Serving Southern New Hampshire, Middlesex and Essex Counties Massachusetts
A homeowner in Goffstown, New Hampshire had a radon mitigation system designed for treating water but lacked a system to prevent radon gas from entering the home. Despite a test result of 2.6pCi/L, within acceptable limits, they sought to guarantee their family's safety, particularly as the basement served as a workout area. Consequently, they contacted Erickson Foundation Solutions, known for our reliable and quality services.
Our Design Specialist, Josh Phillips, recommended installing our radon mitigation system with a fan moisture guard and muffler. The crew started work on the project by creating an extraction point into the foundation floor. At this stage, a radon vent pipe was affixed and extended outside the home, with the radon fan mounted on the side. Additional radon pipes were then attached to the fan, extending up the exterior wall and over the roofline to prevent radon re-entry. After confirming the fan's functionality, a monometer was installed in the basement to measure any changing radon levels.
The installation of the radon mitigation system ensures that the family is protected from radon gas throughout the entire home, including the basement.
