Water damage in Gretna
Gretna has grown fast, and much of the town is newer subdivisions with large finished basements. Those basements are where most water damage happens. When a sump pump fails or a storm sends more water than the pit can handle, the water lands on carpet, drywall and furniture that soak it up.
New houses have their own weak spots. Plastic supply lines and push-fit fittings can fail if they were installed badly. Washing machines and water heaters in finished spaces leak where nobody sees it until the carpet is soaked. A sump discharge line that runs across the yard can freeze in winter and back water into the pit.
Older homes near downtown Gretna see more seepage through foundation walls and more trouble with original plumbing. Either way, a crew can get the water out, find out how far it spread, and dry the structure. Crews cover the 68028 ZIP code and the surrounding parts of Sarpy County.
