Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Upon testing their home for radon gas, a family discovered elevated radon levels of 14 picocuries per liter. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends the installation of a radon mitigation system for any home with radon levels exceeding 4 picocuries per liter, due to the health risks associated with radon exposure. Radon is a hazardous gas that originates from soil and can infiltrate a home through its foundation, affecting both the basement and upper living spaces. This situation was particularly concerning for the family, as they operate a home-based business in their basement and have a young child.

To address this issue, we installed a comprehensive radon mitigation system, which included two extraction points, PVC piping, and a radon fan. The radon fan effectively extracts radon gas from beneath the foundation and safely vents it above the roofline, ensuring that the gas does not enter the home. With this system in place, the family can now be confident that their business area and the rest of their home are safeguarded against radon exposure.

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.
