Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

In Guttenberg, IA, a homeowner discovered that radon is a naturally occurring gas that emanates from the soil beneath the home as it decays. The gas would then enter through cracks on the floor, windows, and increase the levels inside the home. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US, making it important for homeowners to test their radon levels every 2-5 years. After learning this, 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 and found us. Impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted our Appointment Center to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ryan M., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, Ryan took a close look at the home's layout to determine the best placement for our radon mitigation system. Ryan recommended having the fan installed on the exterior of the home and connecting the fan to the concrete flooring in the basement with PVC piping. Confident with our team, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

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

A homeowner from Winona, MN, had been listening to the radio when she heard a warning about radon gas. She knew very little about the dangers that radon gas can pose to a household. She decided that it was better to be safe than sorry, and vowed to find a radon mitigation company to test her home. When she found our website, she signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nate B, was headed out to the home. 

When Nate arrived, he began his inspection by placing a charcoal radon test on the lowest level of the home. Nate explained to the homeowner that this test is comprised of an airtight container with activated charcoal being opened in the home and radon in the air absorbed into the charcoal granules, giving our team an accurate reading of the radon within the home. Nate went on to say that, should the results return higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider installing 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 Adam's approach but decided to wait until the results returned to make a choice. A few short days later, the results returned at 8 pCi/L, double the levels recommended by the EPA. The homeowner called Adam and the two worked together to find a day for our team to come back to install the system. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Dakota M, was headed to the home. Dakota and his team were able to seamlessly place the radon system in the home, successfully restoring our customer's peace of mind in the air circulating the home! 

A customer from Lansing, IA got in contact with us when they began to fear that their home may be inhibited by Radon, a colorless, odorless, naturally occurring gas that comes from the breakdown and decay of the soil that surrounds the foundation of the home. When our customer called in, we set them up with a FREE no-obligation estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jarrett, headed out to the property to see what could be done. He began by performing a 48-hour charcoal test, which he left behind to monitor the levels of Radon in the home. Once completed, the home was found to have unsafe levels of Radon. Jarrett recommended the installation of a Radon mitigation system and the couple agreed. 

Our Production crew, led by Dakota, installed the system in no time. Now, our customers don't need to worry about breathing hazardous gas in their home! 

A homeowner in Harpers Ferry, IA, recently read an article discussing the dangers of radon gas. Concered by this discovery, the homeowner looked into a "radon abatement system." One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so 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, Brad. A few days later, Brad traveled to the home to begin the thorough inspection. During the inspection, Brad began a radon test. While the test was being completed, Brad searched for the best place to secure the Radon Mitigation System. The test was completed, and the results showed the levels were dangerously high. To prevent the issue from worsening, Brad suggested securing a Radon Mitigation system. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Brad to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Gus, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Gus and his crew started by securing a Radon Mitigation System on the outside of the home. Once the Radon Mitigation System was secured, the crew shifted to cleaning up their matierals and leaving the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew.

Jen S. in Dodge, WI was selling her home and needed a radon mitigation system installed. Her realtor recommended American Waterworks, and we sent our Design Specialist, Kevin Kreofsky, to design a system that was unique to her home.

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.
