Lawson Home Services Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Harrington, DE wanted to create a conditioned attic out of their vented attic. 

These homeowners had dirty and old attic insulation that needed to be removed. After the many months or years that insulation sits in the attic, it collects dirt, dust, rodents, etc. 

Not only did they need new their old insulation removed, they also needed a product that would properly insulate their vented attic. 

Vented attics can reach extreme temperatures do to air leakage. This causes the attic to not be suitable for storage as well as causes high utility costs.  

Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva has installed closed cell spray foam in layers along the bottom of the roof deck and sealed to the perimeter of the ceiling. This creates an airtight cap which stops air from leaking in or out of the attic. 

After spray foam insulation, the attic can be used for storage, the home is less drafty and it helps lower utility costs. 

A homeowner in Harrington, DE, reached out to Lawson Home Services for a professional radon measurement. Concerned about potential radon exposure, they wanted to ensure their home's air quality was within a safe range. The Lawson Home Services team used a reliable charcoal radon test kit to provide accurate and trustworthy results. If you're unsure about radon levels in your home.

The radon measurement results from the Harrington, DE, property indicate consistently low levels of radon across all five deployed detectors. Every reading was below 2.0 pCi/L, with a range between <0.6 pCi/L and <0.9 pCi/L. The average and median results both stand at 0.8 pCi/L, with a low standard deviation of 0.1 pCi/L, suggesting minimal variation between measurements.

From a quality assurance perspective, no duplicates or blanks were reported, and while additional QA tests may have been conducted on a blind basis, they were not included in the official laboratory report. This means the integrity of the data relies on the accuracy of the deployed detectors without external validation.

Overall, these results suggest that the home has radon levels well below the EPA action threshold of 4.0 pCi/L, indicating no immediate need for mitigation. However, periodic testing remains recommended, as radon levels can fluctuate due to environmental changes or structural modifications to the home.

Before: The duct system had significant air leaks, allowing conditioned air to escape and reducing energy efficiency.
After: After sealing the ducts with Aeroseal, we achieved an impressive 98% reduction in leakage, improving airflow, energy efficiency, and overall comfort in the home. The system was also thoroughly cleaned as part of our Platinum Air Duct Cleaning Service, ensuring a healthier indoor environment.
