What Our Customers Say
Trusted by Omaha homeowners and businesses for over 40 years.
After having multiple issues with delays and lack of customer service from other companies, Alternate Rain saved the day — and faster than expected. They are always looking out for the best interest of the customer, from Jackie in the office all the way to the crew on your sprinklers. Top-notch company.
They installed the sprinkler system at our house and did a fantastic job! Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and very considerate of our existing drain tile — they hand dug where lines crossed our drains. Everyone was wonderful. Highly recommend!
Thanks, Doug for your good service over 25 years!
