Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Gloucester, Massachusetts was experiencing high radon levels in their home. The homeowner would like to reduce these as much as possible. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection.

A design specialist arrived at the home and inspected the basement. The design specialist recommended that the homeowners have EFS install a radon mitigation system as well as a Clean Space Encapsulation.

A homeowner in Gloucester, Massachusetts became concerned about the radon levels in their home following an understanding of basement systems. The radon test results indicated levels between 6-9 pCi/L, exceeding the EPA's recommended action level of 4 pCi/L. In an effort to reduce the radon levels, they contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions.

Our Design Specialist, Tom Armano, recommended installing a radon mitigation system with a fan moisture guard and exterior aesthetic package. The installation team initiated the process by creating an extraction point through a small circular opening in the basement concrete floor for the radon mitigation system. A radon pipe was then affixed to this point and extended to the home's exterior, where the radon fan was mounted on the side. Additional piping from the fan was routed alongside the house, extending above the roof to prevent radon re-entry. After testing the fan for operational integrity, the team provided the homeowners with a charcoal test kit to reassess the radon levels after approximately one week.

With the proper precautions now taken, this homeowner has peace of mind that his home is safe from radon.

In Winchendon, MA, a homeowner faced a common challenge: improving the aesthetics of their garage floor, front steps, and porch to prepare their home for sale. Seeing the before photo, you can tell the concrete surfaces were in dire need of a facelift. Enter Erickson Foundation Solutions – with our DecoShield application, showcased in the after photo, we transformed these key areas into eye-catching, durable surfaces. Now, the homeowner is ready to impress potential buyers with a fresh and welcoming look.

In Temple, NH, Erickson Foundation Solutions addressed an exterior garage apron that had sunk 2.5 inches. The challenge was to lift it without disturbing the rest of the slab. To solve this, we used an I beam lift for balance and employed slab jacks and PolyLevel® for precision lifting. Notice in the after photo how we've stabilized and leveled the slab. To ensure longevity, we applied SealantPro® to protect the surface, finishing with NexusPro® to seal the joints and portholes. The apron, refreshed and solid, is now ready to withstand the elements.

This homeowner in Ashby, MA was concerned with the concrete walkway leading up to the entrance of their house. The walkway was uneven and full of trip hazards due to the uneven concrete. Over the years, as water eroded away the soils under the slabs, voids formed, and the concrete began to sink.

Our team proposed lifting the sunken areas with PolyLevel, a polyurethane based foam product, which effectively fills all the voids beneath the concrete and lifts it to the desired location. Demolishing and replacing this concrete walkway would be expensive and take several days to complete. With PolyLevel, our team left behind no mess, finished in a single day, and saved the homeowner money while delivering with a great solution. 

The trip hazards are now gone, and they have peace of mind that guests visiting their home will be safe while walking up to the front door.
