Lawson Home Services Before & After Photos

Radon fans are silent guardians in the fight for healthy indoor air. These crucial components of a radon mitigation system continuously remove harmful radon gas from beneath your home (often from the sump pit) and safely vent it outdoors. Regular monitoring with a manometer ensures the radon fan maintains proper suction force. However, a faulty radon fan can render the entire radon mitigation system ineffective, allowing radon to accumulate in your home's breathable air.

A properly functioning radon fan typically produces a low hum. If you notice a sudden absence of this sound, or if your manometer shows no water movement, these could be signs of a malfunctioning radon fan. In such cases, it's crucial to contact qualified radon mitigation experts immediately.

Recently, a homeowner in Wilmington, Delaware, noticed the telltale signs of a faulty radon fan. Recognizing the importance of a healthy home environment, they promptly contacted Lawson Home Services. Our team of knowledgeable and professional radon experts responded quickly, providing clear explanations and efficient service. The homeowner was highly impressed with our expertise and streamlined process.

A lot of the attics we go in require you to walk across joists or unsecure planks of wood to access air handlers, duct work, and attic fans. To the inexperienced individual it can be a dangerous area to walk and climb across.  Other attics have entrances and areas that aren’t securely blocked off from insulation.  This can cause insulation and dust to spill into unconditioned areas of your finished home.  

At Lawson’s we install secure, durable dams and decking. (1) We insulate the deck to make sure we are not sacrificing insulation and (2) we create a safe and secure way to enter the attic and if necessary service your air handler or other equipment located in that area.  As an addition we can even expand the decking for extra storage.

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.
