Why is Radon a Problem?

Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the natural decay of uranium and is found in nearly all soils. Radon moves up through the ground and into your home through cracks and openings in the foundation. Your home then traps the radon inside, where it can build up. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to radon can significantly increase your potential for lung cancer. Any home can have a radon problem, including new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with basements, crawl spaces and slab-on-grade foundations. Luckily, a radon problem is easy to fix and Lawson Home Services offers effective systems and professional installation.

Our Radon Mitigation Method: Sub-Slab Depressurization

Radon mitigation and testing in Dover

Lawson Home Services's radon mitigation system uses sub-slab depressurization to reduce radon levels.

How sub-slab depressurization works in radon mitigation:

  • PVC pipe collects soil gasses
  • Radon is piped upwards in the building through the stack effect
  • A radon depressurization vent forces radon gas out of your house

As a full-service radon mitigation contractor, Lawson Home Services can install a radon mitigation system that is compatible with the current waterproofing system in your basement or crawl space.

We provides multifamily radon mitigation in compliance with the HUD Radon Policy. If testing confirms radon levels above 4 picocuries (pCi/L), mitigation must be performed by a radon professional reduce the level of radon gas in the air to a safe amount.
