Swampscott, MA's Professional Concrete Repair & Radon Mitigation Company

A homeowner in Swampscott, MA contacted us at Erickson Foundation Solutions with a concern about elevated radon levels in his basement. He had been using the basement more frequently and had recently discovered that the radon levels measured 6 picocuries, an amount requiring mitigation for safe habitation.

Our process began with a Customer Care Specialist scheduling a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist Nikki Gobbi, an expert from our Sales Team, visited the home to conduct a comprehensive inspection. After a thorough evaluation, it was clear a radon mitigation system was necessary to ensure a safe environment for extended use of the basement. Our production team, comprised of highly experienced professionals, set to work installing the radon mitigation system. This required drilling into the foundation slab to create a suction point where radon could be effectively drawn from beneath the house and safely vented outside. The team strategically routed the piping to optimize efficiency and ensure all work aligned with standards for minimal visual impact. Attention to detail was given to sealing entry points into the foundation to ensure the system's longevity and effectiveness.

The outcome was immediate and significant. Post-installation testing confirmed that radon levels had decreased, ensuring a healthier and safer space for our client. The homeowner expressed satisfaction not only with the improved air quality but also with the neatness and professionalism displayed throughout the process. Our comprehensive approach, from inspection to execution, showcases Erikson Foundation Solutions as a trustworthy leader in creating healthy home environments.

After contacting our Customer Care team, an appointment was set for a complete home inspection. Our System Design Specialist Kenneth Calabrese was thorough, paying close attention to detail, and it didn´t take long to diagnose that the heart of the kin's concern was centered around a failing lally column that was integral to their home’s structural integrity.

When the homeowners in Swampscott, MA, discovered water damage on their finished basement floor, they knew it was time to take action. Concerned about the potential for future water damage ruining their space again, they reached out to us at Erickson Foundation Solutions for help. Understanding the importance of having a dry and safe living area, we were excited to offer our expertise and services to ensure they could enjoy their basement without the looming threat of water damage.

The homeowners first encountered our customer-centric approach when they connected with our Customer Care team, who promptly arranged a detailed home inspection. Our System Design Specialist Tom Armano then visited their home, assessed the situation thoroughly, and provided a comprehensive solution designed to meet their specific needs. Our suggested fix included the installation of our cutting-edge WaterGuard system, a TripleSafe Sump Pump, and an IceGuard system. The WaterGuard system is strategically engineered to intercept water at the perimeter of the basement, channeling it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump. This sump pump is uniquely designed with three levels of protection, safeguarding the basement against common as well as extreme water conditions. To complement this system, we installed IceGuard to prevent potential blockages caused by frozen discharge lines—a common concern in our cold Massachusetts winters. Our proficient installation team transformed the problematic basement into a dry and worry-free environment, making the space primed for a refinish that the homeowners can trust will last.

Throughout the procedure, the homeowners saw their basement go from damp and damaged to dry and defended against future water intrusions. Our team’s timely and efficient work ensured that the living space was safeguarded with minimal intrusion into the homeowners' daily lives, reflecting our mission to deliver not only a reliable solution but also a remarkable customer experience.

A year ago, a homeowner in Swampscott, Massachusetts noticed a bad smell in their home that was emanating from the crawlspace due to their bathroom fan. The homeowner contacted EFS to inspect the crawlspace for free. Our Design Specialist, Mark Proctor, met with the homeowner and carefully examined the crawlspace. After a thorough evaluation, Mark recommended that CleanSpace Encapsulation and a SaniDry Sedona be installed in the crawlspace to prevent odor from entering the home and collecting below it.

Our Installation Team began by cleaning out any debris from the crawlspace, then they installed a vapor barrier, using CleanSpace on the floors and walls. After the encapsulation process was complete, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to control the humidity and eliminate the odor from the crawlspace. With the crawlspace now encapsulated, the SaniDry Sedona prevents any unpleasant odors from outside the home from entering the crawlspace. This ensures that the bathroom fan does not suction up bad odors and circulate them in the main level of the home. The homeowners were extremely pleased with the outcome of the project.

This homeowner in Swampscott, Massachusetts was experiencing high levels of radon in their half-finished basement. The levels in their basement are between 9-11 pCi/L. The homeowners decided to call EFS for a free inspection.

Design Specialist Michael Bradley inspected the home. He recommended installing a radon mitigations system in the basement. Since the basement is half-finished and half storage Michael recommended having two extraction points to ensure that radon is removed from the entire basement. 

Crew Lead Dillon Kingsbury and his team installed the radon system with both extraction points, one extraction point on the finished side of the basement and one on the unfinished side.
