Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

Randy N., a resident of Willmar, MN, got his radon levels tested and the result came out to be 6.8 pCi/L. Our Design Specialist, Kevin, set him up with an installation date and walked him through a plan of our Radon Mitigation System. These systems are made to pull radon from within the home and release it outside through pipes. 

Our crew of Dakota and Geno began the installation by drilling a hole into the basement concrete floor, creating a suction point. From there, our crew installed a PVC pipe from the whole, which created a vent for the radon gas. They connected the pipe to the radon fan outside of the home (which is the Mitigation System itself). The fan is the heart of the system. If it fails, the radon will remain in the home. From the fan, our team connected more PVC piping along the siding of the home until it reached open air above the roof. To complete the installation, Geno and Dakota performed a final walkthrough with Randy and ensured all of his questions were answered.

Andrew W. of Raymond, MN got his home tested for radon and his radon levels came back between 11 and 16 pCi/L. He wanted to get a quote for a Radon Mitigation System installed in his home, so he contacted American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Jesse Williams. Jesse went to Andrew's home, drew out a plan for where the system should be installed, and determined the price of the system. After a thorough discussion, Andrew felt confident in Jesse's plan, so he moved forward with the project and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Geno Mclain, and his crew installed PVC piping from the basement, up, until they got to the outside of the home. At that point, they installed our Radon Mitigation System, which is the heart of the system. If the system isn't working, then radon is not being pulled from within the home. Each system is different depending on the structure of the home, which is something that the Design Specialist will discuss with the homeowner. Andrew was happy with the installation and had a great experience with our crew.

A Raymond, MN, homeowner had just learned of the dangers of radon gas. He didn't want his family to be victim to the hazardous gas, so he began to look for radon mitigators in MN. After searching the internet, he found our website. After looking through our radon mitigation pictures, he signed up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Jesse W, headed out to the home. 

After Jesse finished his inspection, he informed the homeowner that he was recommended the installation of a radon mitigation system. 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. 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 agreed with Jesse's recommendation, and work was scheduled for some time later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Jackson P, headed out to the home. He was able to install the system with no issues. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing that his radon problem has been solved! 

Cassidy B. in Lynd, MN  had her home tested for radon. When the results came back high, she started doing some research. She was happy to learn that American Waterworks can easily give an estimate and install a radon mitigation system. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Reed Hudson, to meet with Cassidy, inspect her home, and design a customized system. 

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. Cassidy was impressed with the quick installation and is glad she took the necessary steps to protect her family. 

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.
