After living in their Smyrna, DE, for two years, a homeowner was concerned when their consumer-grade radon detector showed elevated levels of 8.8 pCi/L. They chose Lawson Home Services (LHS) for their radon mitigation needs, drawn to the company’s reputation for quality work. To reduce the risk of radon exposure, our team installed a customized system, significantly lowering the levels to 0.9 pCi/L in post-installation testing. The entire process was completed efficiently, with careful attention to detail. If you're concerned about radon in your home, consider a mitigation system to help reduce your risk—reach out to LHS today for a consultation.
The underside of this overhang, also known as a cantilever, is directly connected to the floor of the above room. This homeowner previously had no insulation in this space, as can be seen in the before photo. The after image shows SilverGlo rigid board insulation installed in this Claymont, DE home, and air sealed by Dr. Energy Saver. This will prevent air from getting under the floor boards and causing temperatures changes in the room.
We have encapsulated a crawl space in Harrington, DE. We installed a CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System with perimeter drainage and drainage matting. It has a SmartSump with a remote alarm. The insulation was removed from the floor and we installed 2" foam board on the perimeter walls along with R-21 closed-cell foam in the rim joist. We also installed a Turtl Crawl Space Access System.
The floor was air sealed along with duct sealing to bring the total duct leakage under the current 2009 iecc code for new construction. The house leakage is now below average.
The flex duct in this new Kent County home didn't stay clean very long after construction. Dust from construction and the first couple years of residence settled in quickly. After the duct work was sealed to prevent outside air from entering, the Dr. Energy Saver crew cleaned the supply and return lines along with the indoor and outdoor units. This Harrington homeowner now has clean ducts and can breath easier.
This homeowner wanted an easier way to get in and out of their crawl space. After calling Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva and meeting with one of our Certified Home Comfort Specialists, the homeowner decided on a great product we offer called the TURTL. The only one of it's kind, the TURTL is an airtight, watertight and lockable crawl space access system that will not rust, rot or ever need painting. This wonderful product even comes in a variety of colors making it an aesthetically pleasing and useful addition to any home.
