In Mankato, MN, a homeowner recently came upon an article that went over the health risks that radon poses and how it could be found in any household. Concerned their family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic gas, the homeowner decided to purchase a radon testing kit. After a couple of days, the test results were above 4pCi/L, which is the recommended action level for radon by the EPA. They soon took action and contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Nate C., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection. During the inspection, Nate took a close look at the layout of the home, determining the best placement for our radon mitigation system. He recommended having our fan installed on the exterior of the home and having it connect to the concrete floor in the basement. This is designed this way so that our system can suction out the radon-rich gas and expel it above the roofline before it can enter the home. Happy with the recommendations, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Dakota M., arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by drilling into the concrete floor. Then, piping is installed and connected to the exterior of the home. Once this is completed, the fan is installed outside of the home and additional piping is installed to have it go above the roofline. Everything is then secured and our crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

In Mankato, MN, a homeowner was growing more concerned about his homes unstable foundation. Over the years the homeowner could swear the wall began to look like it was bulging in the middle, a clear sign of bowing. Unsure of the causes of foundation failure, the homeowner decided to search for a foundation repair contractor near Mankato, MN. After talking to friends and family, the homeowner decided to claim his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist was headed out to the home to complete his inspection. 

When he finished, he met with the homeowner to report his findings. Our Design Specialist began by stating that foundation walls are designed to withstand pressure from above, not from the side. When pressure on the side of the wall becomes too much for it to withstand, it's not uncommon to see sings of a foundation problem like cracking, bowing, or tilting. He went on to say that we could straighten the wall with the use of our GeoLock wall anchors. These unique wall anchors counteract pressure being put on the wall by anchoring the bowing wall to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation. Over time, these anchors provide the option to be further tightened to further straighten walls. The homeowner liked the sound of our plan, and scheduled his project on the spot. 

On the day of the installation our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew installed 6 of our GeoLock anchors along the problem wall, effectively ending our customers worries for his failing foundation.
