Water damage and mould remediation in Lincoln
Restoration firms for drying and mould removal.
3 pros in Lincoln
Water damage in Lincoln often starts with a power problem or a drain problem. A windstorm LES nicknamed "The Howler" brought 83 mph winds and left more than 33,000 LES customers without power, and a cold snap that dropped the city to minus 31 led to rolling blackouts affecting roughly 44,000 customers. When power fails in winter, pipes can freeze, and when it fails in a storm, sump pumps stop. Drying out a basement also raises a city rule: under Lincoln Municipal Code, connecting a sump pump, roof drains or foundation drains to the City's sanitary sewer is a violation. So before you hire, ask how the company will pump out and discharge water, and have that written into the quote. Also check your insurance first. The Nebraska Department of Insurance says flooding is not covered under a homeowners policy, and flood policies leave out preventable damage such as mould from neglect. Ask for a written scope covering drying, mould testing and removal, and what is left to you.

Questions about hiring in Lincoln
Can a restoration crew pump water into the sanitary sewer in Lincoln?
Not from a sump pump, roof drain or foundation drain. Under Lincoln Municipal Code, connecting those to the City's sanitary sewer is a violation. Before work starts, ask the company where the pumped water will be discharged, and ask for that answer in writing in the quote.

Does my homeowners policy pay for flood water in my basement?
The Nebraska Department of Insurance says flooding is not covered under a homeowners policy. Flood insurance is a separate policy and normally takes effect 30 days after purchase. Call your insurer before you sign a restoration contract so you know what applies to your loss. Nebraska Department of Insurance (source, opens in a new tab)
Will flood insurance cover mould that grows after water damage?
Not always. The Nebraska Department of Insurance lists preventable damage like mould from neglect as not covered under flood policies. That makes fast drying important. Keep dated photos and records of when you found the water and when drying began. Nebraska Department of Insurance (source, opens in a new tab)
What should a water damage or mould quote include?
Ask for a written scope: which rooms and materials are affected, how they will be dried, how mould will be tested and removed, and what will be rebuilt. It should also list the timeline, who handles permits, and how you can compare it line by line with other quotes.
