Lawson Home Services Before & After Photos

This homeowner contacted Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva stating, "We are losing the battle with heating our home." To find a solution to their comfort issues we sent Home Comfort Specialist Michael Alicknavitch to do an inspection of their entire home. In doing so, he found that the attic lacked an adequate amount of insulation as well as air sealing. The production crew removed the old insulation, air sealed the attic and installed blown-in cellulose insulation.

This homeowner in Bear, DE was experiencing a cold, damp basement as well as high electric bills. 

This uncomfortableness in their home was caused by their Vented Crawl Space with a dirt floor. This allows cold air to be leaked into the home in the winter months and warm air in the summer months. This causes high condensation creating mold growth and wood rots.

Dr. Energy Saver has created a simple solution to their problem by using a CleanSpace Encapsulation system. All air leaks to the outside are sealed with insulated vents. The result is warmer floors, lower humidity in the crawlspace and lower electric bills. 

Not only are all problems matched by Dr. Energy Saver, but now the homeowners are energy efficient while saving money.

Radon and open sump pumps.

When inspecting a home for a possible install of a radon mitigation system one of the first things we look for are open penetrations and cracks that are in the basement or crawl area.  We want to make sure our pressure barrier (the walls and floor) are sealed as tight as possible so we don’t suck conditioned air from the home and/or make our mitigation system work harder than it needs to.

Along with any cracks and floor joints we ALWAYS make sure our sump pits are securely covered and sealed as you can see.

When a daycare facility in Bear, Delaware, reached out to Lawson Home Services with concerns about radon levels, it was clear that protecting the health of the children and staff was a top priority. After carefully following all state guidelines for radon testing in child care centers, the team confirmed the need for mitigation. The center chose us because of our expertise and commitment to safety. Our crew, led by David Lawson, efficiently installed a radon mitigation system that met all state and national safety standards. With radon levels now well below the recommended limit, the daycare is a much safer environment.

A radon Depressurization system was installed in this Middletown, DE home. 

Typically a hole is drilled in the concrete slab floor of a basement or crawlspace into which an air-tight fitting is installed. The fitting is connected to PVC pipe work that leads to an exhaust fan and stack that terminated above the roofline the home. The system works by creating a suction beneath the cement slab where the radon accumulated as it rises up from the soil beneath.

Though harmful levels of radon can happen anywhere, levels tend to be considerably higher in the northern part of the Delmarva Peninsula. Consider having your home tested, especially if you live in this region.
