What causes water damage in Nebraska

Hail and wind

Nebraska ranks near the top for hail claims, and damaged roofs leak in the next storm.

River flooding

The March 2019 flood, caused by rain on frozen ground and snowmelt, was the costliest in state history, along the Platte, Elkhorn and Missouri.

Frozen pipes

Long cold spells burst pipes in older homes and unheated spaces.

Homes and how they are built

Basements are standard. Omaha and Lincoln have older central neighborhoods and wide rings of newer homes with finished basements; rural homes rely on wells and septic systems.

When it happens

Hail season peaks May through July. Flooding follows late-winter thaws, and freezes run November through March.

Rules and insurance in Nebraska

Contractors must register with the Nebraska Department of Labor.

In every state, homeowners insurance excludes rising floodwater, which needs a separate flood policy. See what homeowners insurance covers.

Questions from Nebraska homeowners

Why was the 2019 flood so severe?

Heavy rain fell on deep snow and frozen ground, so nothing soaked in. Ice jams then pushed rivers out of their banks.

Does hail always cause a leak?

Not immediately. Bruised shingles lose granules and fail over time, so have the roof inspected after large hail.

How do I check a contractor?

Look up the contractor registration with the Nebraska Department of Labor.
