Radon Gas Eliminated in Plum City, WI

A homeowner from Plum City, WI, was reading a local newspaper when she found an article on radon gas. She had never heard of radon before, but from what she read, she understood that the dangers of radon were very high. She decided to find a radon mitigation specialist in her area to help restore peace of mind in her home. When she found our website, she signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Chuck H, was headed out to the home. In the meantime, the homeowner headed to her local home improvement store and purchased an at-home radon level test. When the test returned with high levels, she knew she had made the right choice by contacting us. 

When Chuck arrived, she informed him that the levels in the home were high, so Chuck began his inspection by scouting out the best spot for a mitigation system. When he was finished, Chuck met with the homeowner and informed her that he was strongly recommending a radon mitigation system. He 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. He finished by saying that, when installed by an experienced professional, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health safety agencies. The homeowner liked the sound of Chuck's plan, and the two worked together to find a date for the installation. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dakota, led his team through a successful installation of the radon mitigation system. Now, our customer has restored faith in the air circulating her home! 

 

 

Waterproofing System Installed in Lyle, MN Basement

Ann H. in Lyle, MN was suffering from a wet basement. She started looking for a local waterproofing company and she found American Waterworks’ website. After reading about our waterproofing services, she contacted us to receive a free estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, went to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. Mac worked closely with Ann to design a personalized plan that was the best fit for her and her home. She was pleased with the proposal that Mac presented to her, so she set a date to have our waterproofing system installed.

Our production team started the process by removing the carpet and the concrete for the WaterGuard drainage system and sump pump to be installed. The WaterGuard was laid on the perimeter of her basement and the sump pump was installed in the corner. The drainage system now properly drains water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line to be expelled from the home. Ann now has peace of mind that her basement will be a dry, clean space for years to come. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Ann is confident that she chose the right solution to protect her basement.
