Water damage and mould remediation in Omaha
Restoration firms for drying and mould removal.
12 pros in Omaha
In July 2021 a storm knocked out power to 188,000 homes and businesses in the Omaha area, which the article calls OPPD's biggest outage in history. For anyone dealing with water damage or mould here, an outage like that matters: when power fails, sump pumps stop, basements can take on water, and wet materials sit while you wait for service to return. If you are hiring for drying out, restoration or mould removal, start with registration. All contractors doing business in Nebraska must register with the Nebraska Department of Labor, and a contractor working under more than one business name needs a separate registration number for each name. Ask for the registration number under the exact name on the quote or contract, and check that the names match. Ask for the scope of work in writing, including which rooms and materials are covered, and how drying will be confirmed before anything is closed up again. Keep your photos and the written paperwork together in one place.
