Basement Waterproofing in Omaha, Nebraska

The foundation at this Omaha property showed the wear typical of homes built in Nebraska's expansive clay soils, where seasonal moisture shifts stress both the structure and exterior drainage systems. The before assessment revealed surface cracking in the concrete apron, inadequate drainage around the foundation perimeter, and settled concrete flatwork that directed water toward the structure rather than away from it. The expansive soils in this region demand careful attention to both foundation support and site drainage to prevent progressive damage.

Epp Foundation Repair addressed the issues with a multi-phase approach across 4 site visits. The crew installed beam jacks to provide supplemental support to the foundation structure, established yard drainage systems to redirect water away from the foundation perimeter, and restored the concrete flatwork with new control joints sealed with joint sealant to prevent water infiltration. The finished driveway and patio areas now feature properly sealed joints and correct slope for drainage. All work was documented with 124 on-site photos by a 3-member crew to ensure quality and provide the homeowner with a complete record of the repair.
