Sump Pump Installation and Repair in Omaha

A properly functioning sump pump is crucial for preventing basement flooding, especially during heavy downpours.

We make sure your pump is correctly sized and installed to handle the water volume, giving you peace of mind.

Floor Drain and Backwater Valve Repair in Omaha

A basement floor drain that backs up during heavy use or a storm typically points to a blockage or a failed trap. We clear the drain, check the line to the main sewer and replace cracked traps and covers. Installing a backwater valve stops sewage from pushing back into the basement if the main line surcharges. We set the valve where it can be serviced without trouble.

Clogged Drain Tile Repair in Omaha

Interior or exterior drain tile systems can become clogged with sediment or tree roots over time, leaving them useless. We focus on diagnosing and clearing blockages in these critical drainage systems, restoring their ability to divert water away from your basement walls and foundation in Omaha.

Wall Leak Solutions in Omaha, NE

Beyond foundation cracks, we address leaks originating from basement walls due to porous concrete or masonry. Our methods include applying waterproof coatings and sealants that create a tough barrier against moisture. We also inspect for exterior drainage issues that might contribute to wall saturation, offering comprehensive solutions for your Omaha home.

Waterproofing for Older Nebraska Homes in Omaha, NE

Many older homes in Omaha and across Nebraska were not built with modern waterproofing techniques, making them more vulnerable to basement leaks. Mid-century houses usually have copper supply pipe, while newer homes typically use PEX and plastic drains. FKV Plumbing focuses on retrofitting older foundations with current solutions, addressing issues like failing mortar, porous concrete, and inadequate drainage. We preserve the integrity of historic structures while providing modern protection.

Water Heater and Appliance Leak Repair in Omaha, NE

Water heaters, softeners and laundry machines are often installed in basements, and their leaks pool fast. A dripping T&P valve, a corroded tank bottom or a split washer hose are frequent culprits. We repair or replace the failed part and install drain pans and leak sensors to catch future problems early. If a tank has rusted through, we can replace it the same day in most cases.

Interior Drainage Systems in Omaha

When exterior excavation isn't feasible, interior drainage systems provide an effective solution for managing basement leaks. We install perimeter drains along the basement walls, collecting water before it can surface and directing it to a sump pump for removal. This system is less disruptive and can be a cost-effective way to dry out a wet basement.

Drain and Sewer Pipe Leak Repair in Omaha, NE

Cast iron drain stacks in older homes crack and scale with age, and plastic joints can separate if a line was poorly supported. These leaks usually show up only when an upstairs fixture runs. We run water through each drain while watching the basement, then confirm the crack with a camera. Repairs range from a single section swap to replacing an entire stack with PVC or ABS.
