The Leak Detective

The Leak Detective inspects and diagnoses water intrusion in basements, foundations and building envelopes, then recommends repairs, often drainage or grading work, that aim to fix the cause rather than just the symptoms. Its inspections cover basement leaks, architectural leaks in roofs, walls and windows, and drainage and site construction such as French drains, grading and sump pump installation. The owner, Gus, is an architect and former civil engineer whose drainage experience drives much of the work.

Inspections are scheduled by appointment, and a free consultation is offered. Reports detail the cause of the leak and recommended fixes, and the business serves Lincoln and Omaha, with service to wider Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and South Dakota. Customers say the work is thorough and cost-conscious.
