This new home owner in Berlin, MD, has lived in the home only a few months. She asked us to reduce the allergens and dust that she believed was coming from the HVAC ductwork.

Lawson Home Services specializes in HVAC and Dryer duct cleaning and got right to work. One thin Lawson Home Services does that many duct cleaning services do not, is to clean the coils of both the indoor and outdoor HVAC units. Not only is this necessary to remove one of the sources of dust and microbial growth, but it increases the efficiency of the HVAC equipment, extending its life, and reduces energy costs of heating and cooling.

Lawson Home Services recently performed the innovative AeroSeal HVAC duct Sealing process at this nice home in Berlin, MD.

HVAC ductwork is inherently leaky. The traditional methods of sealing ductwork was the application of duct tape and mastic to the joints and seams of the HVAC ductwork. But working from the outside it is nearly impossible to get to all of the cracks and seams due to tight spaces and proximity to ceilings and walls. The brilliant part about AeroSeal is that is seals from the inside out, getting to ALL leaky areas and sealing them with a gummy substance that will hold up to the extreme temperature changes of conditioned air running through them, unlike brittle mastic which eventually cracks and opens up leaks, and duct tape which loses its stickiness and lets go. 

Lawson Home Services also performs a Platinum Duct Cleaning Service prior to performing the AeroSeal process, so you end up breathing air that is a lot cleaner than it was before. And once the ducts are sealed the conditioned air will reach all the rooms, not just the ones closest to the HVAC air handler unit. 

Call Lawsons' today and have one of our Home Comfort Specialists visit your home to see if we can improve the comfort of your home while simultaneously reducing utility costs. It's a win-win situation. 

OOOH NOOO, this dryer vent in Ocean Pines, MD, was completely blocked and no air at all was flowing through the vent. If this had been let go it could have caused big problems, like dryer overheating and a possible house fire. Nobody needs that for sure. 
Luckily this homeowner noticed a problem and called Lawson Home Services right away. Donnie Lonski, Lawson Home Services' dryer vent cleaning specialist found the problem: the lint had encased the flap valve on the outside of the house. That was an easy fix. 
This problem can be nipped in the bud by scheduling an annual dryer vent clean out. The best part is that it will substantially lower the part of your energy bill necessary to run the clothes dryer, the most expensive home appliance to operate. 

Why not have Lawson Home Service perform your annual crawlspace inspection and service like this wise homeowner in Berlin, MD. Lawson's technician will take care of the following:

• Inspect the crawlspace floor and liner (if there is one)
• Service any dehumidification equipment located in the crawlspace
• Service the sump pump 
• Look for anything that should be brought to the attention of the homeowner, thus helping to forestall any issues before they develop into costly problems. 

While he is there, Lawson's technician will have a look around in your home if you like. He will be happy to inform you of issues he sees that you may wish to have Lawson Home Services address. Among the most common of these would be Dryer and HVAC duct clean outs, attic air sealing and insulation upgrades, crawlspace encapsulation, and radon testing and mitigation. 

This happens all the time: Vent hose gets crushed behind the washer because the flex hose is hard to control - it acts like a slinky and wants to go all over the place as you try to push the dryer in close to the wall. That's what happened in this Ocean Pines, MD home.

Lawson Home Services has a solution for this aggravation:  the ingenious Magvent™ device, with its powerful self-aligning magnets which automatically aligns the dryer vent hose. Never again will you have to be frustrated trying to reconnect your dryer after you have had to pull it out from the wall for whatever reasons. 

At Lawson Home Services we pride ourselves on using best practices. It's not always the least expensive way, but its the BEST way. Just like your dad always told you "Do it right the first time and you won't have to do it again."  Call us to schedule your dryer vent service, be it a simple clean out, repairs and improvements on your existing ductwork, or replacement of your entire dryer vent ductwork. 

Lawson Home Services recently performed the recommended annual maintenance on measures they had previously installed in this Ocean Pines, MD home.

This maintenance service encompassed a comprehensive inspection of the crawlspace liner to assess overall wear and ensure the integrity of all taped seams. Additionally, we examined the crawlspace entrance door for any indications of water intrusion or leaks. The functionality of the Sedona SaniDry™ dehumidification equipment was rigorously tested, and all hose connections were meticulously checked for proper placement. Furthermore, we removed, cleaned, and replaced the filter. Following these steps, we measured the humidity level of the air and assessed the moisture content of the wooden structures within the crawlspace, both of which were confirmed to be within acceptable parameters.

We look forward to our next visit for the upcoming scheduled routine maintenance.

Homeowners Ron and Karen S. of Berlin, MD found one day that water and humidity were traumatizing their crawl space.  Looking for an efficient and respected company to check out their crawl space, the couple contacted DES Delmarva after hearing good things about their work from their next door neighbors.  

Soon after contacting them, DES Delmarva sent out crawl space remediation specialist Raymond Bremmerman out to meet the couple at their home.  Immediately, Raymond asked to evaluate the crawl space, and what he found was an overwhelming amount of humidity and water in the crawl space.  After explaining the situation to the couple, Raymond went on to explain possible solutions.  Raymond recommended to stop water at the source by installing CleanSpace drainage matting, specifically made to allow no ground water penetration into the crawl space while effectively draining all the current water.  This in conjunction with a condensation pump and the recommended SaniDry CX dehumidification system will turn the water damaged crawl space into a dry and efficient crawl space.

With the recommendations agreed upon, Raymond called in Delmarva’s Production Team One to complete the installation and restoration process. With the waterproofing products working to maximum potential, the homeowners crawl space problems are a thing of the past thanks to the professionalism of DES Delmarva.

There are some problems that are hard to diagnose, which results in being overlooked.  Looking to upgrade the ducts running into her kitchen, Berlin, MD homeowner Sheryl O. wanted a company that could do exactly that.  Sheryl was referred to DES Delmarva, whom she contacted that day for a quote.

The following week, Sheryl was met by Michael Brittingham, a specialist from Delmarva.  After explaining her situation to Michael, Michael immediately began preparing her kitchen and her vents for the extension.  What he instead found was damage to her already existing ducts that was costing her money and wasting energy.  Michael explained to Sheryl and then continued on to explain the necessary solutions. Sheryl needed to have the ducts repaired and this would lead to the extension into her kitchen.  Along with this Michael highly recommended she have the ducts cleaned and sealed to allow maximum efficiency in the upcoming months.  Sheryl agreed that this was a good approach and  Michael called in Delmarva’s Production Team One.

Over the course of one day, Production Team One sealed, cleaned and extended her ducts, making Sheryl’s problems a thing of the past.  Thanks to the professionalism at DES Delmarva, Sheryl’s kitchen is to her liking and her ducts are back to normal!

When Berlin, MD homeowner Sheryl O. wanted to fix up her kitchen and extend her vents, she discovered that some of her ductwork was damaged.  Wanting an immediate fix to the problem, Sheryl began asking close friends and family for a contractor.  She was soon referred to Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva, who she contacted that same day.

The following week, Sheryl was met by Delmarva representative Michael Brittingham to discuss how to fix her problem and finish her kitchen.  After a careful inspection, Michael had ideas on how to fix her problem and finish the kitchen.  Michael recommended that Sheryl first get her ducts cleaned, as it would be much easier to get the job done with clean ducts.  Next, Michael noticed that parts of Sheryl’s ducts were allowing air to escape, and causing her heating and cooling bills to go up.  Michael recommended that she seal her ducts to prevent further loss of air and money.  Finally before extending the ducts, Michael recommended repairing the damaged ducts using flex duct.

With the process and products agreed upon, Michael called in Delmarva’s Production Team One to complete the process.  With the ducts fixed and extended to where Sheryl wanted them, Sheryl now can enjoy her kitchen once again. Thanks to the professionals at Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva, she will save money as well!

Joseph P. attended the Better Living Expo & Craft Show where he met some members of the Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva team.  He was interested in adding insulation to the space above his home’s sunroom so he contacted the energy experts for a free estimate. 

Michael Brittingham came out to assess the amount of insulation needed to sufficiently keep Joseph P.’s home comfortable.  He determined that spray foam insulation should be added to the attic, under the sunroom floor and between the rafters.  Spray foam insulation acts as an air barrier that seals air leaks and insulates at the same time.  It is also waterproof so that moisture will not seep through and decrease its effectiveness of slowing the flow of heat.

All in all, Joseph P. can now rest assured that his sunroom with not be a source of lost heat in the winter or heat gain in the summer.  Adding insulation to the attic and crawl space will have a positive impact on his home for years to come.

When your home isn’t sealed and air ducts aren’t clean, you could be losing energy and contaminating your home with unwanted allergens, dust and more.  This is where Sheryl O. found herself when she contacted Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva for some help. 

Energy specialist Michael Brittingham went out and met with Sheryl O. at her Berlin, MD home to assess the conditions and recommend a solution to her air leakage in the bath and kitchen vents, as well as dirty HVAC ducts. 

Sealing air leakage stops heat from leaking in or out of your house, it helps the HVAC system to work more efficiently, and keeps the conditioned air that you’re paying for where it’s supposed to be.  Also, the air duct repair and cleaning that Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva performed will keep Sheryl O.’s home comfortable, healthy, and allergen free.  She and her family can now breathe clean air and stay comfortable all year round.
