Lawson Home Services is the authorized National Radon Defense contractor in Delaware and the Eastern Shore of Maryland, providing radon testing and radon mitigation services.
Radon is an invisible, odorless gas that can cause lung cancer when inhaled over a long period of time. Radon is found in both old and new homes, and the greatest risk of radon exposure happens in homes and buildings that are airtight, poorly ventilated, and have foundation leaks that allow air from the soil to seep into basements and living spaces.
The only way to know if you and your family are at risk is to test the radon level in your home. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that a home be fixed if its radon level is 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) or higher.
If you're looking for radon testing or a radon mitigation system for your home, contact the certified radon contractors at Lawson Home Services today. They offer affordable testing options and solutions for safely reducing the radon level in your home.

Before
AfterThe region near Elkton, MD has some of the highest levels of naturally occurring radon on the Delmarva peninsula. The owner of this home was concerned about the elevated risks of lung cancer associated with exposure to radon decay particles. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, after cigarette smoking. It is estimated the risk of exposure to radon levels as low as 4.0 picocuries per liter of air is similar to that of smoking 10 cigarettes per day. If you are concerned about radon levels in your home, you can have it tested, and if necessary, take steps to mitigate radon gas infiltration. Here we see before and after pictures of a home that has been retrofitted with a radon depressuerization system. It functions by pulling the radon gas out of the soil beneath your home and venting it into the atmosphere above the roof line where it does not re-enter the home. Regardless of the levels found in your home you can take steps to lower your exposure. Call Lawson Home Services today.Radon Mitigation in Elkton, MD

AfterA radon Depressurization system was installed in this Middletown, DE home. Typically a hole is drilled in the concrete slab floor of a basement or crawlspace into which an air-tight fitting is installed. The fitting is connected to PVC pipe work that leads to an exhaust fan and stack that terminated above the roofline the home. The system works by creating a suction beneath the cement slab where the radon accumulated as it rises up from the soil beneath. Though harmful levels of radon can happen anywhere, levels tend to be considerably higher in the northern part of the Delmarva Peninsula. Consider having your home tested, especially if you live in this region.Radon Depressurization System Installed in Middletown, DE
