Radon Mitigation in Newark, DE
Challenge
This home in Newark, DE was tested for indoor radon concentration. The levels were found to be 2.9 pCi/l, within the range the EPA suggests homeowners consider installing equipment to lower the radon concentration inside the home.
Radon had been directly linked to an increased risk for the development of lung cancers. Since radon damages the DNA of the body, recent studies have been conducted to assess the role of radon in the development of other types of cancer. The results of these tests are indicating the grim reality that this may be the case.
Solution
Lawson Home Services installed a custom radon mitigation for this home.
Homeowners should be very wary of companies that under bid the cost of installing a radon mitigation system. Nowhere is the old saying "You get what you pay for" more important - because with radon mitigation you are entrusting the health of you and your family. Unscrupulous companies are out there, and they do not comply with the national radon mitigation system engineering and installation standards set forth by AARST, the American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologist.
If you have already had a radon system installed it should have been tested within 48 hours after the job was completed. There is a good reason unscrupulous radon mitigation companies don't bother to recommend you do this - because their systems aren't doing the job, leaving the trusting homeowners exposed to the elevated risk for lung cancer caused by radon.
Lawson Home Services is a company you can trust. We will test the radon levels in the home after our systems have been installed to ensure the homeowner the system is functioning exactly as it's supposed to.
