Which guide do you need?
No result yet? The Omaha testing guide explains where Douglas and Sarpy County residents get kits and when Nebraska requires a licensed tester. Already over 4? The mitigation guide covers how Nebraska licenses mitigation specialists and businesses, and the cost guide lays out price benchmarks and what a passive pipe in a post-2019 house can save you.
On the Iowa side of the river?
Council Bluffs and Carter Lake fall under Iowa's rules, not Nebraska's. Iowa requires credentialing through Iowa HHS for radon mitigation work.5 Our Des Moines guides walk through Iowa's credential rule in more detail.

Please note: Nebraska requires a DHHS license to provide radon measurement or mitigation services. This page is general information summarized from public agencies, not professional advice or a radon service. For a plan for your home, talk with a DHHS-licensed radon professional.
