Erickson Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Nashua, NH, with a mostly finished basement and a one-year-old child, discovered radon gas levels exceeding 5 pCi/L, surpassing the EPA’s hazard threshold of 4 pCi/L. Initially, no action was taken. After learning about the dangers of radon gas, the homeowner became concerned for their family’s safety and contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions to install a radon mitigation system.

We began the project by creating an extraction point through the foundation, allowing a PVC pipe to funnel radon gas. Next, we installed a radon fan on the exterior of the home to actively draw radon from the soil beneath the foundation. Additional PVC piping was then extended from the radon fan to surpass the roofline, safely expelling radon gas away from any entry points of the home. Lastly, we sealed all foundation cracks to further prevent radon from seeping into the basement.

Following the installation, the homeowner can now rest assured that their home is protected from radon gas.

This homeowner in Wayland, MA was interested in learning more about radon systems. They had been testing their radon levels with an electric radon detector which the basement was averaging 2.8 but has spiked to as high as 6 pCi/l. The Design Specialist came to the home and explained to the homeowners about the potential issues and risks of radon. The homeowners chose to have a radon system installed after they met with the Design Specialist. Scott Crandall and his team installed the radon system into the home. 

A homeowner in Wayland, Massachusetts was concerned about their radon level in the home. Just having a newborn baby, this family wanted to take all the measures to ensure their home was safe. They trusted Erickson Foundation Solutions to ensure the safety of their home.

Our Design Specialist, Mark Proctor, visited the home to conduct a free home inspection. Upon inspection, Mark noticed that the existing sump pump in the home had stopped working and was leaking water. This created concern for mold growth, as well as potential basement flooding. Learning this new information, the homeowners decided to prioritize waterproofing the basement. Mark recommended installing our TripleSafe sump pump system. This system works better than a single sump pump due to the three high quality pumps all in one system. This system sits in a basin and pumps out all the water that comes into it. The first pump disposes of water at a normal rate of 1/3 horsepower. A second pump is activated at 1/2 horsepower in situations where heavy rains or melting occurs. Lastly, a third battery backup pump operates in the event of an emergency such as a power outage.

With this updated and upgraded sump pump system, this family can have peace of mind that their basement will be safe and dry. A great home starts with a strong foundation!
