Action level4.0 pCi/LPlaces in and around West Omaha we work
Millard
A Millard home with a stub pipe from construction may only need a fan and a gauge to become an active system.
Elkhorn
In Elkhorn, new homes may already have an attic electrical box, which makes adding a fan a short job.
Boys Town
We test around Boys Town at the lowest living level, and we tell the owner what the number means.
Chalco
Chalco is on the Sarpy County side, so the county average is a bit higher than Douglas.
Westside
If your Westside house has a daylight basement, the fan can often go on an outside wall.
Pacific Heights
Pacific Heights homeowners who plan a basement finish should test first, then build the pipe path in.
Linden Estates
For a Linden Estates home with a walkout, the vent can leave through the side wall where roof access is hard.
Harvey Oaks
Harvey Oaks buyers can add radon to the inspection, so the number is back before the repair window ends.

Radon questions in West Omaha
Do newer West Omaha homes still need a radon test?
Yes. Radon-resistant features help, but the only way to know your number is to test. The EPA says to test all homes below the third floor.
What is a stub pipe?
It is a passive pipe built into a new home. A fan can make it active.
Do you serve Elkhorn and Millard?
Yes, both, along with Boys Town, Chalco, Westside and nearby subdivisions.
Does a walkout basement change the plan?
Often it makes things easier, since the fan and exhaust can sit on an outside wall.
Do I need a permit for a fan on a stub pipe?
Only if a new circuit or outlet is needed. The local permit office makes the call.
