Fall: freeze prep
Before the first hard freeze, disconnect garden hoses, shut and drain outdoor faucets, and add insulated covers. Weatherstrip drafty doors and recaulk windows while it’s still warm enough for caulk to cure.

South Omaha homes and what they need
South Omaha grew around the stockyards and meatpacking plants, and its older streets are full of compact cottages and bungalows built for the families who worked there, many on small lots with steep basement stairs. Postwar homes fill in the neighborhoods farther south and west. Small houses get used hard, and the repairs reflect it: doors, walls, bathroom fixtures and basements.

Seasonal work in South Omaha
Compact older homes with exterior-wall plumbing are the ones that feel a hard Omaha freeze — disconnecting hoses and covering outdoor faucets in fall is a small job that heads off a big one.
Winter: cold-weather problems
Omaha winters bring stretches well below freezing. Pipes on exterior walls and in unheated spaces are the ones at risk; a split hose bib or a frozen line usually shows up as a leak once it thaws.
Spring: storm cleanup
Spring thunderstorms bring wind and hail that drop limbs and scatter debris across yards. Branches and storm debris get cut down, loaded and hauled away.
Summer: moving season
Late spring through summer is peak moving season, especially at month-end when leases turn over. Humidity also swells wood doors — the ones that stick in July.
