Action level4.0 pCi/LWhy radon is a real issue in the Omaha area
You cannot see, smell or taste radon. A short test tells you what is in your air. Here is what the public data says about our area.
That is why we install radon mitigation systems in basements, slab homes and crawl spaces. The EPA calls radon the second leading cause of lung cancer, and says to test every home below the third floor (EPA guide). Homes next door to each other can test very differently, so a neighbor's number tells you little about yours.

What the numbers mean
Radon is measured in picocuries per liter, or pCi/L. This is the EPA scale most Omaha home inspection reports use.
Outdoor air has about 0.4 pCi/L. Nebraska homes often test much higher because radon moves up from the soil and collects in closed-up basements, especially in winter. With today's systems, radon in most homes can be brought to 2 pCi/L or below (EPA Consumer's Guide to Radon Reduction).
Got a test result of 4.0 or more?
What EPA Zone 1 means for an Omaha-area home
The EPA sorts every county into one of three radon zones. The zone is a prediction. It is not a test of your house.
| EPA zone | Predicted average indoor level |
|---|---|
| Zone 1 | Above 4 pCi/L |
| Zone 2 | From 2 to 4 pCi/L |
| Zone 3 | Below 2 pCi/L |
Those are the EPA's zone definitions on its Nebraska radon zone map. The same map says it should not decide whether a single home gets tested. The EPA says to test every home, in any zone.
Why 4.0 pCi/L matters
The EPA action level is 4.0 pCi/L. At 4.0 or higher, the EPA says to fix your home. From 2 to 4, it says to think about a fix (EPA Citizen's Guide). State testing data tells the same story for our area. Douglas County averaged 4.8 pCi/L, Sarpy County 5.3 and Cass County 8.0 (Nebraska DHHS county report). The EPA also says levels below 4.0 still carry some risk, so a result of 2 or 3 is worth a second look.
What an average cannot tell you
An average is a group number. Your house has its own soil, its own slab and its own air flow. A home on the same street can read much higher or much lower. The test is the only way to know, and it takes a few days.
How zones and building codes fit in
The EPA made the zone map to help states and cities set radon-resistant building codes (EPA zone map). Nebraska has required radon-resistant features in new buildings since September 1, 2019 (Nebraska DHHS RRNC summary). That rule is about new construction. It does not replace a test in the home you live in now.
What to do next
No test yet? Order one or book a test with us. Already have a number of 4.0 or more? Send it with the form, and we will plan the fix. Between 2 and 4? Talk with us about your options. Read more on our page about radon levels in the Omaha metro by county.
How a radon mitigation job works
- Call or send the form. Share your city, your test number and your foundation type. Tell us if the basement is finished.
- We look at the house. We check the slab, the sump pit, the walls and where a pipe can run without hurting your living space.
- You get a clear written bid. It lists what goes in, where the fan sits and what testing follows.
- We install the system. A suction point goes through the slab, a pipe carries the gas out, and the fan sits outside the living space.
- We label it and show you the gauge. You learn how to read the warning device and what the fan should sound like.
- You retest. A test after the fan has run at least 24 hours proves it works.
The fan sits outside the living area, in the attic, garage or outdoors. The pipe must end above the roofline and away from windows. See the Nebraska new-construction rule for the same pipe and labeling basics.
What our customers say
Four notes from homeowners we have worked with around the metro.
We recently discovered elevated radon levels in our home and contacted Omaha Radon Mitigation for help. From the initial conversation through installation, everything was handled professionally. The technician explained the entire process, answered all our questions, and did an excellent job installing the system. Great experience from start to finish!
Excellent service! We had been concerned about radon in our basement and finally decided to have something done about it. Omaha Radon Mitigation made the process incredibly easy. They were punctual, knowledgeable, and very professional. We really appreciated how thoroughly everything was explained.
We couldn't be happier with the service we received. The team was friendly, responsive, and took the time to explain our radon mitigation options. Installation went smoothly, and everything was left clean and organized. It's great working with a company that genuinely cares about its customers!
Very impressed with the overall experience. The technician was friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful of our home. Everything was explained before the work began, and the installation was completed efficiently. Omaha Radon Mitigation made what initially seemed like a complicated process very simple.

Licensed, insured and local to the Omaha area
We have served the greater Omaha area for many years, and we are licensed and insured. That matters here for a simple reason: radon work is regulated. In Nebraska, anyone who measures or mitigates radon for pay needs a state license. In Iowa, radon mitigation specialists need an Iowa credential, and that rule covers companies from other states that work in Iowa (Iowa Administrative Code 641-44).
Every bid we write names the system type, the fan location and the test that follows. You can read how we choose a system on our page about radon mitigation system installation, and you can see the metro numbers on our county radon levels page.
What you get
- Licensed and insured crew
- Written bid before work starts
- System built for your foundation
- Post-install test explained
- Plain answers, no pressure

Questions people ask us
Do you offer radon mitigation in Omaha NE and Council Bluffs IA?
Yes. We install radon systems across Omaha, West Omaha, North Omaha, Bellevue, Papillion, Gretna, Bennington, Fremont, Plattsmouth and Council Bluffs, plus the smaller towns around them. See the full service area.
What radon level needs a mitigation system?
The EPA says to fix a home at 4.0 pCi/L or higher and to consider fixing it between 2 and 4 pCi/L (EPA Citizen's Guide). If your test is in that range, we can talk through the next step.
How long does a radon mitigation install take?
Most basement systems are installed in a single visit. Hard jobs, such as a finished basement with a long pipe run or a crawl space, can take longer. We tell you the plan before we start.
Do I need to test again after the system goes in?
Yes. A test after the install proves the system works. The standard sets that test after the fan has run at least 24 hours and within 30 days (ANSI/AARST SGM-SF), and the EPA suggests retesting at least every two years after that (EPA).
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Nebraska requires a state license for anyone who tests for or fixes radon for pay (Nebraska DHHS), and Iowa has its own credential for work on the Council Bluffs side. We are licensed and insured, and you can check any radon pro in the state license lookup.
Can sealing cracks fix my radon problem by itself?
Usually not. The EPA does not recommend sealing alone because it has not been shown to lower radon much or reliably (EPA Home Buyer's and Seller's Guide). Sealing helps a fan system work better.
How do I get a quote?
Press the quote button or call. Tell us your city, whether you have a test result, and what kind of foundation you have. We will plan the next step from there.
