Breathing Easy in Lewes: Lawson Home Services Creates a Safe Haven from Radon A Lewes, Delaware homeowner, concerned about potential radon exposure in their basement, reached out to Lawson Home Services. Our commitment to healthy homes and expertise in radon mitigation made us the trusted choice for addressing this potential health risk. Assessment and Action: Our team conducted a thorough assessment of the homeowner's basement. This included evaluating potential entry points for radon gas, such as cracks in the foundation or around the sump pump pit. Following the assessment, we presented a clear and comprehensive proposal outlining the recommended radon mitigation system. Confident in our expertise and the proposed solution, the homeowner gave the green light to proceed. Expert Installation with Long-Term Focus: Lawson Home Services takes pride in meticulous craftsmanship and long-term solutions. Our certified radon mitigation installers followed a proven process to ensure optimal performance and lasting effectiveness: Sealing the Sump Pit: If present, a special sealant was applied around the sump pump pit to prevent radon gas from entering the living space through this potential pathway. Strategic Pipe Placement: Our team identified the optimal location in the basement slab to drill a hole for the radon pipe. This pipe serves as the pathway for drawing radon gas out of the home. Radon Pipe Installation: The radon pipe was meticulously installed, ensuring proper placement and connection to the rest of the system. Radon Fan Installation: A powerful yet energy-efficient radon fan was strategically placed within the system. This fan continuously draws radon gas from the sub-slab area and vents it outside the home, ensuring effective removal. Manometer Monitoring: A manometer was strategically placed within the system to provide a visual indication of the suction power created by the radon fan. This allows for ongoing monitoring and system optimization to maintain peak performance. Verifying Success: Once the installation was complete, we conducted a post-installation short-term radon test. The results were a resounding success! The radon level dropped significantly, measuring a safe 1 pCi/L, well below the EPA's recommended safe action level. Peace of Mind Achieved: This homeowner can now breathe easy, knowing their basement is safe from the dangers of elevated radon. Lawson Home Services takes pride in helping families create healthy and secure living environments.
