Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Alton, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for the past year and has seen the radon level increase. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a radon inspection and our Design Specialist inspected the house and recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System to reduce the radon levels. 

Our team installed a Radon Mitigation System in the basement and was able to reduce the levels from 7.1 to below 4.0 pCi/L.

A homeowner in Alton, NH, with a young child, aims to convert their basement into a finished area, possibly a media room. Following a radon test, which revealed a level of 4.7 pCi/L—a figure exceeding the safe limit of 4.0 pCi/L—they sought to safeguard their home against this hazardous gas and reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for assistance. Following a consultation with our System Design Specialist, we scheduled the project. The team successfully installed the radon mitigation system, which included an extraction point in the basement, a fan to circulate the gas, and PVC pipes extending from the basement to above the roofline. To ensure the home was safeguarded against radon, a manometer was installed in the basement to monitor any fluctuations in radon levels. With this protection in place, the family can now proceed to create the finished basement they have always envisioned.

This homeowner in Billerica, Massachusetts had a neighbor that had a radon fan installed in their home recently. The homeowners were curious about the radon levels in their home. They decided to call EFS for a CRM test and Inspection for their home. 

Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese dropped off a CRM test a couple of days before his appointment with the homeowners. The CRM test takes 24 hours to conduct a full test. Kenny inspected the home on the day of the appointment and found a couple of cracks in the walls and floors that radon gas was most likely seeping through. Kenny recommended installing a radon mitigation system with two extraction points to reduce the radon levels in the home. 

A homeowner in Chester, NH wanted to utilize their basement space but was concerned about radon levels in their home. The Environmental Protection Agency considers a space dangerous if radon levels exceed 4 pCi/L, which was the case for this homeowner. Seeking a permanent solution for peace of mind, the homeowner reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

We installed our radon mitigation system by creating an extraction point in the foundation floor and routing PVC pipe from the extraction point to the exterior of the home. We then installed a radon fan to the PVC pipe and extended more PVC pipe above the roofline to safely vent radon away from any entry points of the home. The radon fan actively draws radon from the soil beneath the home’s foundation, ensuring the home is safeguarded.

Post-installation, the homeowner now has peace of mind, especially with the manometer providing a visual confirmation that the system is functioning correctly.

A homeowner in Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts, was concerned about radon in their home. They tested their home and our design specialist recommended installing a radon mitigation system in the basement. The team chipped out a hole for the extraction point and installed the PVC pipe that leads to the radon fan.
