Home Insulation, Duct Cleaning & Radon Mitigation Contractor Milford, DE

HVAC Ductwork is inherently leaky, costing the homeowner increased utility costs whenever the HVAC (air conditioning and heating) system is in operation. These leaks also cause some rooms to be harder to heat and cool because the conditioned air is leaking out of the ductwork before it is delivered into these distant rooms. And of course this can result in the occupants constantly fighting over the thermostat settings. 

Fortunately there is a quick and easy solution to leaky ductwork: AeroSeal™. With traditional methods of sealing ductwork the ductwork gets worse over time. Due to constant expansion and contraction with constant temperature changes, mastic cracks open leaving wide gaps. Heat causes duct tape to lose its stickiness over time - and it eventually lets go of the surface it was holding together. But Aeroseal is like chewing gum. The brilliant part of the this innovative process is that AeroSeal seals the ductwork from the inside out, sealing leaks that are difficult or impossible to reach with traditional duct sealing methods.

Have a look at the photos and see for yourself. The ductwork in this Milford, DE home was improved by over 71%. That's a difference you won't get with traditional methods. In addition, Lawsons performs a Platinum Duct Cleaning service before applying the AeroSeal. So when it's all done you'll also be breathing air that is a whole lot cleaner.

This job, in Milford, DE, was a fairly easy one. The homeowner had previously installed a Sedona SaniDry™ dehumidifier in his basement. This is a very trouble-free unit and requires only minimal maintenance: cleaning and replacing filters, checking the condensate pump and cleaning and/or replacing hoses, a test run of the equipment, testing the humidity inside the space, and testing the humidity of the air coming out of the machine. All of this takes just a short while. But it is essential to do these things to ensure your dehumidifier is functioning optimally. 

Don't forget to call us and schedule your annual maintenance. While or tech is there he may also be able to show you other ways Lawson Home Services can make your home more comfortable and save on your energy bills. 

Say GOODBYE to dangerous RADON GAS in your home with a radon mitigation system installed by Lawson Home Services.

This Milford, DE homeowner made a great decision to have her home retrofitted with a radon mitigation system for less than the price of an average home theater system. Isn't protecting your health from dangerous and unnecessary exposure inside your own home to deadly radon gas. Studies show this exposure is responsible for at least 15% of the number of lung cancer cases in the USA. You don't want a member of your household to become a statistic like those people you knew who never smoked a cigarette in their life, and didn't live with smokers, and yet had, or even died from, lung cancer.

Radon accumulation occurs everywhere. It naturally seeps up out of the ground beneath your home and it's particularly bad in Delaware and other surrounding states like Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. So why not have your home tested as soon as possible. Call us, or contact us online. We'll be happy to schedule your test in the near future. 

NO ONE WANTS TO BE BREATHING RADIOACTIVE PARTICLES. MANY UNSUSPECTING RESIDENTS ARE. ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AMONG THEM?

Lawson Homes Services, the leading experts in radon mitigation on the Delmarva peninsula, has been conducting radon tests across the region. The results are concerning: many homes are showing dangerous concentration of cancer-causing radon gas accumulating inside homes of unsuspecting occupants. This should be alarming to everyone in the region since Delaware is located in a geographic region within the USA, where high levels of radon gas is naturally released by the rocks deep in the earths crust. When this gas surfaces under the foundation of a home it can enter and accumulate, building to high concentration levels. 

So prudent homeowners, especially those with children or the elderly living with them, should have their home tested for radon gas. It also makes the best sense to hire professionals to do the job. Yes, you can buy an inexpensive test kit at your local hardware store and test your home. But those who are not trained radon mitigation specialists often fail to place the tests in the proper place. Many move the test around, which instructions clearly tell you not to do. So why not hire the experts to come and do it right?

This Milford, DE homeowner made the wise decision to have Lawson Home Services check out his home. Luckily, the levels inside were only at 0.5 pCi/l, below the action levels recommended by the EPA. But this could change over time. And that's why it makes sense, even if you've already tested you home, to do it again periodically. That way you can reduce your risk of becoming one of the 15% of lung cancer cases that were caused by exposure to this invisible, silent, odorless killer - RADON!

Laurie from Milford, DE wanted to reduce dust and allergens from her home. She knew much of it was probably coming from her HVAC ductwork. She knew who to call to get the job done right. 

Lawson Home Services sent John Carpenter, our expert duct cleaning technician. In no time John had the insides of this dusty dirty ductwork looking like new.

We also hope John convinced Laurie to have her ductwork sealed as it was quite clearly leaking profusely in many places (see the pictures) Leaky ductwork causes loss of huge amounts of energy when pressurize conditioned air the homeowner has paid to heat and cool is force through hundreds of tiny holes and leaks. The conditioned air quite literally leaks away before it every gets to the rooms where it is needed. 

Laurie, you know who to call when you decide to have your ductwork sealed.

Dr. Energy shall return next year 

Frank had his home tested for radon when he initially purchased it.  He wasn’t worried because he was told his level was 3pCi/L so he thought his home was “safe”.  A few years later he tested again “out of curiosity”--other neighbors that had moved in the neighborhood had installed mitigation systems.  He was told his reading was a 5.7pCi/L.  

We explained that the radon level in your home can fluctuate.  Even is you register an average of below the World Health Organization’s recommended level of 2.7pCi/L, that doesn’t mean your level will always remain below that number.

Since the family used the basement of the home often they wanted to take action.  The basement had been finished already but luckily we still had access to a good portion of their floating slab concrete floor.  

In the end we sealed as much of the basement floor as we had access to and installed a mitigation system with a properly sized fan to help decrease the level of radon in their home.

Lawrence and Joanne M. are homeowners in the town of Milford, DE.  When they decided they wanted to expand their kitchen vents to the exterior, they knew it wasn’t going to be an everyday task.  The couple decided to enlist the help of Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva after seeing positive reviews about them.

Shortly after contacting them, the couple was met by Delmarva representative Raymond Bremmerman.  The couple showed him the kitchen and explained the work they wanted done.  Raymond further evaluated the kitchen and other areas and concluded that more areas needed work, such as re-insulating parts of the attic and adding fans in the vents towards the exterior.  Raymond recommended for their attic that they install dense pack TruSoft 2” x 4” vinyl sliding and TruSoft blown in cellulose insulation.  For the couples kitchen, Raymond recommended routing fans in the newly extended vents to the exterior.  With the recommendations agreed upon, Raymond called upon Production Team One to install the necessary products.  

With the products installed, Lawrence and Joanne now have extended vents and a well insulated attic and its all thanks to the professionals at Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva!

Milford homeowner Earnest B. was looking for a solution to his faulty attic.  Knowing that it was only a matter of time before it was costing him more money than he could handle, he decided to enlist professional assistance. After seeing an ad for Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva in the newspaper he decided to take to the internet to check out their services.  He liked what he saw and gave them a call that same day.  

Earnest was soon met by energy efficiency specialist Michael Brittingham at his Milford home.  Earnest explained to Michael that he was having problems with his attic and wanted him to take a look at it.  Michael evaluated the attic and deduced that the previously installed insulation was wearing thin and needed to be replaced.  Michael took Earnest into his attic, pointed out the faulty insulation, and suggested Earnest install TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation; a long lasting, densely-packed solution.  Along with this a 2” SilverGlo rigid foam and radiant barrier would be installed to ensure the energy would be kept within the confines of the home.  Finally Michael noted that the whole attic would be air sealed for an added layer of protection.

Earnest was very impressed at the professionalism shown by Michael and asked for the products to be installed.  Michael enlisted the help of Delmarva’s very own Production Team One to complete the installation process.  With the attic freshly insulated, Earnest’s energy efficiency problems should be a thing of the past!
