Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, had lived in their home for the past 30 years and recently became concerned with the levels of radon in their home. The home had two chambers, meaning they had a standard basement and a crawlspace off of the basement. The basement was mostly finished and the crawlspace was covered with crushed stone. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a free radon inspection, and our design specialist recommended installing a radon mitigation system with 2 extraction points. One of the extraction points was installed on the unfinished side of the basement and the other was installed in the crawlspace. The radon fan was installed on the exterior of the home to expel the radon-filled air into the air outside the home where it can dissipate.

This homeowner in Essex, MA tested the radon levels when he moved into the home in 2017, and they were around 4. He retested in 2022, and the levels were up to 22 pCi/l. He chose our Erickson team to install a radon mitigation system for him, a project that took less than a day and effectively lowered the levels below 4.0 pCi/l.

A resident of Essex, MA, had consistently monitored the radon levels in their residence, understanding the detrimental health impacts associated with this invisible gas. Recently, they conducted a radon test, which revealed levels ranging from 4 to 5 picocuries. This measurement aligns with the threshold set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for recommending the installation of a radon mitigation system. Following the receipt of these results, the homeowner contacted us to ensure the safety of their living environment. Installing our radon mitigation system instantly lowered the homeowner's radon levels significantly. They now have peace of mind that they are protected within their own home.

A homeowner in Rye, New Hampshire, had purchased their home a few months ago. They were concerned with radon in their home so they reached out to EFS for one of our Design Specialists to test for radon and to design a system for them. Our specialist recommended installing a radon mitigation system with 2 extraction points. Our installation team installed the radon system into the home within a couple of hours. After the system was installed and running the radon levels were reduced below the recommended levels provided by the National Radon Defense.

A homeowner in Rye, New Hampshire, recently had their home tested for radon gas, revealing a level of 7 pCi/L. Since levels above 4 pCi/L necessitate the installation of a radon mitigation system, this finding was particularly alarming, given that the homeowner's daughter's bedroom is in the finished basement. To address this urgent health concern, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for the prompt installation of a radon mitigation system to protect their residence.

Our System Design Specialist, Liam FitzPatrick, recommended installing our radon mitigation system, along with our Erickson Care Club service.  The installation team began by creating an extraction point via a small circular cut in the basement's concrete floor for the radon mitigation system. They then attached a radon pipe to this point, extending it to the exterior of the home, where they mounted the radon fan on the side. They routed additional piping from the fan along the side of the house, extending it above the roof to avert radon re-entry. Following the operational integrity test of the fan, the homeowners were given a charcoal test kit to measure the radon levels after about one week.

The installation of the radon mitigation system has safeguarded this family from the hazardous gas.
