Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

Chad from Fort Ransom, ND was looking to have an active radon system with a fan added to his home. After scheduling his FREE estimate, our Design Specialist Ian headed out to the property. After his inspection, he expressed concern that the 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. Chad agreed to have the home checked using one of our leave-behind kits. We set up the kit, and after 48-72 hours, it was sent in to obtain the results; these came back at 10.0 pCi/L. Ian explained that The Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking action for anything above 4 pCi/L. He went on to explain that 1 pCi/L of Radon is equivalent to smoking 2.5 cigarettes. 

Ian suggested having a new extraction point installed to depressurize the home. He explained 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. Chad agreed with Ian's recommendation, and work began shortly after. Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew quickly and efficiently installed the system.

First, The SuperSump Plus was added with a Zoeller 1/2HP sump pump for more power. In addition to this, the plan was to add a discharge line that would ensure the radon went up and out of the house.

Our team connected PVC piping from the sump pump to the ceiling and out of the home, where our team installed the system. The mitigation system is the heart of the system; if it isn't working properly, no radon will be able to escape the home. Once they installed the system and its cover outside the home, they connected PVC piping from the system alongside the home until it reached the roof. The radon was able to escape the home quickly and efficiently. Chad was glad he got this taken care of, and his peace of mind was restored knowing he was breathing in safe air. 

A customer from Rushmore, MN, contacted us when they suspected they might have a Radon gas present in their home. Our crew went out to the property and the Design Specialist, Kevin, recommended that the customer invests in a Radon mitigation system because of the high levels of Radon he found to be prevalent in the home. Our Foreman, Dakota, worked to install the system and will follow up with the customer if further issues present themselves. Our Radon mitigation systems work to suck the Radon out of the area, pipe it upwards, and expel the gas out and away from the home. 

Dan R. in Ivanhoe, MN had learned about the dangers of radon gas and decided that he needed to get his home tested. The test results showed a high level of radon. Our Design Specialist walked him through the radon mitigation installation process and answered his questions. Dan wanted to act quickly and moved forward with an installation date.

During the installation process, our Foreman, Dakota Merchlewitz, 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. Dan is relieved that he took the necessary steps to make sure his family's health is no longer compromised.

A homeowner in Ivanhoe, MN, had recently learned of the health risk that radon poses in households. Concerned that their family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes, the homeowner decided to look into radon mitigation system installers in the area and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our 5-star reviews, the homeowner decided to contact our Appointment Center to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Kevin B., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the home and noticed their sump pump was struggling to remove excess water. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, he created a tailored solution. First, he showed the best placement for our radon mitigation system, and recommended replacing the sump pump with our SuperSump+ and installing 1 IceGuard. Confident in our team and products, 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. After successfully installing the products, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Lisbon, ND, was watching television one evening when they took note of an advertisment discussing the dangers of radon. Worried about their home's levels, the homeowner knew they wanted answers. Radon is an odorless, tasteless, and invisible gas that is harmful to all members of a household. Concerned their levels were above the recommended 4pCi/l, the homeowner called their local radon mitigation contractor, American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. We sent our Design Specialist, Ian, to the home to take a closer look. Ian set the test and began looking for the best extraction point. Once the test was completed, it showed the levels were higher than 4pCI/l. Ian recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System, and the homeowner agreed. The install date was sent, then our Logisitics team assigned the project to our Radon Sales and Service Technician, Jackson. The following month, Jackson arrived at the home and began the Radon Mitigation installation. Jackson installed the Radon Mitigation System on the south side of the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their radon risk was eliminated. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners with peace of mind.
