Omaha deals with tornadoes, blizzards, extreme temperature swings, and Missouri River flooding, and its insurance, finance, rail, and military communities rely on data every day. When a drive fails in Omaha, confirm online, ship from any carrier drop-off with a free prepaid label, and our engineers recover it in a cleanroom.
The Missouri River runs along Omaha's eastern edge, and in March 2019 record flooding swamped parts of eastern Nebraska, including much of Offutt Air Force Base south of the city. Heavy rain can also flood basements across the metro. Keep computers and backup drives off basement floors, have a sump pump with battery backup, and never power on a device that has been in water. Keep a copy of important files in the cloud or off-site.
Omaha sees severe thunderstorms, hail, and tornado warnings in spring and summer, and blizzards and bitter cold in winter. Swings from below zero to well above freezing can cause condensation in devices moved between cold cars and warm rooms. Storms bring outages and surges that damage drives. Use a UPS with surge protection, let cold devices warm up before powering on, and unplug electronics when a severe storm approaches.

Data recovery in Omaha — common questions
Our basement flooded and our NAS was on the floor. Should we try to start it?+
No. Powering a wet or contaminated NAS can destroy drives that are still recoverable. Unplug it, remove the drives if you can do so safely, note their order, and seal each in a plastic bag. Confirm your case online; NAS and RAID systems get a free evaluation and a custom quote.
I am being transferred from Offutt. Can I ship a failed drive before I leave?+
Yes. Confirm your case online and we email a free prepaid label for any carrier drop-off. Recovered data can be sent to your new address. For a single device the price is a flat $1,200, paid only if we recover your data.
Do I have to visit a location in Omaha?+
No. ClearQuote is a mail-in service — there's no drop-off required. We email you a free prepaid shipping label, you send the device from anywhere in Omaha, and we handle the recovery in our ISO-certified cleanroom.
How much does data recovery cost in Omaha?+
One flat $1,200 for the consumer devices we handle — hard drives, SSDs, phones, and cards — quoted before you ship. There are no per-gigabyte fees and no diagnostic charge, and you pay $0 if we can't recover your data.
