Omaha water damage cleanup and restoration
Omaha sees severe storms, hail and heavy rain from spring through summer, and the Missouri River and Papillion Creek can flood low areas, as the 2019 floods showed across the region. Winters are cold and windy, so frozen pipes and ice dams are common, and spring rain fills basements.

Does my Omaha homeowners policy cover sump pump failure?
Often only with a water backup or sump pump endorsement. Check your policy before spring storm season.
What should I do if my Omaha basement floods?
Stay out of the water if outlets or appliances are submerged, stop the source if you can, take photos, and get the water out and drying started within 24 to 48 hours.
How do I keep my Omaha basement dry in spring?
Keep gutters clear and extend downspouts several feet from the foundation, make sure the soil slopes away from the house, and test the sump pump before storm season. A battery backup keeps the pump running when storms knock out power, which is when basements usually flood.
