The water may be gone, but the moisture can remain.

After the recent flooding, removing standing water is only part of the cleanup. Water can soak into flooring, drywall, wood, insulation, and other building materials, creating conditions where mold can begin to grow if those materials stay wet.

That’s why properly drying a flooded basement is so important. Removing damaged materials when necessary, controlling humidity, and drying the structure helps address the moisture you can’t always see.

This is what the recent heavy rain has looked like for some Omaha-area homeowners.

After the amount of rain we’ve received, saturated ground and overwhelmed drainage systems have left some basements with significant water intrusion.

Our crew was called to this home to get the standing water out and begin getting the basement dried.

If you found water in your basement after the recent storms, getting the water out is the immediate priority — but determining where it came from and why it happened is what can help prevent the same problem during the next heavy rain.

Heavy rain can put your home’s drainage and waterproofing systems to the test.

Before the next storm rolls through, take a few minutes to check the basics — your sump pump, gutters, downspouts, discharge lines, window wells, and grading around the foundation.
A little preparation now can help keep water moving away from your foundation and out of your basement.

Crawl spaces are naturally prone to moisture because of their location beneath the home and their proximity to the ground.

A properly designed crawl space waterproofing and encapsulation system helps control ground moisture, manage water beneath the home, and create a drier, more controlled environment.

Keeping moisture under control can also help protect floor joists, insulation, and other structural components from the long-term effects of a damp crawl space.

With the heavy rain and flooding across the Omaha area, many homeowners are finding water in their basements.

Saturated ground can force water toward your foundation, exposing drainage and waterproofing problems that may have gone unnoticed.

Cleaning up the water is only the first step. Finding out why it got in can help keep it from happening again.

Our crew opens the perimeter of the basement floor, installs the interior drainage system surrounded by pea gravel, and directs groundwater to the sump system before the concrete is restored. This is a critical part of basement waterproofing, helping collect and manage groundwater before it can enter the basement.

Water around a foundation naturally moves toward areas of lower pressure. After heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions, the soil surrounding a home can become saturated, increasing the amount of groundwater against the foundation.

As that pressure builds, water can take advantage of cracks, joints, openings, and other vulnerable areas to reach the basement. This is why basement water problems can appear even when there isn’t an obvious leak above ground.

Effective basement waterproofing starts with understanding how water is moving around and beneath the foundation, then choosing a system designed to control it.
