Before & After Photos

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.

This home in Chelmsford, MA had high a PCI/L level and needed a Radon Mitigation sytem installed. In the before photo you can see the home before the vent pipe and mitigation system were installed. The after photo shows the home after the vent pipe was installed. 

A homeowner in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, had tested their home for radon and got 2 different results back. One of the test results came back at 4.2 and the other came back at 6.1 pCi/L. The homeowners wanted to control the radon levels in their home so they reached out to EFS about installing a radon mitigation system. Our design specialist Chris designed a radon mitigation system for the home. 

This homeowner in Chelmsford, MA was concerned with their radon levels being over 4.0 pCi/l. Our team proposed and installed a radon mitigation system, installation taking less than one day. They now have peace of mind knowing the radon in their home is at a safe level. 

Upon detecting radon gas in their home, a family in Chelmsford, MA realized the necessity of installing a radon mitigation system to protect their property from this hazardous substance. Our Customer Care team scheduled an appointment for System Design Specialist Mark Proctor to visit the residence and determine the optimal installation strategy for the radon system. Upon hearing our proposal, they expressed enthusiasm about moving forward with the installation. The installation team, headed by Cameron Hughes, began by creating an extraction point in the foundation floor. PVC pipes were then fitted from the extraction point, running along the foundation wall and out of the basement. A fan was attached to the pipes outside, effectively removing radon from the home. The "after" photo shows the pipes extending above the roofline, which prevents radon exposure within the home. The manometer installed in the basement tracks any fluctuations in radon levels, guaranteeing the home's safety. The family can now rest assured that their entire home, not just the basement, is a secure environment.
