A homeowner in Plymouth, Massachusetts, had concerns with their pool deck. They were concerned about the concrete around the pool was sinking, cracking, and becoming less aesthetically pleasing. The homeowner wanted to lift, level, and seal the concrete to make the pool area look the best it can. Our team installed PolyLevel under each slab and NexusPro in all of the control joints. 

A homeowner in Woburn, MA, who recently acquired a property, decided to test for radon gas. The test results indicated levels exceeding 20 pCi/L, necessitating the installation of a radon mitigation system. To put it in perspective, levels above 4.0 pCi/L are considered harmful to health. Following an assessment by one of our Design Specialists, a strategy was devised to implement the radon mitigation system. The installation team promptly and carefully set up the system, which includes an extraction point in the basement and a fan that channels the gas from beneath the ground, through the pipes, and out above the roofline, ensuring it is directed away from the house. Equipped with a monitor to measure radon levels, the homeowner can now rest assured that they are safeguarded against this hazardous gas.
