It's important to test and install the radon vent pipe in the most suitable location. The air flow must be strong and ideally the pipe is not an unpleasant sight in the basement or on the exterior of the house. This before and after shows the pipe cleanly installed in the basement.

A homeowner in Salem, MA recently detected radon gas levels of 5 pCi/L in their home, surpassing the Environmental Protection Agency’s recommended threshold for installing a radon mitigation system. Radon, a hazardous gas originating from the soil beneath a home’s foundation, can infiltrate basements and pose serious health risks, including respiratory issues and lung cancer. Concerned for their family’s well-being, especially given the significant time spent in their finished basement, the homeowner reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions. We promptly installed a radon mitigation system and sealed all cracks and cold joints, effectively preventing radon intrusion. Now, the homeowner can have peace of mind knowing their family is safeguarded from the dangers of radon gas.

A homeowner in Swampscott, Massachusetts had high radon levels in their home. The levels are between 9-11 pCi/L. Erickson Foundation Solutions installed the radon mitigation system in the home. 

A homeowner in Swampscott, MA had concerns after testing their home for radon gas and receiving a score that ranged between 5-8 pCi/L. Looking for a permanent solution from this hazardous gas that can cause long term health effects, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions. We provided them with a radon mitigation system, designed to draw radon gas from the soil beneath their home. This is achieved by creating an extraction point in the home's foundation, constructing PVC pipe to the exterior of the home, installing a radon fan to the pipe, and then constructing more pipe that surpasses the roof line for safe removal. With a radon system now installed in their home, this family has the peace of mind that their house is safeguarded, especially with an attached monometer that shows the system is operating correctly.
