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.
