Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Zumbrota, MN, had recently learned about the dangers of radon gas and the hazards it poses to a household. He was afraid that his loved ones were being exposed to this hazardous gas, so he decided to find a radon mitigation specialist in Minnesota. After finding our website, he looked through our radon gas mitigation pictures and decided to claim his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mac C, was headed out to the home. 

When Mac arrived, he discovered that the homeowner had conducted an at-home radon test, which indicated higher-than-normal levels. So, Mac began his process by scouting out the best location for a mitigation system. When he was finished, he met with the homeowner. He began by saying that the homeowner was right to call us, explaining that radon is invisible, odorless, colorless, and tasteless, making it completely undetectable without proper testing. Mac went on to say that because the levels in the home were so high, he recommended a radon mitigation system. He explained that 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 Mac's approach and signed on the spot. 

When the day of the project rolled around, our Foreman, Dakota, led his team through a flawlessly executed radon mitigation system installation. 

Sandra N. in Albert Lea, MN had her home tested for radon. When the results came back with high levels, she gave American Waterworks a call. Our Design Specialist, Reed Hudson, developed a plan that was unique to her home. 

Our Foreman, Dakota Merchlewitz, started the installation process by drilling a hole in the slab foundation of the home and connected a PVC pipe. The radon gas is drawn upward, and the pipe guides it to the fan. The fan draws and vents radon safely above and away from the home. Sandra is glad she took the necessary steps to protect herself and her family.

Robert K. of Albert Lea, MN got his home tested for radon and his levels came back at 19.5 pCi/L. The Environmental Protection Agency requests that homes with above 4 pCi/L must take action right away. So, Robert did, and he called American Waterworks to set up an appointment after finding out we provide services for Radon Mitigation. Our Design Specialist, Michel, went to Robert's home and drew up a map and plan to install our Radon Mitigation System. Robert was confident in the price and product, so he went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Geno, and his crew member started the installation by drilling a hole in the basement concrete floor, forming a suction point. The purpose of doing this is to pull radon out from underneath the home. From there, our team connected PVC piping until they got to the house exterior, where they installed the Radon Mitigation System. The system is the heart of the system. If the system isn't working, then radon is not escaping from the home. From there system, our team connected PVC piping along the siding of the home until they got to the roof, which is where radon escapes into the open air. Robert said our team was clean, they explained everything well, and they were very professional!

A homeowner from Albert Lea, MN, was chatting with his neighbor one day when he learned his neighbors had their home tested and mitigated for radon gas. The homeowner didn't know much about the dangers of radon gas but decided to find a specialist in the area to ease his concerns. When he found our website, he was impressed with the previous radon systems we had installed in his area and decided to claim his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Brad W, one of our Design Specialists, was headed to the home. 

When Brad headed out to the home, the first step in his process was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. Brad explained that the point of the test is to record the levels of radon in the home over a 48-hour timeframe, and at the end, deliver the average level of radon within the home. Brad went on to say that if the test came back with a level higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider installing a radon mitigation system. Brad explained that 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 Brad's plan but decided to wait until the radon results returned. When the test results came back, they were well above the recommended 4 pCi/L, so the homeowner and Brad worked together to find the right date for the installation. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team were able to effortlessly install the mitigation system in the home. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing that his home is only circulating the cleanest air! 

A homeowner from River Falls, WI, had been chatting with his neighbor when he learned that the neighbor had his home tested for radon gas. The homeowner didn't know much about radon but figured he should have his home tested for radon just to be on the safe side. He took to the internet to search for 'radon mitigation company near me', and quickly found our website. He was impressed with our radon mitigation system pictures and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Gary S, one of our Design Specialist, was scheduled to stop at the home. 

When Gary arrived, he got right to work placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. The goal of this test is to gauge radon levels over a 48 hour timespan, giving Gary a good idea of the average radon levels within the home at any given time. When Gary finished, he met with the homeowner to discuss next steps. Gary explained that radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that is emitted from the breakdown of soil surrounding the home. He went on to say that if the levels came back over 4 pCi/L, he would strongly recommend having a radon mitigation system installed. 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. When installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon abatement system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner agreed with Gary's recommendation but decided to wait for the radon levels to return before making a choice. A few days later, the results returned with much higher than normal levels. So the homeowner called Gary and the two worked together to find a good day for the system to be installed. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team were able to install the system with no complications. Now, our homeowner can be confident that the air he and his family were breathing was as clean as possible!
