Taking Action for a Healthy Home Every family deserves a safe and healthy living environment. Jim, a Middletown, Delaware homeowner, took proactive steps to ensure his family's well-being after discovering elevated radon levels in their 1995 home. Having lived there for three years, they were particularly concerned about the long-term health risks associated with radon exposure, including an increased risk of lung cancer. Lawson: Your Partner in Healthy Living Knowing the importance of a healthy home, Jim contacted Lawson Home Services, a company known for its expertise in radon mitigation. Lawson's team conducted a thorough inspection, addressing Jim's concerns and meticulously evaluating the property. A crucial step in this process was a professional radon monitor test, which revealed levels exceeding the EPA's action level (5.8 pCi/L). This confirmed the need for a mitigation system to safeguard Jim's family. Clear Communication, Lasting Results With a clear understanding of the situation, Jim readily accepted Lawson's free and transparent quote outlining the recommended solution. Our certified radon mitigation specialists then began the installation process, using meticulous methods and high-quality materials. This comprehensive approach involved: Strategic Pipe Placement: Lawson experts meticulously planned a network of pipes beneath the basement slab, ensuring efficient capture of radon gas with no escape route. Powerful Yet Efficient Radon Fan: A high-performance fan was installed to effectively remove radon gas while minimizing energy consumption. Manometer Monitoring: For long-term peace of mind, a manometer was installed to continuously monitor the system's effectiveness, ensuring optimal performance. Sump Pump Pit Attention (if applicable): If Jim's home had a sump pump pit, Lawson ensured its proper sealing to prevent radon gas entry. Crack Sealing: Identified cracks in the foundation were meticulously sealed with high-quality materials, creating a comprehensive barrier against radon intrusion. Success Measured, Peace of Mind Delivered The successful installation significantly reduced radon levels in the home. A follow-up test confirmed this success, with levels dropping to a much safer 1.6 pCi/L, well below the EPA's action level. This significant reduction in radon levels provided Jim and his family with immense peace of mind. Now, knowing their home is a safe haven, they can breathe easy and focus on enjoying their healthy living environment.
