Before & After Photos

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.

This homeowner in Boston, Massachusetts, was experiencing relatively high Radon levels in their condo. The basement is finished and would like the air in the basement to be as safe as possible. Design Specialist Kyle Jamerson came out to the home and designed a radon system that would fit the condo. Then, Crew Lead Scott Crandall and his team came and installed the Radon System into the home.

This home in Reading, MA was found to have high levels of Radon throughout the home. The homeowner asked Erickson Foundation Supportworks to remove the high radon levels from their home. Our radon specialists installed radon mitigation systems in the home to pull the radon from the home. You can see the before and after pictures of the radon mitigation system.

A homeowner in Nashua, New Hampshire has lived in his home for over 40 years. Several years ago, he noticed that his basement would leak. In order to fix this, he had a sump pump installed. This pump isn't working as it was intended to, resulting in the basement flooding. Looking for a permanent solution keep his basement dry; he reached out to our Erickson team.

Our Design Specialist, John Prince, recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, SuperSump sump pump, and FlexiSpan crack sealant. Our crew started installing this waterproofing system by chipping our concrete along the border of the basement floor to make space for the WaterGuard drainage. This system captures water at the perimeter of the basement before being exposed to the walls or floor. The water collected then flows to our SuperSump sump pump. A new basin was created for the sump pump to sit in since the previous basin was not in the ideal spot. A feed line was installed connecting the old basin to the new basin in order to allow the new sump system to pump out the unwanted water. Once these systems were installed, they were cemented in place. An exterior discharge line was then installed to the sump pump to direct water safely out of the home. IceGuard was installed to the discharge line to prevent the pipe from freezing, which prevents sump pumps from backing up and flooding. Lastly, FlexiSpan crack sealant was used to seal a large crack in the basement wall. This sealant stops water from making its way through the crack, and is able to adjust to settlement, making it a long-lasting solution.

With the job now complete, crew lead Ryan Champagne went over a final walkthrough with the homeowner. He was thrilled that he would never have to deal with the annoying cleanup process again!
