Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Mendota, MN contacted us because she was concerned about potentially having high radon levels. We scheduled an onsite inspection with one of our Design Specialists, Dustin Loftus, who tested her home and designed the plan for a mitigation system if one was needed. 

Her results came back at 6.8 pCi/L and the recommended action level is 4 pCi/l. She decided to move forward with the mitigation system to protect her and her loved one's health. Our Foreman, Dakota installed the system a couple of weeks later, and her post-install test results came back at 0.5 pCi/l. She was so relieved to be breathing healthy air again and was grateful we could help her so quickly! 

A couple from Minneapolis, MN contacted us when they moved into their new home and discovered that their Radon levels were above 4.0. The couple knew that dangerous Radon levels are dangerous to inhale and with a new baby on the way, didn't want to take any risks. They called into the office and used their FREE estimate to have one of our Design Specialists, Ryan, out to the house to assess the situation. When he arrived, Ryan informed the couple that Radon is a naturally occurring odorless gas that is caused by the breakdown and decay of the soil around the foundation of the home. He went on to say that Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer right behind cigarette smoking. Once the inspection was concluded, Ryan recommended the installation of a Radon mitigation system in the home. He explained to the couple that this system works to pull Radon from the home, pipe it upwards, and expel it outwards and away from the home through a vent. The couple agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Production crew, led by our Foreman, Dakota, installed the system in no time. Now the couple can expand their family without worry that their safe space may be inhibited by an invisible threat! 

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.

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.

Alex F. of Minneapolis, MN wanted to get a radon mitigation system installed because his test came back with 6.9 pCi/L. He did his research and found American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor. He got our radon mitigation system installed by our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew member, Geno. Dakota started the installation in the utility room to the garage and through the roof, where the radon was able to escape into the open air. The purpose of our radon mitigation system is to expose radon out of the house. It can be installed in several different locations on the property depending on the basement, crawl space, or concrete slab.
