A Wilmington, Delaware homeowner didn't wait for potential problems – they took a proactive approach to their home's safety.  Concerned about possible radon exposure in the basement, their first step was arranging a professional radon monitor test with Lawson Home Services.  Given the basement's frequent use, ensuring a safe indoor environment was a top priority.

Radon testing can be a complex process, but using professionals like Lawson Home Services guarantees reliable results.  Their trained technicians are well-versed in proper radon monitor placement and testing procedures.  This meticulous approach ensures a clear picture of your home's radon levels.  In this instance, Lawson conducted the test and reported a reading of 1.4 pCi/L, which falls below the EPA's action level where no corrective action is needed.  While this is positive news, it underscores the importance of professional testing.  Improper testing methods can lead to inaccurate readings, potentially causing unnecessary worry or delaying crucial mitigation steps if radon levels are actually elevated.

This detached brownstone row home, likely built in the late 1800s had an addition built over a previously existing porch. The owner wanted us to make the rooms in this addition warmer in winter.

An Energy Audit conducted by Lawson Home Service found the problem was the way the space under the back porch addition had been enclosed and insulated.

A Dr. Energy Saver's CleanSpace™ Crawlspace Encapsulation System was installed, which included installing SilverGlo™ insulation on the walls, and a thick layer of spray foam on the rim band between the floor joists. With this simple and effective method the insulation hanging from the floor was no longer necessary. The access door was replaced with an air tight EverLastTM Crawl Space Door.

Now the addition room will be comfortable all year long, thanks to the work of Lawson Home Service's hard-working crew.

This three story townhouse, built in 2007, had 7" fiberglass batts on the attic floor. The R value was approximately R18. 

This old insulation was removed to provide a totally clean attic floor. This is done so the attic floor can be air sealed, a crucial step in preventing expensive loss of conditioned air into the attic. In addition, it was necessary to re-route the bathroom fans so they terminated properly on the roof, rather than in the attic.
Once all the prep work was thoroughly completed the crew blew in a 17" blanket of TruSoft™ Cellulose insulation, tripling the R-value for a cozy comfortable R60. Kudos crew! The homeowner was happy with the results.  

Living in Wilmington, Delaware, comes with its charm, but health-conscious residents know the importance of considering potential indoor air quality concerns. One such concern is radon gas, a naturally occurring, colorless and odorless gas that can seep into homes through cracks in the foundation or basement. While harmless in small amounts, prolonged exposure to elevated radon levels can pose health risks.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that nearly 1 in 15 U.S. homes have elevated radon levels. Taking proactive steps to ensure a safe living environment is vital. This is where radon testing comes in, and how Lawson Home Services can guide you through the process in Wilmington, Delaware.
