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!

A homeowner in Wabasha, MN, noticed a funky smell around their home. Unsure of the cause of the smell, the homeowner began to do some investigating. Upon further investigation, the homeowner discovered the scent was strongest in the basement. Having a hunch this may lead to a bigger issue, the homeowner wanted to have a basement expert inspect their home. Knowing there were many options around them, the homeowner decided to research the 'best basement repair near Wabasha, MN'. The company at the top of the list was us, American Waterworks. The homeowner decided to look closer into our website and was immediately impressed. After seeing we offer FREE estimates, they decided to give us a try. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Mike, to inspect the basement further. Mike performed the estimate and discovered the scent was coming from the crawl space. Additionally, Mike alerted the homeowner that their home had high radon levels. Mike recommended encapsulating the crawl space and a radon mitigation system be placed. The homeowners agreed with Mike's recommendations, and the plans were passed on to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew arrived at the home to begin production. First, the crew cleaned the debris out of the crawl space. Once the crawl space was cleared, the crew could install the CleanSpace and Drainage Matting. Then, the crew shifted their focus to installing the Radon Mitigation System outside the home. Once the Radon Mitigation System was properly installed, the crew was able to clean up their job site and leave the home. The homeowners were relieved to know the musty smell was gone and the radon threat was eliminated. American Waterworks is happy to make another home safe.
