Lawson Home Services Before & After Photos

Back in 2020, Laswon Home Services were called to address foul odors coming from the crawlspace of this Camden Wyoming, DE home. Our Energy Auditor went into the crawl space and found that it had only a thin layer of black plastic, which had been laid directly onto the dirt floor of the crawlspace. This plastic was not sealed to the edges of the walls, and, in fact, you could actually see the dirt around the edges of the plastic. Ground moisture was evaporating and traveling around, and even through the thin black plastic, ending up raising the relative humidity of the crawlspace air and then condensing on and being absorbed into the wood structures supporting the first floor. The evidence was clear to see: mold was growing all over the wooden floor joists.
Lawson Home Services removed the musty damp insulation, pulled out the ineffective black plastic and installed the Dr. Energy Saver CleanSpace™ Crawlspace Encapsulation System and a Sedona™ SaniDry Crawlspace Dehumidifier. 

This homeowner made the wise decision to set up an annual maintenance schedule with Lawson Home Services. A technician now returns annually to perform a number of things, among them inspecting the CleanSpace liner and servicing the Sedona™ SaniDry dehumidifier, and makes sure everything continues to function as good as it did the day it was installed. This home passed the 2023 inspection with flying colors. We'll see them next year.

When radon levels soar, property values plummet due to health concerns and costly remediation requirements.

In Camden Wyoming, Delaware, a homeowner gearing up to sell their residence took the proactive step of installing a radon mitigation system to ensure safety and attract potential buyers.

Equipped with the radon mitigation system, new homeowners can relax, knowing they've addressed potential indoor air quality issues and reduced the hazards linked to radon exposure.

One of the homeowners in Felton, Delaware reached out to Lawson Home Services because they needed help reducing the radon levels in their house.

They used a radon detector and found out the levels were dangerously high, which worried them about their family's health.

Since their home was new, our radon installers had a chat with them to plan the installation.

We installed a Radon Mitigation System with drain tile suction and put covers on the sump baskets. The homeowner was really happy with how everything turned out.

Sealing the insulation in this wall section was among the many improvements Lawson Home Services did in this Smyrna, DE home.
The problem here is the backside o0f this fiberglass insulation has no air sealing. As a result its ability to insulate is seriously compromised by an effect known as "wind washing" where small air currents drive right through the open fibers and allow transfer of the energy the insulation is intended to block. The solution is to install SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation over top. The SilverGlo™ provides three levels of comfort and energy protection. First, the air flow is blocked, stopping the wind washing effect. Second, it provides an additional layer of insulation. And third, because it is shiny, it reflects radiant heat off the surface, which is very important when summer temperatures in the attic can reach 150 degrees. 

A children's club in Smyrna, Delaware enlisted Lawson Home Services to conduct radon testing. Our radon specialists strategically placed devices in different locations within the area to ensure accuracy. It's commendable for the club to prioritize the children's well-being, as radon testing is the sole method to know if we're truly safe.
