Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

In Wykoff, MN, a homeowner had read an article that went over radon gas and how it is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US. Concerned that their family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic gas, the homeowner went to their local hardware store to purchase a radon testing kit. After a couple of days, the test results were above 4pCi/L, and the homeowner quickly took action by contacting us and scheduling their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Brad W., arrived at the home for the 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. Brad also explained to the homeowner that was good to take action when you notice the radon levels in your home are high, as it is a naturally occurring gas that comes from the soil beneath the foundation. Brad recommended installing our fan on the exterior of the home and connecting it to the concrete flooring via PVC pipe. Confident in our team, 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 our system was successfully installed, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A current customer from Plainview, MN had several of our products installed throughout the basement of her home. During one of her annual maintenance visits, one of our Service Technicians expressed concern that her home might be subject to Radon gas. He explained that this hazardous, invisible, and odorless gas was the second leading cause of lung cancer behind cigarette smoking. She agreed to have her home checked using one of our leave-behind kits. Our Service Tech, Darin, set up the kit and after 48-72 hours she sent it in to obtain the results, which came back at 5.1 pCi/L. Once her results came back, Darin explained to her that The Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking action for anything above 4 pCi/L. He went on to explain that her 1 pCi/L of Radon is equivalent to smoking 2.5 cigarettes. When she wondered what could be done, Darin suggested having a Radon Mitigation system installed. He explained to her that once the system was installed, it would work to pull Radon from the house, pipe it upwards through venting, and push it out and away from the home. She agreed with Darin's recommendation and work began shortly after. Our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew quickly and efficiently installed the system and now our customer can go back to enjoying her home without worries about toxic Radon gas pollution! 

Barbara B in Eyota, MN learned about the dangers of radon gas. She had not yet had her home tested and once she learned that radon causes 15% of the world's lung cancer cases and kills over 20,000 people each year, she wanted to get her home tested right away.

She contacted American Waterworks and we sent our Design Specialist, Dustin Loftus, to her home to set up a radon test kit. The results showed that she did have high levels of radon and we recommended that we install a radon mitigation system to ensure that the majority of the radon entering her home would be sucked through a PVC pipe and discharged from her home. 

Our crew 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. A fan is also installed at the top of the PVC pipe where the gas is vented out to ensure that the gas is pushed away from the home. Barbara now has peace of mind knowing that her family is protected from this dangerous gas.
