Lawson Home Services Before & After Photos

After seven years in their Newark, DE home, this family learned their radon level had reached 5.3 pCi/L using a consumer-grade detector. With allergy concerns in the household and a clear understanding of radon’s health risks, they didn’t want to wait any longer. They chose Lawson Home Services because expertise mattered most—and they wanted the job done right the first time. The home, built in 2002 with a sump pit and exterior drain tile, had no crawlspaces or recent additions, making it a straightforward install. Our team designed and installed a custom mitigation system that now keeps radon levels in check and gives this family peace of mind. If you've been putting off radon mitigation, now’s the time to act—let Lawson Home Services help protect what matters most.

This homeowner contacted Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva stating, "We are losing the battle with heating our home." To find a solution to their comfort issues we sent Home Comfort Specialist Michael Alicknavitch to do an inspection of their entire home. In doing so, he found that the attic lacked an adequate amount of insulation as well as air sealing. The production crew removed the old insulation, air sealed the attic and installed blown-in cellulose insulation.

This homeowner in Bear, DE was experiencing a cold, damp basement as well as high electric bills. 

This uncomfortableness in their home was caused by their Vented Crawl Space with a dirt floor. This allows cold air to be leaked into the home in the winter months and warm air in the summer months. This causes high condensation creating mold growth and wood rots.

Dr. Energy Saver has created a simple solution to their problem by using a CleanSpace Encapsulation system. All air leaks to the outside are sealed with insulated vents. The result is warmer floors, lower humidity in the crawlspace and lower electric bills. 

Not only are all problems matched by Dr. Energy Saver, but now the homeowners are energy efficient while saving money.

Radon and open sump pumps.

When inspecting a home for a possible install of a radon mitigation system one of the first things we look for are open penetrations and cracks that are in the basement or crawl area.  We want to make sure our pressure barrier (the walls and floor) are sealed as tight as possible so we don’t suck conditioned air from the home and/or make our mitigation system work harder than it needs to.

Along with any cracks and floor joints we ALWAYS make sure our sump pits are securely covered and sealed as you can see.

When a daycare facility in Bear, Delaware, reached out to Lawson Home Services with concerns about radon levels, it was clear that protecting the health of the children and staff was a top priority. After carefully following all state guidelines for radon testing in child care centers, the team confirmed the need for mitigation. The center chose us because of our expertise and commitment to safety. Our crew, led by David Lawson, efficiently installed a radon mitigation system that met all state and national safety standards. With radon levels now well below the recommended limit, the daycare is a much safer environment.
