Prioritizing Indoor Air Quality

A Smyrna, Delaware homeowner, concerned about the health of their family and their home's indoor air quality, took a proactive step. They conducted a radon gas test, revealing levels exceeding the EPA's recommended limits for radon exposure. Understanding the potential health risks associated with long-term radon exposure, they promptly sought a solution from a qualified radon mitigation company.

Basement windows that were installed in the past were typically made of metal which rust and seize up, with single pane glass which provided almost no insulation value, and were also very leaky. These poor quality windows resulted in huge energy losses and drove up utility costs. 
Lawson Home Services installed new EverLast™ replacement windows in the basement of this Viola, DE home. These  beautiful windows are constructed with reinforced vinyl, which do not rust, or seize up. The glass is double-pane which provides insulation. EverLast™ basement windows are available in two types (shown in the "After" photo above), fixed window or sliders that can be opened.
Lawson Home services also installed other energy saving features in the older home. One is an air-tight flue cap which is operated with the damper control. This flue cap stops a lot of heat loss when the fireplace is not in use. A big energy saver. 

Older homes are notorious for leaking air.  Air leaks mean loss of energy and increased utility costs of heating and air conditioning. This problem is typically caused by many factors. This home in Viola, DE had leaky basement windows which were replaced with EverLast™ vinyl windows. But perhaps one of the biggest losses was occurring around the fireplace damper. These are hard to seal and result in huge amounts of energy loss. Lawson Home Services installed a Airtight Spring Top Chimney Cap , which is operated by a cable connecting it to the damper control. This certain helped reduce the the air leak in this home.
The blower door test readings shown in the before and after photos above are proof of the reduction in air leakiness of this home - CUT IN HALF! This will have a huge impact on utility costs for this happy homeowner. 

The numerous leaks and cracks in the ductwork of this 1964 Colonial Style home in Claymont, DE did not escape the eagle-eye of Lawson Home Services Specialist, Troy Rowland. This home, built over half a century ago, had numerous issues, but this metal ductwork was particularly leaky. In fact it was so leaky it almost went completely off the scale of the equipment measuring it.

But this was no problem for our steadfast crew. They went to work and soon the numbers began falling. When the work was finished the duct leakage was about one-fifth the amount it was before the work began.

Good job Troy, for discovering those leaks to begin with, and  thank you to the hard working crew for sealing them right up. We know this homeowner is going to be a lot more comfortable in the cold winters and hot humid summers to come in the following years. 

This home in Harrington, DE, built in 1989, needed a lot of upgrades. There were so many things this home needed. This wise homeowner chose to invest in a complete makeover of both her attic and crawlspace. In addition, all her HVAC and Dryer vent duct work were cleaned out, and air sealed to prevent costly unwanted leaks. We even cleaned off her HVAC coils (which really needed it). 

When it was all finished the homeowner was delighted. She even sent us a kind note in the mail, to let us know she was very happy with the workers during the process. It's so nice to know our efforts to go above and beyond do not go unnoticed.
