Before & After Photos

Jeffrey H. in Champlin, 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’ website. 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, Jeremy Radtke, to his home to set up the test. The results showed that Jeffrey did in fact have unsafe levels of radon in his home. Jeremy explained the risks of not having a radon mitigation system installed and he walked Jeffrey through the installation process. Jeffrey 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 under the stairs 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 mitigation test results showed that his home was now a much safer environment. The installation took only one day to complete, and Jeffrey is glad he took action to protect his and his family’s health.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that has become the second leading cause of lung cancer. Naomi R. in Norwood Young America, MN learned that radon kills over 20,000 people each year and she realized that they had not had their home tested yet. Naomi had used us in the past to repair her foundation and had a pleasant experience, so she contacted us again to have her home tested for radon. One of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, went to her home to set up the radon test and give her a free estimate. The results showed that her home did in fact have high levels of radon, so Jeremy recommended that they have our radon mitigation system installed. Naomi was eager to have the system installed to protect their health and reduce their chances of getting lung cancer.

Our production team installed the radon mitigation system by inserting a PVC pipe through her sump pump which creates a suction point for the gas. The PVC pipe runs up the house and through the roof. There is a fan installed at the top of the PVC pipe to ensure that the gas is pushed out and away from the home. After each installation, we do a second radon test to ensure that the radon mitigation system is working properly and expelling the radon from the home. The second test reported that Naomi’s home now had significantly lower levels of radon. She is glad that her home is now protected from this harmful, radioactive gas, and that she took action to protect her and her family’s health.

Randy I. of Stanchfield, MN had high radon levels in his home and he was looking to get a radon mitigation system installed in his home. He found American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor, so he got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Michel, went to his house, inspected his space, and determined a plan for where to install the system. Randy was confident in Michel's proposal and signed the contract. 

Our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew member, Geno, installed our radon mitigation system from his utility room, through the garage, to the attic, and up through the roof. The purpose of our mitigation system is to pull radon from within the home and expel it outside of the house. Randy was happy with the crew and the work that was performed!

Collin M. of Saint Michael, MN wanted to get a Radon Mitigation System installed, so he researched contractors on Angi's List. He came across American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Jesse. Jesse went to Collin's house, inspected the home, wrote out a quote, and answered all of Collin's questions. Collin was confident in Jesse's proposal, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Geno, and his crew installed our Radon Mitigation System outside of the home from the utility room. This system is designed to pull radon from the house and expel it outside of the home into the open air. The installation only took a few hours and Collin's radon levels dropped tremendously.

Louis G. of Plato, MN had radon levels of 15 pCi/L. The Evionrmental Protection Agency recommends that if your levels are above 4 pCi/L, you should get a Radon Mitigation System installed in your home so you are breathing healthy air. He worked with our Design Specialist, Jesse, to determine a plan of where to install the system. After a thorough meeting with Jesse, Louis signed his contract and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew member installed our Radon Mitigation System from the utility room to the outside of the home, followed by the cover. The mitigation system is the heart of the system. If it isn't working properly, radon will not be able to escape the home. After the project was completed, Louis gave our crew a 10 and said they did a good job!
