Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Dundee, MN, was at a home improvement store one day when he spotted an at-home radon gas testing kit. He didn't know much about the dangerous gas but decided to test his home nonetheless. He was surprised when the test came back with higher than normal levels. The homeowner was uneasy about his family breathing in the gas and decided to consult a specialist about the problem. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Kevin B, one of our Design Specialists, was headed to the home. 

Knowing the home had high radon levels, Kevin focused his inspection on finding a good space for a mitigation system, should the customer want to move forward. When he finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner. He explained that radon gas is a radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of soil around your home's foundation. It finds its way into your space through holes and cracks in the foundation, silently wreaking havoc on the lining of the lungs. Kevin went on to say that radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind cigarette smoking, claiming 21,000 lives annually. Kevin could tell the homeowner was growing uneasy, so he reassured him that while the situation was serious, American Waterworks could help. Kevin strongly urged the homeowner to address the problem with our 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 went on to say that, when installed by an experienced professional, a mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon in the interior of the home to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was relieved to know that Kevin had a solution for his household. He needed a few weeks to think about the project but ended up calling Kevin to schedule an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Geno M, and his team arrived bright and early on the day of the project and got right to work. When they had finished installing the system, our homeowner was thrilled to know that his home was well on the way to circulating fresh air! 

A Tracy, MN, homeowner was chatting with his neighbor one day when he learned that his neighbor had his home tested and mitigated for dangerous radon gas. The homeowner knew very little about the dangers of radon gas, so he decided to find a radon specialist in Minnesota close to Tracy. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate.

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Tony B, was headed out to the home. When Tony arrived, the first article of business was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. This test records radon levels in the home over a 48-hour timeframe, delivering the average radon level after the test. Tony explained to the homeowner that the Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking action with any radon levels higher than 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter of air). He went on to say that, should the levels return higher than normal, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider a radon mitigation system, explaining 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 mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was thrilled with Tony's recommendation but decided to wait until the test came back to make a decision. 48 hours later, Tony was back at the home to read the results, which came back well above 4 pCi/L. The homeowner and Tony worked together to find the best installation date. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dakota M, led his team through a flawless radon mitigation system installation, successfully restoring the customer's peace of mind in the air circulating the home!

A homeowner in Wahpeton, ND, recently watched a documentary on the dangers of radon. Worried their home has high radon levels, the homeowner began searching for "radon testing and mitigation near me". At the top of the search results stood us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner took a closer look at our radon mitigation services. After taking a closer look, the homeowner knew our company was the best choice for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate details were finalized, we sent one of our Design Specialists, James, to the home to test the levels. A few days later, James traveled to the home to begin the test. Once James arrived, he introduced himself to the homeowner and then began the radon test. While the test was being completed, James completed a full inspection of the home. During the inspection, James found the best placement for the Radon Mitigation System. After the test was completed, it showed that the levels were above the recommended level of 4 pCi/L. To lower these levels, James recommended installing our Radon Mitigation System outside the home. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with James' proposal. After the proposal details were finalized by our Logistics team, the project was assigned to our Radon Sales & Service Technician, Jackson. A few weeks later, Jackson arrived at the home and began the Radon Mitigation System installation. Radon mitigation is also referred to as "radon abatement" and "radon reduction". Our radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA. After Jackson installed the system, he cleaned up his materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their radon risk was eliminated. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their radon levels are at a safe level.
