Radon Mitigated in Mazeppa, MN

A homeowner from Mazeppa, MN, was chatting with his neighbor one morning when his neighbor informed him that he had his home tested for radon gas. The homeowner knew very little about the dangerous gas but decided perhaps he should have his home tested as well. His neighbor had told him that American Waterworks offers radon testing in MN, so the homeowner decided to call us and schedule his FREE estimate. In the meantime, the homeowner headed to his local home improvement store to buy an at-home radon test. When the results came back high, he was confident that he had made the right choice by contacting American Waterworks. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mac C, headed out to the home. He started the appointment by scouting the best place for a radon mitigation system for this home. When he finished, he met with the homeowner. Mac began by explaining that the homeowner had done the right thing by testing his home and calling us. Mac went on to say that the tricky thing about radon is that because it's odorless, colorless, and tasteless, it's impossible to know whether or not your home is infested without proper testing. Mac then went on to say that because the levels in the home were well above 4 pCi/Ls, he was recommending a radon mitigation system be installed in the home. He then 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 plan and scheduled the job for some time later. 

Eventually, the day of the installation rolled around. Our Foreman, Dakota M, was able to successfully install the radon mitigation system without any worries. Now, our homeowner can be confident that only the healthiest air is circulating in his home. 

 

 

Waterproofing Basement System Installation in Forest Lake, MN

Stephen W. in Forest Lake, MN had water seeping into his basement and he did not have a sufficient sump pump to discharge the water from the home. He saw one of our waterproofing advertisements and decided it would be a good idea to get a FREE estimate to waterproof his basement.

Our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, went to his home to inspect the situation and to develop a solution. Chad determined that the best way to ensure that Stephen would never have to worry about a wet basement would be to install WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and then install a SuperSump sump pump to properly expel the water to the outside. Stephen agreed that this was the right plan for his basement, so we sent a crew to install our system.

The installation took a couple of days, but Steven will reap the benefits of this system for a lifetime. Since the installation, he has had a dry, clean basement. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Stephen can rest easy knowing he invested in permanently protecting his home from water seeping into his home and causing damage.

Water Leaks in Forest Lake, MN Waterproofed

A homeowner in Forest Lake, MN, noticed that water was seeping through the joints where the wall and footing meet and was concerned for his home. Knowing he needed expert advice, the homeowner began searching for basement waterproofing services in Forest Lake, MN, and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our stellar reviews, the homeowner knew we were the right choice and contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Daniel R., and his crew arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection of the homeowner's concerns. During the inspection, Daniel noticed water stains along the floor and the walls. For this reason, Daniel recommended installing WaterGuard, our below-the-floor perimeter drainage system that collects water and sends it to the sump pump system, CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier that prevents water vapor from permeating the walls and channels any leaks to the drainage system, TripleSafe, our superior sump pump system that comes with three pumps in one unit, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the sump pump discharge pipes freeze. After reviewing Daniel's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Foreman, Jeromy A., and his crew arrived at the home to carry out the installation. The crew installed 92ft of WaterGuard, 49ft of our Half Wall CleanSpace, 1 TripleSafe, and 2 IceGuard. After they were done with the installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
