This homeowner in Merrimac, Massachusetts was experiencing some cracks in the slab in the basement. They would like the cracks to be looked at have a conversation about radon mitigation. They decided to call EFS for a free inspection for homeowners.
Design Specialist Isaac Hernandez came by the home a couple of days before his appointment to drop off a radon monitoring device. On the day of his appointment, the radon monitoring device will have collected enough data to display the radon levels in the home over the past 24-48 hours. In this case, the radon levels in this home are around 50 pCi/L, which is very high. After seeing the results as high as they were, Isaac recommended installing a radon mitigation system along with sealing the cracks in the basement.
Crew Lead Dillon Kingsbury and his team arrived at the home and installed the radon mitigation system and sealed the cracks on the slab.
