A Smyrna, Delaware homeowner, proactive about their health, became concerned about potential radon exposure after learning about its long-term effects. Understanding the importance of healthy indoor air, they sought a company known for its expertise and efficiency in mitigating radon gas. Lawson Home Services emerged as the trusted choice, thanks to their professionalism and proven track record. Addressing Potential Concerns with Expertise: Lawson Home Services understands the importance of creating safe living environments. Upon contact, our team conducted a thorough assessment of the homeowner's concerns and the property itself. This included evaluating potential entry points for radon gas, such as cracks in the foundation or around the sump pump pit (if present). Professional Testing and Clear Communication: Following the assessment, Lawson Home Services conducted a professional radon test to determine the exact level of radon gas present in the home. Once the results were available, we provided the homeowner with a transparent and detailed free quotation outlining the recommended course of action. This clear communication built trust and empowered the homeowner to make an informed decision. Efficient Installation with Long-Term Focus: Confident in Lawson Home Services' expertise and the proposed solution, the homeowner readily accepted the quote. Our team of certified radon mitigation specialists then began the installation process, prioritizing efficiency and long-term effectiveness: Strategic Pipe Placement: The optimal location in the basement slab was identified for drilling a hole for the radon pipe, the pathway for drawing radon gas out of the home. Sump Pit Sealing (if applicable): A special sealant was applied around the sump pump pit to prevent radon gas from entering the living space through this potential pathway. Radon Pipe Installation: The radon pipe was meticulously installed throughout the basement, ensuring proper connection to the rest of the system and reaching the designated exit point. 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. 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 and Peace of Mind: Once the installation was complete, we conducted a follow-up radon test using a fresh test kit. This crucial step verified the system's effectiveness. The results were a resounding success! The post-installation test revealed a significantly reduced radon level of 0.8 pCi/L, well below the EPA's recommended safe action level.
