Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Saugus, Massachusetts was experiencing high radon levels in their basement and wanted to install a radon mitigation system in their home. The current levels in the home are 4-6 pCi/L. Design Specialist Chris Greenwood came to the home and looked in the basement to see the best place to install the Radon Mitigation System. Chris drew up a design for the radon system and gave them to Brendan.

Crew Lead Brendan Edwards and his team came to the home and installed the Radon Mitigation System into the basement. After the Radon Mitigation System was installed the levels were reduced to an acceptable level.

A homeowner in Saugus, MA recently discovered that their home had radon gas levels of 6 pCi/L, which exceeds the Environmental Protection Agency’s recommended threshold for a radon mitigation system. Radon gas, a potentially harmful substance found in the soil beneath a home’s foundation, can seep into basements and cause long-term health effects such as respiratory issues and lung cancer. Concerned for their family’s safety, especially since they spend a lot of time in the basement home gym, the homeowner contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions. We installed a radon mitigation system and sealed all cracks, effectively keeping radon out of the home. Now, the homeowner can rest assured that their family is safe from the dangers of radon gas.

A homeowner in Newfields, NH had delayed testing their home for radon gas for a couple of years. Upon finally testing, they discovered radon levels between 9-12 pCi/L, which raised immediate health concerns. Radon is a leading cause of lung cancer and can severely impact long-term respiratory health. Ensuring the home was protected from radon gas became a top priority.

Our team at Erickson Foundation Solutions installed a radon mitigation system to address this issue. We created two extraction points in the foundation floor to draw out radon from the soil beneath the home. PVC pipes were connected to these extraction points to safely channel the gas outside. As the PVC pipe was routed to the exterior, a radon fan was installed to actively draw radon from the soil. The pipe extended up past the roofline, ensuring the radon was released far from any entry points of the home.

Additionally, a radon manometer was installed with the system to measure the fan’s effectiveness, providing a visual confirmation that the system is functioning correctly. The homeowner can now rest assured that their home is safeguarded from radon gas.

This homeowner in Georgetown, Massachusetts had been living in their home for the past 23 years, and in the past 7-8 months they began worrying about radon in their home. They wanted to learn more about radon and the health risks, so they decided to call EFS for a free inspection and some information about radon. 

Design Specialist Michael Bradley spent some time with the homeowners talking about radon. Michael answered the questions that the homeowners asked. After the long discussion about radon, Michael recommended to the homeowner to have a radon mitigation system installed in their home.
