In Rochester, MN, a homeowner had just learned about radon gas dangers from her neighbor who had just had her home tested. Worried that she too could have radon problems, she decided to find rochester mn radon mitigation services from a company who could tell her the truth about radon. She learned her friend had American Waterworks out to test her home, so she decided to give us a call and set up her FREE estimate.

About a week or so later, our Design Specialist, Mitch Strain, was headed out to the home for an inspection. When Mitch arrived he listened to the customers concerns for her home, and then began his assessment. A large portion of our radon inspections include leaving a charcoal radon test in the lowest level of the house. This test works to gauge radon levels within the home over a period of time. When Mitch was satisfied with his findings, he sat down with the customer to go over the next steps. Mitch began by saying that the homeowner was correct to test her home for radon gas, especially if her neighbors home already tested high. He explained that radon gas is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is derived from the breakdown of soil surrounding a homes foundation, and can enter the home through porous holes and tiny cracks in the foundation. Mitch went on to say that this dangerous gas is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and completely undetectable without proper testing. Prolonged exposure to this toxic gas can be disastrous for your health, and the health of your household. Mitch then stated that, if the levels in the home returned higher than 4 pCi/L as recommended by the EPA, he would be recommending the installation of our radon gas mitigation systems. The homeowner wondered how a radon mitigation system works so Mitch informed her that our radon mitigation systems 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. The homeowner was pleased with Mitch's transparency, and the two decided to touch base when the results returned. When the results returned, they were much higher than the recommended levels set forth by the EPA, so the customer decided to move forward with the system. 

On the day of the installation our Foreman, Gus Ruiz, made quick work of the system install. Now our customer can host family for the holidays and confidently know the air circulating in her home is clean and healthy! 

An American Waterworks Service Technician, Glenn T, was performing an annual maintenance appointment on a Rochester, MN, home. The homeowner expressed to Glenn that she had concerns about the humidity in her crawl space. Glenn went to take a look at the space and measured the humidity of the space at 70%, the ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth, along with an increase in indoor airborne allergens, all of which could lead to severe health side effects. After Glenn was done with his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver her findings. 

Glenn explained why such a high humidity level should be dealt with, and elaborated on his recommendations. Glenn wanted to use several of our products to bring the humidity level down. First, Glenn recommended our CleanSpace and drainage matting. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp that gets applied directly to the walls of the crawl space and works to direct water entering through holes or cracks in the wall. The raised dimples on our CleanSpace® Drainage Matting gives the water flooding into your crawl space a channel underneath your crawl space liner. This directs the water flooding the crawl space to the SmartPipe crawl space drain, Tony's third product recommendation. The SmartPipe's custom design includes holes on the top and front to accept water from the soil and surface of your crawl space. A special wall flange collects water from the crawl space walls and the footing/wall joint. Finally, Tony wanted to install our AprilAire dehumidifier. Even a basement with an effective waterproofing system can still develop moisture and mold problems and may feel damp. Concrete walls and floors continually absorb moisture from the soil and release it into the air in your basement, and store-bought dehumidifiers simply aren't strong enough to solve the problem. Adding an Aprilaire dehumidifier creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days' time when set to 50% RH. The homeowner agreed and work was scheduled for a few weeks later.

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jesus C, and his team ended up installing 496 ft of CleanSpace, 414 sqft of Drainage Matting, 1 AprilAire, and 1 SmartPipe. Now our customer can rest easy knowing her humid crawl space is healthy once more!
