A homeowner in Wayland, MA conducted multiple radon gas tests in their home. One test revealed radon levels at 6 picocuries per liter, surpassing the Environmental Protection Agency's safety threshold of 4 picocuries per liter, thereby necessitating the installation of a radon mitigation system. Another test indicated radon levels at approximately 3 picocuries per liter, which is below the safety limit. Radon, a hazardous gas linked to health issues such as lung cancer, can fluctuate within a home due to various factors. These variable radon levels raised concerns for the homeowner, prompting them to seek a reliable solution. We installed our radon mitigation system, ensuring their home was safeguarded and providing the homeowner with the peace of mind they desired.
A homeowner in Warwick, Rhode Island, was worried about his son's safety due to tripping hazards near the pool. The soil had settled over time, causing the concrete to sink and tilt, leading to protruding edges. To address this, he contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions for concrete lifting and leveling.
Our Design Specialist, Jim Meglio, recommended the use of PolyLevel and NexusPro for lifting, leveling, and stabilizing the concrete. PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam, was injected beneath hazardous areas to fill the voids under the concrete. The installation team employed slab jacks to raise the concrete to the desired level. PolyLevel quickly hardens after installation, creating a permanently stable foundation. Once the pool deck's concrete was set, NexusPro was used to seal cracks and joints, offering additional protection against movement and cracking, as well as enhancing the appearance.
Upon completion of the work, our team cleaned the workspace and conducted a final inspection with the homeowner. Following the presentation of the work and addressing any remaining questions, the homeowner was delighted!
The association for this condominium community in Warwick, RI reached out to our team to help fix several areas of sinking and uneven concrete. This before and after series highlights one of the walkways and concrete entrance steps our specialists lifted and stabilized with PolyLevel. The steps were out of level about half an inch, and becoming unsafe for the owners and their family. After repairs, the steps were level and at a safe height. The walkway landing beneath the stairs was also lifted and stabilized, ensuring their entrance way would remain safe for years to come, all without having to tear out or replace any existing concrete.
This homeowner in Gilmanton, New Hampshire was experiencing high Radon levels in their home. The levels in their home were at 23 pCi/L in the basement of the single-family home. Design Specialist Jason Vachon came to the home and proposed to install a Radon Mitigation System in the basement.
Crew Lead Branden Edwards and his team came to the home and installed a custom Radon Mitigation System for the home. Once the Radon System was turned on the radon levels instantly started to fall.
The homeowner was very please with the results of the project.
