Taking Action for Clean Air A homeowner in Milton, Delaware, prioritized their family's health after a short-term radon test revealed a concerning level (7 pCi/L) exceeding the EPA's recommended action limit (4 pCi/L). With someone in the household having health concerns related to indoor air quality, addressing the issue promptly was crucial. That's why they contacted Lawson Home Services, known for their expertise and affordability. Lawson Home Services: Delivering Quality and Value Lawson's commitment goes beyond simply offering quotes. Following the initial contact, their team conducted a thorough assessment of the Milton home. Understanding the urgency and the client's budget concerns, Lawson provided a clear and competitive proposal for a radon mitigation system. Efficient Installation, Proven Results Upon the client's approval, Lawson's experienced radon installers wasted no time. They employed a proven technique, sub-slab depressurization, to effectively remove radon gas from beneath the foundation. This method creates a negative pressure zone, drawing radon gas out of the soil and safely venting it outside the home. Here's a closer look at the multi-step installation process: Strategic Pipe Placement: Lawson experts meticulously planned a network of pipes beneath the basement slab for 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 the Milton 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 (although not typically part of sub-slab depressurization, it could be included if necessary). Verification and Peace of Mind Lawson's commitment to quality extends beyond the installation. They provided a post-mitigation test kit to verify the system's effectiveness. The final results provided peace of mind for the homeowner, knowing their family could now breathe easy in a healthier environment.
