Concerned about elevated radon levels in their Westford, MA home, a homeowner reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions after a radon test revealed concentrations of 4 picocuries per liter. This level is the threshold at which the Environmental Protection Agency advises the installation of a radon mitigation system. To provide a permanent solution, we installed our radon mitigation system, which included creating an extraction point through the foundation, routing PVC piping from the extraction point to the exterior, installing an active radon fan, and venting the radon above the roofline. Additionally, we used NexusPro to seal all basement cracks, further preventing radon gas infiltration. The homeowner immediately noticed a reduction in radon levels, ensuring their home is now permanently safeguarded from this hazardous gas.

With drainage matting and a concrete slab implementation, we secured a dry, steadfast environment, solidifying lasting safety and support.
