Local Rigid Foam, Attic, and Blown Insulation Company Serving Harrington, DE

Lawson Home Services' staff and crew always try to go above and beyond regular expectations to please our customers, not only with the quality of our installation but with the attitudes and behaviors of our hard-working crews.. So we really appreciated hearing from Debra, long after we are gone. She sent us the following note:

"John,

Thank you for the work you did to ensure everything went smoothly with the crawl space encapsulation, and the attic sealing and insulation. I greatly appreciated your patience with my questions. You even took extra time to check out the buzzing sound in the crawl space. Danté, AJ and Kyle were a great work crew from start to finish. They kept me updated, worked hard throughout the day, and cleaned up each afternoon. Thank you again for a job well done. 

Debbie

P.S. Thank you so much for cleaning up all the water from the pipe leak!

This Harrington, DE homeowner asked Lawson Home Services if we could make her house less expensive to heat and cool year-round and make her floors warmer in the winter. Our answer was a resounding "YES!"

We did a complete energy makeover of this home starting in the attic where we doubled the insulation value and stopped conditioned air from leaking out of the house up into the attic and out into the wild blue. When the new insulation was blown in over top of everything it looked like the view out the window of an airliner flying high above the clouds - heavenly! 

Next, we attacked the crawl space - what a job that was. Even though this home was barely 30 years old the sagging insulation looked what you'd expect to find in a 70-year-old house - and it was doing absolutely nothing. In the wintertime the client may just as well have been standing on a frozen bridge. Water was puddling up under the plastic ground cover. And the dryer vent had a leak in it and was blowing soggy lint and hot humid air into the crawl space whenever she was drying clothes. Eventually that moisture gets absorbed into the wooden floor structures and starts the rotting process. But Dr. Energy Saver once again came to the rescue. We pulled all that nastiness out from under that house, cleaned it all up, and installed a nice clean white CleanSpace CrawlSpace™ Floor system. CleanSpace™ is a moisture and vapor barrier that acts to keep the crawlspace nice and dry year-round. Not only that, but by moving the insulation from the floor joists to the foundation walls the floors above stay nice and toasty (so does the crawl space itself.

We did many other things, but the list is too long to discuss here. Why don't you check out the picture gallery we did on this home and see for yourself. 

Even with waterproofing precautions made in a crawl space, there are other ways that moisture can find its way into one.  One of the ways is through a poorly installed or aging crawl space access door.  Homeowners Sandra and Richard N in Harrington, DE found that although their crawl space was properly waterproofed, water continued getting into it, which posed a problem for the couple. The couple decided they wanted professional assistance to determine why water was still making its way into their crawl space.  After looking for some time the couple came across Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva who they contacted that same day.

Delmarva sent out waterproofing specialist Raymond Bremmerman to meet the couple at their Harrington home.  After inspecting the area around the crawl space, both inside and out, Raymond determined that water was making its way into the crawl space through the access door, which showed signs of wear and tear.  To fix their problem, Raymond recommended the installation of The Turtl crawl space access system.  The Turtl is an alternative to a traditional crawl space door. Traditional products that are made of steel or wood tend to rust or rot over time respectively.  The Turtl is an ideal solution to surpass these problems and ensures an airtight seal, preventing moisture or pests from affecting the crawl space.  The Turtl also comes with an elevation ring for foundations that are slightly higher than what is suitable for the Turtl.  Finally the Turtl comes in three colors: beige, green and brown to match the surrounding area of your crawl space.  

Raymond called in Delmarva’s Production Team One to replace the old crawl space door with the newly purchased Turtl crawl space access system.  With the installation of the Turtl comes a sense of newly received security for the couple. They will no longer have water coming into their crawl space and its all thanks to the professionals at Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva!
