Radon Gas Mitigation Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Billerica, Massachusetts had a neighbor that had a radon fan installed in their home recently. The homeowners were curious about the radon levels in their home. They decided to call EFS for a CRM test and Inspection for their home. 

Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese dropped off a CRM test a couple of days before his appointment with the homeowners. The CRM test takes 24 hours to conduct a full test. Kenny inspected the home on the day of the appointment and found a couple of cracks in the walls and floors that radon gas was most likely seeping through. Kenny recommended installing a radon mitigation system with two extraction points to reduce the radon levels in the home. 

A homeowner in Chester, NH wanted to utilize their basement space but was concerned about radon levels in their home. The Environmental Protection Agency considers a space dangerous if radon levels exceed 4 pCi/L, which was the case for this homeowner. Seeking a permanent solution for peace of mind, the homeowner reached out to Erickson Foundation Solutions.

We installed our radon mitigation system by creating an extraction point in the foundation floor and routing PVC pipe from the extraction point to the exterior of the home. We then installed a radon fan to the PVC pipe and extended more PVC pipe above the roofline to safely vent radon away from any entry points of the home. The radon fan actively draws radon from the soil beneath the home’s foundation, ensuring the home is safeguarded.

Post-installation, the homeowner now has peace of mind, especially with the manometer providing a visual confirmation that the system is functioning correctly.

A homeowner in Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts, was concerned about radon in their home. They tested their home and our design specialist recommended installing a radon mitigation system in the basement. The team chipped out a hole for the extraction point and installed the PVC pipe that leads to the radon fan. 

A homeowner in Wellesley, MA, recently found that their home had radon levels of 4.5 pCi/L, which is slightly above the Environmental Protection Agency’s recommended limit of 4 pCi/L. Radon, a gas that seeps into homes from the soil beneath the foundation, was a significant concern, especially with a finished basement and young children in the household. To ensure their family’s safety and enjoy their basement with peace of mind, they contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions. The radon mitigation system installation involved drilling an extraction point in the basement floor, inserting a vent pipe, and connecting a fan to draw radon gas out from beneath the home. Radon is then removed above the roofline to ensure it is released far away from entry points of the home.

A homeowner in Newton Lower Falls, Massachusetts, had radon concerns in their home. They had a gym in their basement that they would like to use without worrying about radon. Our design specialist recommended installing a radon mitigation system in the basement. Our radon team installed the radon pipe in the basement and the fan on the side of the home. The design specialist selected a part of the home that isn't visible to the public so the radon fan is discrete.
