Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Lincoln, Massachusetts recently purchased their forever home. They had several projects they are trying to finish quickly. One of the projects was to have a radon mitigation system installed in the home. They reached out to EFS for a free inspection.

Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese came to the home a couple of days before the appointment to drop off a CRM test kit to test the amount of radon is in the air in the home. Kenny came back on the day of the appointment and reviewed the radon test results with the homeowners. The homeowners would like to have a radon mitigation system installed.

Crew Lead Dillon Kingsbury and his team arrived at the home and installed the radon mitigation system into the basement. 

A recently built home in Conway, New Hampshire has radon levels between 24-28 pCi/L. Erickson Foundation Solutions installed a radon mitigation system into the home to reduce the radon levels. 

A new home that was built in May 2023 was tested for radon. The results of the test averaged 21.3 pCi/L which is high. After the homeowners fully moved into their new home they reached out to EFS for us to design a radon mitigation system. We designed a radon system with two extraction points to collect the most amount of radon possible. Our team installed the system and lowered the radon levels below the National Radon Defense's recommendation of 4.0 pCi/L. The owners of the home were very happy for the results of the project. 

A homeowner in Deerfield, New Hampshire, purchased their forever home 4 years ago. A couple of months ago the homeowners were concerned with the radon levels in their home. They decided to test their home for radon and the results from their radon test came back with an average of 10.0 pCi/L. The homeowners then called EFS for a free inspection of their home. Our Design Specialist recommended and designed a radon mitigation system for their home. 

Our installation team installed the Radon Mitigation System into their home and reduced the radon levels to below 4.0 pCi/L.

Upon testing their home for radon gas, a family discovered elevated radon levels of 14 picocuries per liter. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends the installation of a radon mitigation system for any home with radon levels exceeding 4 picocuries per liter, due to the health risks associated with radon exposure. Radon is a hazardous gas that originates from soil and can infiltrate a home through its foundation, affecting both the basement and upper living spaces. This situation was particularly concerning for the family, as they operate a home-based business in their basement and have a young child.

To address this issue, we installed a comprehensive radon mitigation system, which included two extraction points, PVC piping, and a radon fan. The radon fan effectively extracts radon gas from beneath the foundation and safely vents it above the roofline, ensuring that the gas does not enter the home. With this system in place, the family can now be confident that their business area and the rest of their home are safeguarded against radon exposure.
