Hazardous Radon Levels in Northfield, MN

A Northfield, MN, resident had just learned about radon and the dangers it could pose to his family. He decided to look for reputable radon contractors in MN and eventually found our website. He was impressed by the work we had done in his area and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. A few weeks later, one of our Design Specialists, Darin S, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Part of Darin's inspection was leaving behind a radon charcoal test on the lower level of the home. This test works to gauge the average radon levels in the home over a period of 48 hours, after which time homeowners are responsible for sending their tests to a pre-determined business that delivers the results. Darin explained that while radon can be dangerous, American Waterworks can offer a solution. If the results came back higher than 4 piC/L, Darin wanted to install a radon mitigation system. He explained that these machines work to pull dangerous radon from the home, piping it upward through PVC to the top of the home, where it expels the radon out and away from the home. The homeowner liked the sound of Darin's suggestion but decided to wait until their radon test came back. 

When the test returned, the homeowner decided to install the mitigation system. On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dakota M, and his team installed the system in no time. Now, our customer can breathe easier knowing he has clean air circulating in his home!
