THIS IS WHY WINDOW WELL COVERS MATTER!

Rainwater entered this basement through an egress window with an uncovered window well. These photos show the cleanup that followed: water extraction, carpet removal, and removal of affected drywall.

Before the next storm, take a few minutes to check your home:

• CHECK YOUR WINDOW WELLS. Make sure covers are properly fitted and in good condition. Clear leaves and debris from wells and drains. Covers must still allow emergency escape through the egress window.

• TEST YOUR SUMP PUMP. Make sure it activates and pumps water out properly. Check that the discharge line is clear and directs water away from your foundation. Test your backup system if you have one.

• REVIEW YOUR INSURANCE COVERAGE. Ask your agent specifically about storm damage, surface water intrusion, flood damage, and sewer or sump pump backup. Standard homeowners policies generally exclude flood damage, and backup coverage may require an added endorsement. Know your limits, deductibles, and exclusions before you need them.

A window well cover helps reduce exposure, but proper drainage and a working sump pump deserve attention too.

A FLOODED BASEMENT IS A BAD WAY TO FIND OUT YOUR SUMP PUMP QUIT!! 🌧️

Before the next storm rolls through, give these three trouble spots a little attention:

• SUMP PUMP: Test it before you need it. Check that the discharge line is clear and carries water away from your foundation. Have a battery backup? Check that, too.

• WINDOW WELLS: Missing, cracked, or loose covers can leave your windows exposed to rain and runoff. Check the covers and clear leaves and debris from the wells and drains.

• YARD SLOPE: Where does the water go when it rains? If your yard slopes toward your house, it’s directing runoff right toward your foundation. Address settled soil and low spots where water collects against the home.

Already noticing wet carpet, basement water, or stains on your walls and ceilings? Don’t assume everything is dry just because the surface feels dry. Moisture can remain trapped inside walls and beneath flooring.

Do you know what could be hiding behind your walls?

A small roof leak can leave more than a ceiling stain. Water can travel behind drywall, soak insulation, and damage surrounding materials before you notice anything is wrong. Hidden water damage can go unnoticed in closets, spare bedrooms, and rooms you rarely use.

After heavy rain or storms, take a few minutes to check your home. Catching signs of roof leak water damage early can help limit further damage and the need for more extensive repairs.

What should you look for?

• Yellow or brown water stains on walls and ceilings
• Bubbling paint, peeling wallpaper, or swollen baseboards
• New musty odors or visible mold growth
• Damp carpet near exterior walls
• Changes around windows, ceiling corners, and roof penetrations

Check closets and unused rooms frequently, especially after storms. Look behind stored items where safely accessible, and keep belongings spaced so you can inspect walls and corners.

Check safely from a dry, stable floor using a flashlight. Don’t climb onto your roof, cut into walls, disturb suspected mold, or press on a sagging ceiling. Keep away from water near electrical outlets, fixtures, and equipment.

Repairing a roof leak addresses the source, but it doesn’t automatically dry the materials inside your home. Professional moisture detection, structural drying, and water damage mitigation can help determine what needs attention.

Altru Restoration provides water damage restoration, emergency water removal, structural drying, and mold remediation in Omaha, Lincoln, and surrounding communities. Whether you’re dealing with storm damage, a leaking roof, or suspected hidden moisture, our IICRC Certified Firm can assess affected areas and explain the next steps.

Available 24/7 for emergency response. Message Altru Restoration or visit altrurestoration.com to request an assessment.

Why does Altru Restoration sandblast wood framing and decking after a fire?

Soot and smoke residue can settle into wood grain, around fasteners, and in tight joints that are difficult to clean by hand. Sandblasting helps remove stubborn soot and loose surface char from wood that has been assessed as suitable for restoration.

Proper fire damage restoration starts with evaluating the materials. Wood with structural damage may need to be replaced. For framing and decking that can remain, controlled blasting cleans the surface and prepares it for further smoke odor treatment, sealing, or repairs as needed.

Cleanup matters just as much as blasting! Loosened soot and dust need to be removed from the work area so residue isn’t left behind before rebuilding begins.

This process helps reduce sources of lingering smoke odor and gives us a clearer view of the wood underneath. Cleaning cannot restore structural strength, but it is an important part of preparing the property for repairs!

🏠 What’s living in your walls after the storm?

Water can disappear from sight while moisture stays trapped behind drywall, beneath flooring, and above ceilings, creating conditions for mold growth and damage that keeps spreading

With recent rain in the Omaha–Lincoln area and more thunderstorms in the forecast this week, now is the time to check your home or business for water intrusion. Basement flooding, sump pump failures, roof leaks, and stormwater intrusion can leave damage well beyond the puddle you can see

Wet walls, floors, and ceilings need attention. Left unaddressed, trapped moisture can lead to musty odors, mold growth, swollen drywall, buckled flooring, deteriorating building materials, and more extensive repairs. A surface that feels dry doesn’t mean the materials underneath are dry!

Altru Restoration provides 24/7 emergency water damage restoration for homes and businesses in Omaha, Lincoln, and surrounding communities. We help with water extraction, moisture detection, structural drying, dehumidification, and removal of materials that cannot be safely restored—with documentation throughout the process!

As an IICRC Certified Firm, we follow applicable IICRC S500 standards for professional water damage restoration. IICRC stands for the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, the organization that develops industry standards for professional cleaning and restoration. Our approach uses moisture measurements and site conditions to guide the work and verify drying progress.

Notice a ceiling stain, damp carpet, bubbling paint, or a new musty smell? Don’t wait for the next storm or visible mold to take action!

Contact Altru Restoration today to have the affected areas assessed!
