Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Grafton, ND, read an article discussing radon and its harmful effects on people. Radon is an odorless, tasteless, and invisible gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Worried about their home's levels, the homeowner began looking into "radon gas experts". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal company for their project. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Derek. A few weeks later, Derek promptly arrived at the home and started his thorough inspection. Derek began by starting a radon test. While the radon test was being completed, Derek began searching for the best place to install the Radon Mitigation System. After the test was completed, it confirmed that the levels were alarmingly high. Derek recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System on the south side of the home. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Derek's proposal.  Next, Derek sent the proposal to our Logisitics team to give the final stamp of approval. Once the plans were approved, our Logisitics team assigned the project to our Radon Sales & Service Technician, Jackson. The following month, Jackson traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Jackson started by prepping the items for installation. Once the items were ready, Jackson installed the Radon Mitigation System outside the home. Once the Radon Mitigation System was secured, Jackson cleaned up his materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by Jackson, so they left a five-star review. American Waterworks is delighted to assist its homeowners in eliminating their radon issue.

The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Tony. About a week later, Tony arrived at the home and started the appointment. First, Tony placed a radon test to discover the homes' radon levels. While the radon test was being completed, Tony began looking for the best place to install the Radon Mitigation System. After the test was completed, it showed that the levels were alarmingly high. To eliminate the threat, Tony recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System in front of the home. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the recommendations. Next, Tony passed the proposal to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Once the plans were approved, the project was scheduled with our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew. A few weeks later, Dakota and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation.

Fred from Cavalier, ND had been reading up on the side effects of radon gas. Fred had read that levels are higher in the Midwest than in other portions of the region, and was afraid for the lung safety of his household, should there be hazardous radon gas present. He did some research about companies that could help and found our North Dakota branch. When he called our office, we set him up with our FREE estimate by one of our Design Specialists. A few weeks later, a member of our Design Specialist team, Evan, headed out to the property to complete a radon test, which after 46-72 hours, came back showing high, hazardous levels of radon in the home. Evan explained that while the levels were high, our company could install a radon mitigation system both inside and outside of the home that would work to pull radon from the home and pipe it upwards and out of the home. Fred quickly agreed and work began some weeks after. 

Our Foreman, Zach, and his team worked quickly to install the system, and when the work was completed, Fred was happy to know that the air in his home was safe to breathe!

Anne L. and her husband in Mankato, MN had recently purchased a home and their realtor recommended that they have the home tested for radon before they move in. After learning that radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer for non-smokers and kills over 21,000 people each year, they started looking for a company to test their home, so they would not be putting their health at risk. Their realtor recommended using American Waterworks, so they gave us a call and we sent our one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to set up the test. 48 hours later, Jeremy came back to read the test results. He discovered that their house did in fact have high levels of radon. Jeremy recommended that they have our radon mitigation system installed as soon as possible and they agreed.

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 post radon mitigation test showed a drastic reduction in radon gas, and they were relieved that their health would not be compromised. The installation only took one day to complete, and now they can rest easy knowing that their home is protected.

A homeowner from Arlington, MN got in contact with us when they learned of hazardous radon gas and wanted to have their home tested to make sure the air they were breathing was healthy. They searched for a company that deals with Radon and came across our website. They decided to take advantage of our FREE, no-obligation estimate into the issue. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kevin, headed out to the property to assess the situation. Part of Kevin's visit was leaving a Radon test kit in the basement of the home. Once the Radon test kit had sat in the basement long enough, the sample was sent in for evaluation. The numbers can back reading 12.7 pCi/L, which is extremely high. The EPA recommends taking action on any radon levels over 4 pCi/L. Kevin let the homeowners know that while the numbers were high, our Radon mitigation system would bring those numbers way down to inhabitable conditions. He went on to say that the mitigation system works to pull radon from the home, piping it upwards, and expelling it out through the top of the home, and out and away from the house. The homeowners agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Geno, and his team make quick work of the installation. Once the job was completed, the homeowner was thrilled to know that they could take a breath of relief with clean air.
