Photo Album: Radon Testing in Middletown, Delaware
Taking action to test your home for radon is an important way to keep your family safe. By checking the radon levels in your home, you can rest easy knowing you're looking out for your loved ones. The best part? It’s an easy and affordable process that can make a big difference in protecting your health.
Radon is a tricky threat because it’s invisible and doesn’t have a smell. Without testing, you might not realize there's a problem with high radon levels.
For instance, a homeowner in Middletown, Delaware, reached out to us at Lawson Home Services for a radon test. Our team set up the testing device in a low-traffic area with low humidity, away from windows and doors.
Once the test device was set up, we provided the homeowner with clear instructions on how to maintain optimal testing conditions during the process. This included keeping windows and doors closed as much as possible to avoid any outside influence on the test results. After the testing period was over, our team collected the device and sent it to a certified lab for analysis.
A few days later, we received the results and promptly shared them with the homeowner. Thankfully, the radon levels in their home were within the safe range, offering peace of mind for the family. However, if the levels had been elevated, we would have walked them through the next steps for mitigation to ensure their home remained a healthy place to live.
If you’re not sure about testing by yourself, bringing in a professional can help ensure accurate results. Your family's well-being is worth it!
We're always ready to assist our community with radon testing and any necessary mitigation. Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you want to check your home's radon levels—your family's safety is our priority!
