Lawson Home Services Before & After Photos

A Wilmington, Delaware homeowner recently contacted Lawson Home Services due to concerns about radon exposure. We understand these concerns – radon is a naturally occurring gas that can pose health risks.

When assessing a home for a radon mitigation system, our certified inspectors prioritize identifying cracks and openings in the basement or crawl space. These are prime entry points for radon gas. Additionally, as seen in the image, we ensure sump pits are securely sealed during inspections, further minimizing potential pathways.

Once the evaluation is complete, our experienced technicians install the radon mitigation system. To verify effectiveness, we provide a post-installation radon test kit. This homeowner, like many others, was happy to receive confirmation of improved indoor air quality.

If you're concerned about radon levels in your home, a simple test can provide valuable information. If results indicate high levels, don't hesitate to take action. Lawson Home Services offers expert evaluation, installation, and post-mitigation testing to ensure your family breathes easy.

One proactive resident of Wilmington, Delaware, decided to take matters into their own hands and test their home for radon. After researching local radon testing companies, they chose Lawson Home Services for their trusted reputation.

The testing process is simple and non-invasive. A small test kit is placed in the lowest livable level of your home, usually the basement, for a specific period. Afterward, the kit is sent to a lab for analysis.

Luckily, this Wilmington homeowner received a clean bill of health. Their radon levels were well below the EPA's action level which means their home poses a low radon risk and requires no further action.

This detached brownstone row home, likely built in the late 1800s had an addition built over a previously existing porch. The owner wanted us to make the rooms in this addition warmer in winter.

An Energy Audit conducted by Lawson Home Service found the problem was the way the space under the back porch addition had been enclosed and insulated.

A Dr. Energy Saver's CleanSpace™ Crawlspace Encapsulation System was installed, which included installing SilverGlo™ insulation on the walls, and a thick layer of spray foam on the rim band between the floor joists. With this simple and effective method the insulation hanging from the floor was no longer necessary. The access door was replaced with an air tight EverLastTM Crawl Space Door.

Now the addition room will be comfortable all year long, thanks to the work of Lawson Home Service's hard-working crew.

Radon, a sneaky gas that seeps through foundation cracks, can pose serious health risks with prolonged exposure. While it might be silent and invisible, protecting your family's health is paramount. That's why a Wilmington resident wisely chose Lawson Home Services for radon mitigation system installation.

At Lawson Home Services, we understand the importance of proactive radon mitigation. Our team conducts thorough evaluations, pinpointing potential entry points for radon gas before it becomes a problem.

A simple test can easily determine radon levels in your home. High results shouldn't cause panic, but they do require action. Lawson Home Services can be your guide – from initial testing to system installation and post-mitigation verification. We'll help you create a safe and healthy haven for your family.

This three story townhouse, built in 2007, had 7" fiberglass batts on the attic floor. The R value was approximately R18. 

This old insulation was removed to provide a totally clean attic floor. This is done so the attic floor can be air sealed, a crucial step in preventing expensive loss of conditioned air into the attic. In addition, it was necessary to re-route the bathroom fans so they terminated properly on the roof, rather than in the attic.
Once all the prep work was thoroughly completed the crew blew in a 17" blanket of TruSoft™ Cellulose insulation, tripling the R-value for a cozy comfortable R60. Kudos crew! The homeowner was happy with the results.
