Duct Sealing in Rehoboth Beach

Challenge

Living in Delaware has many advantages, but the region is notorious for causing seasonal allergies and they seem to be growing worse each year. This Rehoboth Beach homeowner wanted to reduce allergens and dust in her home that were causing issues for her and her husband. Lawson Home Services crew and techs have seen this so many times - leaky, dirty HVAC duct work scattering dust and allergens throughout the home.

In this home the matter was made even worse by the way the construction of HVAC ductwork. This ductwork consists primarily of insulated "duct board" and where possible makes use of "panned" floor joists and hollow interior wall cavities. The interior surfaces of all these types of duct work are rough and particularly notorious for snagging and collecting dust and dirt. There is another major problem with these types of ducts - they are very leaky and result in high heating and cooling costs for the homeowner.  

Solution

Lawson Home Services (LHS) is a Dr. Energy Saver Contractor - we employ science-based best practice methods. The best solution for the allergy problem was three-fold: Clean the existing dirt and dust from the ductwork implementing Lawson's Platinum Air Duct Cleaning Service; Seal the ductwork with AEROSEAL™, a revolutionary process invented by a University of California science professor. Aeroseal™ is a glue like substance that seals the ducts from the inside, sealing leaks that would otherwise be difficult or even impossible to seal properly from the outside with tape or silicon caulk. The Breathe EZ UVC™, was installed, an Ultra-violet light which kills mold and bacteria right inside the HVAC air handler unit.
