A homeowner in Nashua, NH, with a mostly finished basement and a one-year-old child, discovered radon gas levels exceeding 5 pCi/L, surpassing the EPA’s hazard threshold of 4 pCi/L. Initially, no action was taken. After learning about the dangers of radon gas, the homeowner became concerned for their family’s safety and contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions to install a radon mitigation system.
We began the project by creating an extraction point through the foundation, allowing a PVC pipe to funnel radon gas. Next, we installed a radon fan on the exterior of the home to actively draw radon from the soil beneath the foundation. Additional PVC piping was then extended from the radon fan to surpass the roofline, safely expelling radon gas away from any entry points of the home. Lastly, we sealed all foundation cracks to further prevent radon from seeping into the basement.
Following the installation, the homeowner can now rest assured that their home is protected from radon gas.
This homeowner in Wayland, MA was interested in learning more about radon systems. They had been testing their radon levels with an electric radon detector which the basement was averaging 2.8 but has spiked to as high as 6 pCi/l. The Design Specialist came to the home and explained to the homeowners about the potential issues and risks of radon. The homeowners chose to have a radon system installed after they met with the Design Specialist. Scott Crandall and his team installed the radon system into the home.
A homeowner in Wayland, MA conducted multiple radon gas tests in their home. One test revealed radon levels at 6 picocuries per liter, surpassing the Environmental Protection Agency's safety threshold of 4 picocuries per liter, thereby necessitating the installation of a radon mitigation system. Another test indicated radon levels at approximately 3 picocuries per liter, which is below the safety limit. Radon, a hazardous gas linked to health issues such as lung cancer, can fluctuate within a home due to various factors. These variable radon levels raised concerns for the homeowner, prompting them to seek a reliable solution. We installed our radon mitigation system, ensuring their home was safeguarded and providing the homeowner with the peace of mind they desired.
This homeowner in Merrimack, New Hampshire had a radon test come back with levels at 9 pCi/l. They called Erickson Foundation Supportworks for someone to come to their home. Design Specialist Paul Magowan came to the home and inspected possible places to install the system. Paul would then design a radon system specifically for that home. After the design is made by Paul, he passed the design over to the Crew Lead Scott Crandall. Scott Crandall and his team would go to the house and install the custom radon mitigation system.
This homeowner in Merrimack, New Hampshire is planning on selling their home shortly and wanted to install a radon mitigation system into their home before they sell it. They tested the radon levels at their home. The results came back at 11 pCi/L. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free inspection.
Design Specialist Stephen Caron inspected the home. After the inspection, Stephen designed a radon mitigation system for the home.
