A homeowner in Bear, Delaware, contacted us to inspect her current radon mitigation system. She had researched radon safety and learned that the piping should be higher and away from windows for proper ventilation.

Lawson Home Services has a strong reputation for high-quality radon mitigation services and excellent customer satisfaction. Our experienced professionals examined the system and found it didn't meet safety and code requirements due to the piping being too close to the window and at the wrong height.

We also discovered that the fan suction was too high, which could decrease the system's effectiveness and lifespan. Given these issues, we recommended replacing the system with a new, compliant setup. We proposed relocating the piping higher and away from the window for better ventilation and choosing a fan with optimal suction.

By upgrading to a compliant system, the homeowner can achieve better safety, improve indoor air quality, and gain peace of mind. We provided support and guidance throughout the process, helping the homeowner make informed decisions about her radon mitigation needs.

Lawson Home Services, the number one radon protection company on the Delmarva Peninsula, installed yet another radon mitigation system in this Bear, DE home. It was previously thought radon was not a big concern on the Delmarva Peninsula. But recent testing is proving that untrue.

The EPA recommends homeowners consider installing equipment to reduce the indoor concentration of radon gas any time the average levels reach 2.

Unacceptable indoor concentrations of deadly radon gas, the second leading cause of lung cancer, is found in one of every fourteen American homes. Is yours one of them? Find out. 

Energy efficiency solutions not only keep your home well insulated but are also incredibly cost effective in the long run.  When Bear, DE homeowner Robert M. found that his attic’s insulation was wearing thin, he decided he needed a long lasting solution.  Robert began asking around at work and among friends and family for a reputable contractor. Shortly after he was referred to DES Delmarva by a neighbor who said they did good work.  Robert contacted them that same day for a free estimate.

Shortly after, Robert was met at his home by energy efficiency specialist Michael Alicknavitch who immediately took to his attic. Michael evaluated the situation and agreed that Robert’s insulation was wearing thin and needed to be replaced immediately.  Upon further inspection, Michael recommended that Robert have TruSoft blown-in insulation installed in his attic.  This type of insulation is ideal for insulating attic spaces.  With the recommendation agreed upon, Michael called in Production Team One to complete the process on Robert’s behalf.

After a short one day installation process, Robert’s attic is now more energy efficient than ever.  With TruSoft blown in insulation installed in his attic he should have no more energy problems for years to come!
