A homeowner in Sherborn, Massachusetts, had lived in their home for 6 years. Their neighbors one day knocked on the door to tell them that they had installed a radon mitigation system in their home because they had higher than recommended radon levels. The homeowner decided to get their home tested after their neighbors stopped by. The levels in their home tested at 5.8 pCi/L so they decided to call EFS for a free inspection. Our Design Specialist recommended and designed a radon mitigation system to install in their home.
Our installation team installed a radon mitigation system into the home and lowered the radon levels from 5.8 pCi/L to below 4.0 pCi/L.
A homeowner in Danbury, New Hampshire noticed that the stairs in his barn have been shifting out of place over the years. His cobblestone wall had also been bowing inwards, which was of big concern. With this barn being used for livestock and storage, it was essential that it got the proper support.
Our Design Specialist, Jason Vachon, recommended installing an auxiliary wall along with our GeoLock wall anchor system. This system prevents the foundation wall from continuing to bow and lean in, and can also even straighten the wall. This system is installed by first putting the auxiliary wall in place. Once the concrete has dried, galvanized steel plates are attached to the wall and a steel rod is connected and then drilled through the soil. Once durable soil is found, an anchor is connected to the rod. This supports and stabilizes the auxiliary wall.
With this system in place, the barn is now receiving the proper support and stability. This will put an end to bowing and wall cracks, and will definitely stop the wall from collapsing. This homeowner can have peace of mind that his livestock and storage will stay safe.
This homeowner in Dunstable, Massachusetts, had old wooden supports in their basement that they would like to have replaced. The homeowners called EFS for a free inspection of their basement. Our Design Specialist recommended replacing the existing wooden supports with SmartJacks. Our installation team installed 4 SmartJacks into the basement. The homeowners were very happy with the results of the project.
