Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

A customer in Fargo, ND, contacted us with concerns about possible Radon being prevalent in her home. Our Design Specialist, Ian, went to the property and completed a charcoal test to gauge the levels in her home. After 5 days, Ian returned to gather the test. Once the results came back, Ian found out that the levels in the house were 6.2 pCi/L. The Nation Radon Defense suggests taking action with levels of 4 pCi/L or more. Ian recommended that she invest in a Radon mitigation system to keep herself and her household safe and healthy. Our Foreman, Cameron, went out to the property to install the mitigation system. Our team will check back with the customer in the future to ensure that her Radon mitigation system is still working hard to keep her home safe!

A Moorhead, MN, man had just learned of the dangers that radon gases pose to households. He wanted to ensure the safety of his family, so he headed to a local home improvement store to pick up a short-term radon test. After following the instructions on the package, he was alarmed to find out that the radon level in his home was 5 pCi/L. He didn't want his family to breathe in unhealthy air for longer than necessary, so he began to look for a radon mitigation company that could give him more radon gas information. Through his search, he found our website and signed up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Jackson P, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once he finished his inspection, Jackson was ready to discuss the next steps with the homeowner. Jackson informed the homeowner that he wanted to install a radon mitigation system. When installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon abatement 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. Before installing a radon mitigation system, the contractor will run a radon test to determine if radon abatement is necessary. 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 agreed with Jackson's recommendations and scheduled the job for some time later. 

On the day of the project, Jackson returned to install the system. He completed the project with no complications. Now, our customer can confidently breathe fresh air circulating in his home!

A homeowner in Moorhead, MN recently learned of the dangerous health risks with radon. He learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, a naturally occurring radioactive element which can be found in soil. Concerned that his family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes, the homeowner decided to use a radon testing kit. After a couple of days the results were over 4 pCi/L and the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate.

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, James N., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, James explained to the homeowner that it was good that he tested his home for radon as we cannot smell, taste, hear, see, or touch it. James then created a design to where our radon mitigation system would be installed. After looking at the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and scheduled the installation date.

In a couple of weeks, our Radon Sales & Service Technician, Jackson P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began the installation by installing a PVC pipe into the footing of the home. The pipe is then connected to the radon mitigation system which is installed outside of the home. Once the crew was done with the installation and they ensured everything was working properly, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer and his family can breathe in fresh clean air! When was the last time you tested the radon levels of your home? Schedule your FREE estimate today by clicking HERE!

A homeowner in Morgan, MN, recently read an article discussing radon and how it is dangerous in your home. Radon is an odorless, tasteless, and invisible gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Concerned about the levels in their home, the homeowner began looking into "dangerous levels of radon". One of the first articles to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner read our article discussing the dangers of radon. The homeowner noted that we also provided Radon Mitigation services. After reading the article, the homeowner was impressed with our excellent knowledge and radon mitigation services, so they signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Eric. The following week, Eric traveled to the home to begin the estimate. Eric arrived at the home and started the radon test. While the radon test was being completed, Eric began scouting for the best location to place the Radon Mitigation System. After the test finished, Eric reviewed the results and saw that the levels were above 4 pCi. To lower the levels, Eric recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System outside the home. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the recommendations. Our Logistics team received the plans, then they were built and scheduled for a few weeks later. The project was scheduled with our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew, then they went to the home to begin the installation. Dakota installed the Radon Mitigation System along the west wall. Our Radon Mitigation System consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. After Dakota installed the Radon Mitigation System, he and his crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was glad to know their radon risk was eliminated. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their radon risk is eliminated. 

Andrew W. of Raymond, MN got his home tested for radon and his radon levels came back between 11 and 16 pCi/L. He wanted to get a quote for a Radon Mitigation System installed in his home, so he contacted American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Jesse Williams. Jesse went to Andrew's home, drew out a plan for where the system should be installed, and determined the price of the system. After a thorough discussion, Andrew felt confident in Jesse's plan, so he moved forward with the project and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Geno Mclain, and his crew installed PVC piping from the basement, up, until they got to the outside of the home. At that point, they installed our Radon Mitigation System, which is the heart of the system. If the system isn't working, then radon is not being pulled from within the home. Each system is different depending on the structure of the home, which is something that the Design Specialist will discuss with the homeowner. Andrew was happy with the installation and had a great experience with our crew.
