to the home and began his thorough investigation of the basement. During his investigation, Ian confirmed the basement required repairs. Additionally, Ian tested the home's radon level and found that it was alarmingly high. Ian recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System to lower the levels. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed with Ian's recommendations. Next, the plans were passed along to our Logisitcs team to approve the plans. Once the plans were approved, the proposal was assigned to our Radon Sales and Service Technician, Jackson. Jackson received the plans and traveled to Milnor to begin the project. First, Jackson installed additional parts to the struggling sump pump. Next, Jackson shifted his focus to installing the Radon Mitigation System. By installing a Radon Mitigation System, it will lower the concentration of radon gas in your home to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA. Jackson installed the entire system on the inside and outside of the home. Once all the products were secured, Jackson cleaned up his materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their home's radon levels were lowered and at the proper levels. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their radon risk is eliminated.

A couple from Valley City, ND got in contact with us when they decided they wanted to get their house tested for Radon gas. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that has become the second leading cause of lung cancer, second only to cigarette smoke. The couple knew that testing for the dangerous gas was incredibly important. When they called in, we set them up with our FREE estimate, entitling them to a thorough inspection of the issue by one of our Design Specialists. Once the appointment had been set, our Design Specialist from our Fargo branch, Kole, headed out to the property. When he arrived, he informed the homeowners that he would be leaving a charcoal test behind for 48 hours. He went on to say that the test would sit in the home and at the end of the 48 hours, would be able to tell the levels of Radon in the home. Once the 48 hours was up, the couple sent their test out, and it came back measuring 7.9 pCi/L. Kole informed the couple that the World Health Organization recommends taking action to fight Radon at a 2.7 as 1pCi/L of Radon is equal to 2.5 cigarettes smoked a day. Kole recommended that the couple looks into installing a Radon Mitigation System in the home. He explained that this system works to pull Radon from the home and then pipe it up and outwards from the home. The couple quickly agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Fargo-based Foreman, CJ, and his crew worked quickly and efficiently to install the new system in the home. Once work was complete, the couple was relieved to know that their Radon issue had been addressed and dealt with. 

Cassidy B. in Lynd, MN  had her home tested for radon. When the results came back high, she started doing some research. She was happy to learn that American Waterworks can easily give an estimate and install a radon mitigation system. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Reed Hudson, to meet with Cassidy, inspect her home, and design a customized system. 

Our Foreman, Dakota Merchlewitz, started the installation process by drilling a hole in the slab foundation of the home and connected a PVC pipe. The radon gas is drawn upward and the pipe guides it to the fan. The fan draws and vents radon safely above and away from the home. Cassidy was impressed with the quick installation and is glad she took the necessary steps to protect her family.
