This homeowner in Lowell, Massachusetts has been living in their home for the past 13 years and saw that the next-door neighbor had gotten a radon mitigation system installed in their home. The next-door neighbor got a system installed because all of their cats had gotten tumors. The homeowner took that as a sign to think about installing a radon mitigation system into their home. The homeowner decided to call Erickson Foundation Solutions about a free radon inspection.
Design Specialist John Prince arrived at the home and administered a radon test in their home. The test results came back reading 33 pCi/L. This reading is high and John recommended a radon mitigation system to be installed in the basement.
Crew Lead Branden Edwards and Installation Specialist Kyle DeChane arrived at the home and installed a radon mitigation system into the basement to reduce the high levels of radon in their home.
A homeowner in Lowell, Massachusetts, had wooden supports in their basement that need to be replaced. Our production team installed lally columns to replace old wooden supports in the basement.
A homeowner in Lowell, Massachusetts, had water seeping into their basement and currently had a sump pump installed in the basement. They called EFS to find out why the water wasn't entering the sump. Our Design Specialist Tom recommended installing 47' of WaterGuard and SaniDry Sedona and integrating them into the SuperSump.
This homeowner in Lowell, MA had old and outdated Lally columns that started to bend and crack as the foundation continued to settle. As a result, the home was no longer receiving the support and structure that it needed. This led to sagging and uneven floors.
Upon reaching out to our Erickson Foundation Solution's team, our Design Specialist recommended replacing these declining Lally columns with our more durable and stable columns. This was a quick and easy fix, although the work that was done provides permanent support to the entire home. These new Lally columns were attached to the basement support beams and then cemented into the foundation for even more support.
With these changes made, the bouncy and saggy floors are now sturdy and solid. The homeowner now has peace of mind that his home is supported, and no longer needs to worry about worsening problems that result in significantly higher costs to fix.
