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.

Areas we serve

We match homeowners across the Omaha area, including these communities and ZIP codes:

ZIP codes are 2020 Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, which closely approximate USPS ZIP codes. We list ZIPs that make up a substantial share of each community, so edge ZIPs that barely touch a town are left out, and some ZIPs span two towns.6 Not on the list? Send the form anyway, and we'll tell you if we can help.
