Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dewey Beach, DE

Before After
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dewey Beach, DE Dryer Vent Cleaning in Dewey Beach, DE

Energy costs for a dryer are the most expensive of all the appliances inside your home. Did you know that a clogged dryer vent can seriously decrease the efficiency of your clothes dryer and significantly drive up energy bills? It is the flow of warm air through the dryer that dries your wet clothes., and that moist air has to go somewhere - the dryer then exhausts it into the duct work which carries it outside the home. Each time you dry a load of clothes some of the wet lint gets past the screen inside your dryer (you know, the one you're supposed to clean after each load - you do that, right?). As this lint travels through the ducts it sticks to the inside. When this lint builds up the air flow through the duct can become so restricted your dryer might run for an hour or more and still your clothes might be damp. Simple enough to understand, right?

The dryer vent of this Dewey Beach, DE home was seriously clogged, which undoubtedly was causing the dryer to run much longer than necessary. As you can see from our before and after pictures, Lawson Home Services took care of the problem. 

Now the occupants of this home won't have to wait for hours for their clothes to get dry. "Ain't nobody got time for that." :-)

The homeowner called us out for duct cleaning but after talking with our Home Comfort Specialist, the homeowners realized that they no longer needed to live with the cold floors in the winter.

The Dr. Energy Saver Specialist did a thorough inspection and showed the homeowners how the problem could be fixed by removing the old nasty fiberglass insulation and spray foaming the floor underneath their home.

This homeowner now has a more comfortable home in the winter time with warmer floors and has reduced the amount of heating and cooling they will need to keep the home more comfortable year round.

Before we start going through the home, we will sit down with you to see what your primary concerns are, and we will make these issues a priority. Once we have completed the audit, we will talk with you again to go over the results and our findings.

Radon Testing & Mitigation 

Radon is a naturally occurring invisible & odorless gas that can have a big impact on the air quality of your home. Radon is also the second leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoke. High levels of radon gas are commonly found throughout Delaware & E. Shore Maryland and because radon gas cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted the only way to ensure that you and your family are not affected by this dangerous gas is to have one of our experts visit your home and perform proper testing. Radon testing is the fastest & most effective way to ensure the safety of your family. Depending on the results of the test, Lawson Home Services can offer several radon mitigation solutions that will limit exposure to the gas and also ventilate it away from your home. Our radon mitigation methods are highly successful and we always stand behind our work! To learn more about radon gas mitigation and testing call or click today!

Cold Bathroom floors and Dust in Rehoboth, DE

The homeowner of this home, built just ten years ago in in 2013 in Rehoboth Beach, DE had three issues she wanted us to address: Poor bathroom ventilation , cold bathroom floors; and dust throughout the house. In addition to the issues the homeowner specifically wanted to address, Lawson Home Service's auditor discovered many other deficiencies during the audit process and prescribed numerous items that could be addressed to bring the home to optimal condition for occupant comfort and reduced energy consumption. These were:

  • HVAC duct cleaning (which includes cleaning of the condenser and compressor coils)
  • Replace damaged exhaust vents for dryer on lower level of house and
  • Clean the ductwork for the dryer on the upper level.
  • Dense pack the garage ceiling (which is directly below the bathroom with the cold floors) with TruSoft™ Cellulose insulation
  • Replace the bath fan in the bathroom with poor ventilation with a new Broan Quiet Fan
  • Install Aspen High Performance Air Purification system to reduce dust
  • Air Seal the HVAC ductwork from the inside using Aeroseal™ duct sealant

Test in Dewey Beach, DE Home to find expensive HVAC duct leaks

Lawson Home Services conducts special HVAC duct leakage testing, required to meet building codes in the State of Delaware.

 

Here we see a duct which is sealed off and connected by a flexible hose to a special depressurization equipment. This equipment measures the suction it creates inside the ductwork and indicated the amount of air leakage caused by small holes left behind during the initial installation of the heating and air conditioning ducts.  If the leakage is too great then contractors must return to properly seal the ductwork.

 

Lawson Home Services can provide this same service to any homeowner who is looking to save money on energy costs of heating or cooling their home.  Contact us right away to schedule an energy audit that can show you ways to improve the efficiency and comfort of your home.

Poorly Insulated Crawl Space Leads to Multiple Problems in Rehoboth Beach Hom

As a homeowner, the last thing you want to worry about is the status of your crawl space, yet the crawl space is one of the most important pieces of your home.  When Rehoboth Beach owner James M. found that his floors were cold, he knew this problem was due to poor insulation within his crawl space.  Desperate for answers, James began searching for solutions online.  After searching for a few days, James contacted Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva after seeing their extensive repertoire of products.

The following week Delmarva sent out Raymond Bremmerman to James’ home to evaluate his crawl space.  After introducing themselves, James showed Raymond where the crawl space was.  After a quick analysis, Raymond noticed that in addition to James’ crawl space being poorly insulated, it also had signs of moisture, which could lead to musty smells in the short run and foundation problems in the long run.  After explaining the situation of his crawl space to James, Raymond proposed a few ideas: To fix the cold floors, Raymond suggested the installation of 2” and 4” SilverGlo insulation boards.  These boards are perfect and versatile for any situation.  To prevent future complications due to moisture, Raymond suggested a SaniDry dehumidification system.  This system is ideal for crawl spaces and can pump 109 pints a day, as well as work in temperatures as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit!  After explaining the process to James, he agreed on the products and had Raymond call in Delmarva’s Production Team One to install the necessary products.

After a quick one day installation process, James’s home has never been better insulated and protected against future moisture threats and its all thanks to the professionals at Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva.

Moisture Build Up Poses Problem for Rehoboth Beach Crawl Space

When Rehoboth Beach homeowner Steven M. found that moisture was building up in his crawl space and creating a musty smell, he knew he was in trouble.  Desperate for answers, Steven started his search for companies online.  After some time of searching, Steven came across Dr. Energy Delmarva, who he contacted for more information.

The following week, Steven was met by Delmarva representative Michael Tucker.  Steven explained his situation to Michael, who, immediately after took a look at the crawl space.  

Michael found slight condensation on the walls and floor of the crawl space which could lead to a musty smell over time.  Michael proposed to Steven that he have a SaniDry CX dehumidification system  installed within the confines of his crawl space.  The SaniDry is capable of removing 109 pints of water a day and can operate in temperatures as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit.  It is an ideal system for crawl spaces.  In conjunction with this a condensation pump was installed as well as an EverLast crawl space access door.  This combination of products will drain current moisture and prevent future moisture and water from seeping through the crawl space door and flooding the crawl space.

With the recommendations agreed upon, Michael called in primary foreman David Lawson and his crew came in and installed the necessary products.  Thanks to the professionals at Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva, Steven’s crawl space will no longer be a burden on him or his home.
