Georgetown, DE's Proven Radon Mitigation & Insulation Contractor

The Sedona SaniDry™ dehumidifier was installed in this Georgetown, DE home some time ago. Lawson Home Services was called to do the annual maintenance on it. This service is quick and inexpensive, but the paybacks are well worth it. 

During the service we do the following:

• Filters are removed, cleaned and replaced.
• The unit is checked to see the settings are correct and have not been changed.
• We test run the unit and check the output to see the machine is performing as it should.
• Condensate pump operation is checked and hoses are inspected and cleaned as needed.

As you can see in the "before after" picture below, the unit is set to 43% and the humidity of the output, as measured by a sensitive test instrument shows the unit is maintaining exactly the same humidity. Everything here is A-okay. See you next year.

Kids can be hard on a home systems, especially when HVAC registers are located on the floors of the home. This Georgetown, DE homeowner wanted to reduce dust and allergens in her home. Lawson Home Services' sales person, Michael Medianick, went out to assess the situation. 

Michael found dirt, debris, parts of children's toys, and even Goldfish Crackers down inside the registers. Much of the debris had gone even deeper into the ductwork. The inside of the ductwork was a fuzzy mess. The return duct was showing a major mold bloom which was feeding off the moisture in the air and the dirt being sucked into the return register.

Seriously adding to the dust problem was a disconnected dryer vent connection which turned a huge amount of fine lint particles into the air. 

There is only one solution when the problem gets this bad: Lawson's Platinum Duct Cleaning Service. When Lawson's meticulous crew gets done your ductwork will look like it was just installed brand new. 

Dryer vents can easily become kinked and disconnected. Lawson Home Services solves this problem quickly and easily with MagVent™ magnetic dryer vent connector which automatically aligns and pulls the flex duct tight against the outlet fitting. 
Typically in these situations we also recommend sealing the ductwork from the inside with AeroSeal™, an amazing product designed by a brilliant research scientist at the University of California. 

Lawson Home Services Energy Auditor, Ryan Wurzel, recently conducted an audit at this recently constructed home in Georgetown, DE. The homeowner called because he was experiencing unusually high humidity levels in his home, as were many of his neighbors in the new Hawthorne development on Route 9 east of Georgetown. 
The testing confirmed the home was built very tight and needed no additional air sealing. The duct work was sealed with mastic and tape. The problem with this is that mastic cracks and tape fails to hold over time. This leaves the possibility of developing leaky ductwork in the future, having the potential to drive up energy costs. One solution to this is to have the duct work sealed from the inside out with Aeroseal™. 

High humidity levels in crawlspaces is to be expected in this Mid-Atlantic coastal climate. The solution is simple: Install a Sedona SaniDry™ dehumidifier in the crawlspace. This homeowner has requested we return for this installation so he can be sure his new home will not start growing mold and the wooden floor structures will not become soggy and begin rotting.
