Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Bloomington, MN, had learned that radon is a toxic gas that comes from the ground and enters the home. Concerned that their family was breathing in the toxic fumes, the homeowner purchased a radon testing kit. After several days, the test results were above 4pCi/L, and the homeowner decided to contact us and schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Justin M., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the home and worked closely with the homeowner on the best placement for our radon mitigation system. They agreed that the best placement would be having the PVP pipe installed in the footing of the home and connect to the fan that would be installed at the exterior. The homeowner happily agreed to the recommendation and decided to schedule the installation date.

In about a month, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. After the successful installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Kyle W. of Minneapolis, MN had a radon level of 4.1 pCi/L. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 4 pCi/L is the "action level", which means that it needs to be mitigated as soon as possible. Kyle found American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor, so he contacted our office staff and set up a day to get one of our Exterior Radon Mitigation Systems installed. Our Design Specialist, Michel, went to Kyle's home, inspected the exterior of his house, and designed a detailed plan for where to install the system as well as the cost. Kyle was confident in the quote and the design, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foremen, Dakota and Geno, installed the system from the inside utility room to the house exterior. The purpose of the mitigation system is to pull radon from underneath the home and expose it into the open air outside of the home. The installation only took a few hours and Kyle was very happy with the work that was completed.

A couple from Minneapolis, MN, had been watching TV one evening when they saw one of our TV ads about radon mitigation. They had previously had their crawl space sealed by our company and figured having their home tested for radon gas wouldn't hurt. They called our office and set up their FREE estimate and several weeks later, Nate B, one of our Design Specialists, was out at the home. 

When Nate arrived, the first portion of his inspection required him to leave a charcoal radon test in the home's lowest level. The purpose of this test is to record the radon levels in the house, delivering the average results at the end of the test. He then proceeded with his inspection. When he concluded, he met with the homeowner. He began by commending her for having her home tested for radon. Nate then went on to say that radon is a radioactive gas emitted from the breakdown of soil surrounding your home. It finds its way into your home through small holes and cracks in the foundation of your home, silently wreaking havoc on your lungs. Nate explained that radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind cigarette smoking, claiming 21,000 lives annually. For this reason, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking action on any level over 4 pCi/L. Nate finished by saying that if the levels returned higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider a radon mitigation system. 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 liked the sound of Nate's plan but decided to hold off on choosing until the results returned. About a week or so later the results returned much higher than 4 pCi/L, so the homeowner called Nate, and the two found the best day to have the system installed. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team effortlessly placed the system within the home, successfully restoring our customer's faith in her space!

Josh L. in Minneapolis, MN discovered the adverse effects that radon gas has on people's health and he became concerned because his home had not yet been tested. He started looking for a company to test his home, and he came across American Waterworks at a local home show. He was glad to see that along with concrete repair, basement waterproofing and foundation repair, we also offer radon testing and mitigation. He gave us a call and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to his home to set up the test. 48 hours later, Shane returned to read the results. The results showed that Josh did in fact have unsafe levels of radon in his home. Shane explained the risks of not having a radon mitigation system  installed and he walked Josh through the installation process. Josh wanted to have the system installed as soon as possible, so they scheduled the project. 

Our radon mitigation specialists drilled a hole through the concrete in the basement to create a suction point for the gas. Then, a PVC pipe is inserted which goes up through the house and exits the home through the roof. A fan is installed at the top of the PVC pipe to ensure that the radon gas is being pushed away from the home. The installation took only one day to complete, and Josh is glad he took action to protect his and his family’s health.
