RADON


EPA RECOMMENDS EVERY HOME BE TESTED!

Radon is a cancer-causing natural radioactive gas that seeps into homes through the ground but you can't see, smell, or taste. If present in your home, it may pose a danger to you and your family's health.

We use a professional Continuous Radon Monitor in which the test will be performed for 48hrs. We carry the state required license from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services to perform Radon measurements.

BUSINESS LICENSE #RMB-1271 / MEASUREMENT SPECIALIST LICENSE #554
