Before & After Photos

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 Alton, New Hampshire, has lived in their home for the past year and has seen the radon level increase. The homeowner decided to call EFS for a radon inspection and our Design Specialist inspected the house and recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System to reduce the radon levels. 

Our team installed a Radon Mitigation System in the basement and was able to reduce the levels from 7.1 to below 4.0 pCi/L.

A homeowner in Alton, NH, with a young child, aims to convert their basement into a finished area, possibly a media room. Following a radon test, which revealed a level of 4.7 pCi/L—a figure exceeding the safe limit of 4.0 pCi/L—they sought to safeguard their home against this hazardous gas and reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions for assistance. Following a consultation with our System Design Specialist, we scheduled the project. The team successfully installed the radon mitigation system, which included an extraction point in the basement, a fan to circulate the gas, and PVC pipes extending from the basement to above the roofline. To ensure the home was safeguarded against radon, a manometer was installed in the basement to monitor any fluctuations in radon levels. With this protection in place, the family can now proceed to create the finished basement they have always envisioned.

This homeowner in West Newbury, Massachusetts needed a Radon Mitigation System installed in their home. Their home was tested for radon, and the results came back at 4.0 pCi/L. Design Specialist John Prince proposed a design for a new radon system. Crew Lead Branden Edwards and his team came to the home and installed the Radon Mitigation System.
