Frequent hailstorms damage roofs and siding. Cold winters bring ice dams on older roofs and frozen pipes in exterior walls.
Older homes have stone or brick foundations and clay sewer laterals, and newer suburban homes often have finished basements. Dundee and Benson are full of early-1900s homes with full basements, original plumbing and stone or brick foundations. West Omaha's newer homes often have finished walkout basements, where a sump failure or heavy rain is expensive to clean up.
Licensing in Nebraska: Nebraska requires contractors to register with the Nebraska Department of Labor. Ask for the registration number and proof of insurance.
