Omaha, NE - With the fourth highest state average for indoor radon levels throughout the U.S., Nebraska is in dire need for radon testing and mitigation, which is exactly what Thrasher Basement Systems has to offer local homeowners.
As a radon mitigation expert, Thrasher Basement Systems tests environments for radon levels and makes suggestions to help the owner reduce the levels inside the structure.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and is the result of uranium decay of soil. It can be found almost anywhere and culminates in the lowest level of a structure, such as a basement. As a colorless, odorless and otherwise unnoticeable gas, radon can be present in very high levels without anyone even knowing. This, Thrasher warns, is what makes their job so important.
The Environmental Protection Agency recommends 4.0 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) as the established action level, and Nebraska's state average is 5.5 pCi/L. In addition, 53 of its 93 counties are in the high risk level, 24 counties are in the moderate risk level, and 16 counties are in the minimal risk level. Although just predictions, these figures demonstrate the need for all locals to have their homes and jobs tested.
