Radon gas, a natural byproduct of soil decay, can seep into homes, posing health risks, and contribute to outdoor air pollution if left unchecked. Recognizing this dual threat, an environmentally responsible homeowner in Newark, Delaware, chose Lawson Home Services for their personalized approach and proven expertise in radon mitigation.
Lawson's radon specialists conducted a comprehensive inspection to assess radon levels and identify the optimal location for a mitigation system. This involved not only testing the indoor air quality but also evaluating the suitability of an existing passive system, if present.
Following the inspection, Lawson presented a detailed proposal outlining the recommended mitigation system. This system typically includes:
Radon Pipe: Installed beneath the foundation slab or within the sump pit (if present) to collect radon gas.
Radon Fan: Strategically placed in the attic or crawlspace to create suction and draw radon gas out of the home, venting it safely outdoors.
Manometer: A gauge permanently installed to monitor the system's effectiveness in continuously drawing out radon.
The proposal would also detail the sealing of any openings or cracks in the foundation to prevent new radon infiltration.
Once the homeowner approved the proposal, Lawson's skilled installers efficiently implemented the system. Upon completion, a post-installation radon test was conducted to confirm a significant reduction in indoor radon levels, ensuring a healthier living environment.
The homeowner expressed great satisfaction with Lawson's services, particularly their personalized approach, clear communication, and expertise, which resulted in a successful mitigation system and improved indoor air quality.
