How do Omaha and Lincoln compare underground?
Omaha has older combined sewers in the central city, and Lincoln has a newer, mostly separate system.
That changes what a storm does to a basement drain, and it is why Lincoln's guidance focuses on backup protection devices and clear-water connections.

What causes Nebraska sewer backups?
Storms, shifting soil and mature trees. Plains thunderstorms can overload older systems.
Loess and clay soils move with moisture, and old shade trees reach clay joints. Ask about sewer camera inspection, tree root removal, commercial grease line jetting, and sewer line jetting. Other states are collected on the areas we serve page.
