A homeowner in Townsend, Massachusetts set up an appointment for Erickson Foundation Supportworks to come and administer a home radon test. The test results came back at 5.0 pCi/l which is above the recommended threshold for radon in a home. A comfortable level is 4.0pCi/l or lower.
Jason Furrey was the Design Specialist for this project and after he saw the radon test come back as 5.0pCi/l he designed a Radon Mitigation System for this homeowner. After the System was designed by Jason, Scott Crandall took the designs and led his team to install the system into the home. After the radon system is installed the crew made sure that the manometer was working and that the radon levels are below 4.0pCi/l.
This homeowner is expecting a newborn in the coming months and would like a Radon Mitigation System to bring down the 10 pCi/L radon levels. The homeowner called EFS for a free inspection. A radon mitigation system was installed into the basement to help mitigate the radon that was entering the home in time for the new baby.
These homeowners in Hopkinton, MA tested their home for radon and wished to install a mitigation system upon finding their levels were high. This before and after is a view of the exterior of the home where the fan and vent were located.
A new homeowner in Marlborough, Massachusetts just purchased their home. A radon test was performed after purchase during the inspection process. The test indicated the levels are 4.3 pCi/L and they would like to reduce the radon in their home. Design Specialist Michael Biedrzycki went to the home to talk to the homeowner about their options. Scott Crandall his team then installed the radon mitigation system into the home.
A homeowner in Marlborough, MA discovered a leak in their passive radon system emanating from the roof. Upon further examination, they retested their home for radon levels and found them to be at 18 pCi/L, significantly exceeding the safe limit of 4.0 pCi/L. Recognizing the danger posed by this harmful gas, they reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for assistance.
The installation of our radon mitigation system began with the creation of an extraction point in the foundation. We then secured PVC piping to this point and extended it to the outside of the house. On the exterior, a radon fan was installed to draw radon from the ground beneath the foundation. We added more PVC piping to the fan, extending it above the roofline to safely release the gas away from the house.
The homeowners were elated to have a durable, high-quality solution implemented.
