A homeowner in Wilmington contacted Lawson Home Services due to concerns about their indoor air quality and the need to finish their basement, which required radon mitigation installation.
The client had their radon levels tested, revealing a concentration of 4 pCi/L.
Our team promptly communicated with the client, provided a free quote, and scheduled a site visit upon approval. During the visit, our radon experts thoroughly explained the process and educated the homeowner.
We installed a radon mitigation system using the sub-slab depressurization method. The homeowner was pleased to have successfully reduced their radon exposure and mitigated the associated health risks.
A thoughtful homeowner in Wilmington, Delaware, aware of the health risks posed by radon gas, decided to take action and have their home tested. Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can seep into homes through cracks in the foundation or basement and accumulate to dangerous levels. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that nearly 1 in 15 homes in the United States has elevated radon levels, making testing crucial for ensuring a healthy indoor environment.
After researching local radon testing companies, the homeowner chose Lawson Home Services based on their reputation for quality work and professionalism. Lawson likely offers a variety of radon testing options, including short-term test kits that measure radon levels over 2-7 days or long-term alpha track detectors that provide a more accurate picture of year-round radon exposure.
The testing process itself is relatively simple and non-intrusive. The homeowner would have placed the radon test kit in the lowest livable level of their home, typically the basement, following the instructions provided. After the designated testing period, the homeowner would have mailed the test kit back to the lab for analysis.
Thankfully, in this instance, the client received positive news. Their radon readings came in below 2.7 picocuries per liter (pCi/L), which is the EPA's action level. This means that the homeowner's home has a low radon risk and no corrective action is necessary. However, the EPA recommends retesting your home for radon every 2 years, especially if you make changes to your home that could affect radon levels, such as installing a new well or adding a basement.
