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.

This homeowner reached out to us here at Erickson to replace their failing radon mitigation system.

Radon Mitigation System in Thornton, NH. This homeowner got a test done for radon and the levels were high so he chose to get a Radon Mitigation System installed by Erickson Foundation Supportworks. The before picture shows the outside of the home before the system was installed. The after picture shows the system fully installed by Scott Crandall and the team. Now the homeowner's radon levels are below 4pCi/l. 

Our Erickson team was hired to install a radon mitigation system for the owners of this home who were in the process of selling the property.

This homeowner in Saugus, Massachusetts was experiencing high radon levels in their basement and wanted to install a radon mitigation system in their home. The current levels in the home are 4-6 pCi/L. Design Specialist Chris Greenwood came to the home and looked in the basement to see the best place to install the Radon Mitigation System. Chris drew up a design for the radon system and gave them to Brendan.

Crew Lead Brendan Edwards and his team came to the home and installed the Radon Mitigation System into the basement. After the Radon Mitigation System was installed the levels were reduced to an acceptable level.
