High Levels of Radon Gas Eliminated in Saint Paul Park, MN

A homeowner from Saint Paul Park, MN, had just learned about the dangers of radon gas. While she admittedly knew very little about the gas, that didn't stop her from heading to her local home improvement store to purchase a radon gas test. After conducting the test at home, she was shocked when the levels in her home returned higher than normal. She quickly decided to find a radon specialist in MN. When she found our website, she claimed her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brad W, was headed out to the home. 

When Brad arrived, he got right to work scouting out a place for a radon mitigation system. When he finished his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner. Brad began by saying that the homeowner was right to get in touch with us. Brad explained that radon gas is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that comes from the breakdown of soil surrounding your home's foundation. It enters your home through small cracks and holes in the foundation, and silently wreaks havoc on the lining of the lungs. Brad finished by saying that radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, claiming 21,000 lives annually. Brad could tell the homeowner was growing uneasy, so he reassured her that we could help. Brad strongly urged the homeowner to install a radon mitigation systemA 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 was thrilled with Brad's solution and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dakota M, was able to effortlessly place the radon mitigation system. Now, our customer is thrilled to know the air circulating in her home was only the cleanest!

Waterproofing in Waseca, MN

Judy F. in Waseca, MN contacted American Waterworks after being referred to us by a previous satisfied customer. She wanted to finish the bedroom in the basement, but the current sump pump was unable to keep up after heavy rains. Water was pooling on the floor, and she needed a permanent solution. Our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, met with Judy and proposed our WaterGuard drainage system and provided her with our sump pump options. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system, our SuperSump sump pump, and our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls. The combination of these products ensures that any water seepage will be guided through the WaterGuard, to the sump pump, and from there will be discharged from the home. 

PolyLevel Installation in Waseca, MN

A homeowner in Waseca, MN was tired of dealing with the state of his sunken concrete walkway. Over time as the slabs had continued sinking, a large gap had formed between the front stoop and walkway. He was worried about people leaving from the front door and losing balance from how deep the step down was. For a temporary solution, he made a homemade third step out of wood, but knew that a permanent solution should be made. During his search online for concrete repair companies he found many positive American Waterworks reviews and was interested in signing up for one of our FREE estimate appointments. We sent Design Specialist Mike Dexter to the home where he inspected the area and gave his recommendations. Mike explained that our PolyLevel solution was the perfect way to lift the sidewalk slabs back up and eliminate the height gap. The homeowner agreed to the plans, and they were approved and sent over to Foreman Patrick Burnes and his crew. When the crew went to the site, they installed the PolyLevel as well as our NexusPro sealant for the joints, resulting in a smooth surface again. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and glad he found our services.
