Water Damage, Mold and Restoration Companies in the Grand Island, Nebraska Area

What Makes Grand Island, Nebraska Different

Grand Island sits on the flat Platte River valley, where strong spring and summer storms bring hail, high wind and tornadoes. In 1980, a series of tornadoes struck Grand Island in one night and destroyed hundreds of homes. After any big storm, have the roof checked even if nothing is dripping yet.

The water table in the Platte valley sits close to the surface, so basements seep and sump pumps run often in wet seasons. Heavy rain can also raise the Wood River and the creeks around town and flood low streets and yards. A standard homeowners policy does not cover flood.

Winters are cold and windy, and pipes in exterior walls, crawlspaces and garages freeze and split. A sump pump with a battery backup, a dehumidifier in the basement and heat tape on exposed pipes prevent a lot of damage.
