Lawson Home Services Before & After Photos

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. 

In Smyrna, Delaware, a worried homeowner reached out to Lawson Home Services, troubled by the high radon gas levels detected in their home. Wanting the best for their family, they chose Lawson Home Services for their reputation in radon mitigation expertise. Their recent radon test showed levels as high as 5.1 pCi/L, prompting immediate action.

After thorough assessment, our team recommended installing a sub-slab depressurization radon mitigation system to effectively reduce radon levels. The homeowner was relieved to have found a reliable solution and expressed gratitude for our expertise and prompt response. With the mitigation system in place, they can now breathe easier, knowing their home is a safer environment for their family.

Basement windows that were installed in the past were typically made of metal which rust and seize up, with single pane glass which provided almost no insulation value, and were also very leaky. These poor quality windows resulted in huge energy losses and drove up utility costs. 
Lawson Home Services installed new EverLast™ replacement windows in the basement of this Viola, DE home. These  beautiful windows are constructed with reinforced vinyl, which do not rust, or seize up. The glass is double-pane which provides insulation. EverLast™ basement windows are available in two types (shown in the "After" photo above), fixed window or sliders that can be opened.
Lawson Home services also installed other energy saving features in the older home. One is an air-tight flue cap which is operated with the damper control. This flue cap stops a lot of heat loss when the fireplace is not in use. A big energy saver.
