Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, had been reading a local newspaper when she saw one of our print ads for radon gas mitigation. She didn't know much about radon, so she took to the internet. What she found out was very disconcerting, so she decided to call us to schedule a FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brad W, was headed out to the home. 

When Brad arrived, the first step in his process was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. Brad explained that this test works to record the radon levels within the home over a 48-hour timespan. After the test concludes, an average radon level will be delivered. Brad went on to say that if the levels came back higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly recommend the installation of 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. The homeowner liked the sound of Brad's plan but decided to wait until the results returned to make a choice. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team were able to effortlessly install the system within the home. Now, our customer can have confidence in the air circulating in her home!

A homeowner from Onalaska, WI, had heard lots of his friends and neighbors talk about having their home tested for radon gas. The homeowner didn't know much about the dangers of radon gas but decided to educate himself on the topic. After finding out that radon is a radioactive gas released during the breakdown of soil around a home's foundation, he decided it might be in his best interest to consider having his home tested. One day he saw one of our print ads in a local shopper, informing him that we offer radon testing and mitigation. He called the next day and scheduled his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nate B, was headed out to the home. When Nate arrived, he began the inspection by placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. This test works to gauge and record radon levels in the home for 48 hours, delivering average radon levels when the test is complete. After Nate finished the rest of his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to go over his recommendations. Nate began by saying that if the levels in the home returned higher than 4 pCi/L, he would recommend 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 an experienced radon mitigation specialist, 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 and safety agencies. The homeowner was impressed with Nate's approach, and the two decided to touch base once the results of the test were back. 48 hours later, Nate returned to the home to read the results, which returned much higher than the EPA's recommended 4 pCi/L. The two then worked to find the best day for the project to be installed. 

A month or so later, our Foreman, Geno M, and his Co-Foreman, Gus R, were headed out to the home to install the system. When they finished the project, our customer was thrilled to know that he was one step closer to fresh air circulating his home!

In Onalaska, WI, a homeowner learned that radon is a toxic gas that can be found in the home. Concerned about the health risks, such as developing lung cancer, the homeowner decided to test their home for radon. In a couple of days, the test results were above 4pCi/L, which is the recommended action level for radon by the EPA. The homeowner quickly took action by looking into radon mitigation installers in the area and found us. After browsing through our website and becoming impressed by our reviews, the homeowner scheduled their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Chuck H., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough 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. Chuck recommended installing the fan in the exterior of the home and having it connect beneath the concrete floor in the basement. After reviewing the proposal, 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 the crew successfully installed the radon mitigation system, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Eleva, WI, recently read an article discussing the dangers of radon. Worried they had high levels, the homeowner began looking into "radon testing and mitigation services 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 the Design Specialist, Mitch. Mitch's property arrived at the home and began the radon test. While the radon test was being completed, Mitch searched for the best place to install the Radon Mitigation System. Once the test was completed, it confirmed the levels were alarmingly high. To lower these levels, Mitch recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System on the outside of the home. The homeowner agreed and worked with Mitch to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew traveled to the home to install the system. Dakota and his crew secured the Radon Mitigation System on the southwest side of the home. Once the system was secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind knowing their radon levels were lowered.
