Radon Testing & Mitigation
Radon is a naturally occurring invisible & odorless gas that can have a big impact on the air quality of your home. Radon is also the second leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoke. High levels of radon gas are commonly found throughout Delaware & E. Shore Maryland and because radon gas cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted the only way to ensure that you and your family are not affected by this dangerous gas is to have one of our experts visit your home and perform proper testing. Radon testing is the fastest & most effective way to ensure the safety of your family. Depending on the results of the test, Lawson Home Services can offer several radon mitigation solutions that will limit exposure to the gas and also ventilate it away from your home. Our radon mitigation methods are highly successful and we always stand behind our work! To learn more about radon gas mitigation and testing call or click today!
Why they needed a radon mitigation system: The homeowner had recently purchased a house in Centreville, MD, and after conducting a short-term radon test, they discovered that the radon levels were at 6 pCi/L. Concerned about the elevated levels, which posed a potential cancer risk, especially with the link between radon and lung cancer, they wanted to act swiftly to reduce the radon exposure for their family.
Why the customer chose the company: After researching companies in the area, the homeowner selected Lawson Home Services due to their expertise in radon mitigation and strong reputation for fast and reliable service. They felt confident that Lawson could quickly address the elevated radon levels and ensure a safer home environment.
What's causing the problem: The radon was seeping into the home from the ground through the foundation. Houses built in 2004, like this one, can still have radon issues due to gaps, cracks, and sump pits, allowing the naturally occurring gas to accumulate to dangerous levels indoors.
How We Fixed the Problem (Mitigation Process):
- Conducted a thorough inspection to confirm the radon levels and assess the home’s layout.
- Installed an exterior radon fan to effectively vent the radon gas out of the house.
- Positioned a strategic pipe system to guide radon from the foundation safely to the outside.
- Fitted a manometer to monitor system pressure and ensure continuous optimal operation.
- Sealed the sump pit to maintain proper drainage while preventing radon from entering the home.
- Verified that the radon levels were reduced from 6 pCi/L to a safer 1.4 pCi/L.
What's unique about this situation: The homeowner acted immediately upon discovering elevated radon levels, even though they had just moved into the house. The prompt response allowed us to address the issue quickly, ensuring the home was safer before the family fully settled in. Additionally, the home’s sump pit required special attention to prevent radon intrusion while maintaining proper drainage functionality.

Our experienced radon mitigation contractors designed and installed a system specifically tailored to the home's layout and radon levels, utilizing established techniques and top-notch equipment.
Uniqueness of the Situation:
This case highlights the importance of proactive radon testing, even in newer homes. Radon levels can vary greatly from house to house, regardless of age.

In Centreville, Maryland new homeowners were very concerned about their health and durability inside of their home. They could smell the odors coming in from the crawlspace along with the humidity level inside of the crawl space being too high contributing to standing water and sweaty ducts.
Dr. Energy Saver then came out and observed their crawlspace finding multiple problems leading to why the family was in discomfort. After going over everything that we wanted to do as a result of the visit, we then proposed a solution to fix the problems they were facing.
Our production crew came out and first, removed the insulation that was underneath the house. Next installing a drainage system which controls the water in your crawlspace and allows it to be drained then pumped away. After the drainage system is in place, we added our sump pumps and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier which controls the relative humidity inside the crawlspace.
Last adding our CleanSpace, Drainage Matting, and 2" Silverglo on the side walls. Encapsulating this crawlspace helped these homeowners improve the indoor air quality inside the home along with a much more energy efficient crawlspace.
