Radon Mitigation & Testing in Omaha, NE
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that seeps up from soil and collects in homes, especially basements. It's the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to the EPA, and Nebraska and western Iowa are among the higher-radon regions in the country. The good news: radon is easy to test for and usually straightforward to fix.

How a radon system works
- A suction point is drilled through the basement slab or set in a sealed sump pit.
- PVC pipe runs from the suction point to a radon fan mounted outside, in the garage, or in the attic.
- The fan creates gentle negative pressure under the slab and vents radon above the roof.
- Major cracks and openings are sealed, a manometer (U-tube gauge) shows the system is running, and a follow-up test confirms levels have dropped.
Most single-family homes are done in a day. Typical Omaha-area cost is roughly $1,200 to $2,500; see the radon mitigation cost guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What radon level requires mitigation?
The EPA recommends fixing your home if radon is 4.0 pCi/L or higher, and considering mitigation between 2 and 4 pCi/L, since there's no known safe level.
Do radon contractors need a license in Nebraska?
Yes. Nebraska licenses radon measurement and mitigation specialists and businesses through the Department of Health and Human Services. Iowa has its own certification for Council Bluffs-area work.
