Agricultural Soil Stabilization for Bins, Pads, and Farm Buildings
Mid soil polyurethane injection and helical piers that stabilize the soil under grain bins, equipment pads, and farm building slabs, planned around planting and harvest.

Soil Stabilization (Ag): how it works and when it's the right call.
Agricultural soil stabilization strengthens the soil under slabs, pads, and foundations on farm and ag sites so they stop settling. Ag sites put heavy loads on the ground that change through the year: a full grain bin, a loaded truck on an equipment pad, a skid steer in a livestock barn. When the soil under that load is soft, wet, or poorly compacted, the concrete above it can settle and crack. Epp uses two main methods, chosen after the site is inspected. For soil near the surface, Epp injects polyurethane through small holes in the slab. The foam fills voids and firms up the soil so the slab is supported again. This is mid soil injection, and Epp's equipment reaches up to 4 feet. When the load needs support from deeper, firmer soil, helical piers carry it down past the weak layer instead. The goal is stabilization. Some lift may be possible depending on conditions, but lift is never promised.
How we install soil stabilization (ag).
Step 01.Site Walk and Crop Calendar
A project manager walks the site with you, looks at each settled slab or foundation, and notes your planting and harvest calendar so the work can be planned around it.
Step 02.Find the Cause
The crew measures where the concrete has moved and looks for the water or soil condition behind it, such as roof runoff toward a bin or a low spot that stays wet. The same checks apply to signs of grain bin foundation failure.
Step 03.Written Scope and Schedule
You receive a Customized Repair Estimate with the method for each area and a schedule that fits your operation.
Step 04.Injection or Pier Installation
For soil near the surface, polyurethane is injected through small holes and the holes are patched. Where deeper support is needed, helical piers on ag sites are installed instead. Work is done in the off season where possible.
"I've watched the same house in Lincoln settle three times in fifteen years because the contractor before us kept lifting the slab without ever fixing the leaking sewer line underneath. The soil was the patient. Nobody had treated the soil."

Each problem sign below is a symptom this solution is engineered to fix. See how we diagnose it before we recommend this method.
Grain Bin Foundation Failure
A grain bin foundation carries a load that changes every time the bin is filled and emptied. Epp Foundation Repair inspects settled bin foundations on farms and ag sites across Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri and explains what is moving before it recommends a repair.
Learn moreCommercial Slab Settlement
Warehouse, shop, and retail floors settle when the soil under them gives way. Epp Foundation Repair finds where the slab has moved and why, then plans the repair around the building's operations.
Learn moreSolar Array Ground Issues
Ground mounted solar arrays depend on the soil around every post. Epp Foundation Repair installs helical pier foundations for new solar arrays, sized from the geotechnical report and installed to the engineer of record's specification.
Learn moreMulti-Unit Foundation Movement
In an apartment complex, condo building, or row of townhomes, foundation movement often shows up as maintenance calls from several units. Epp Foundation Repair inspects the whole building to find whether those calls share one cause.

Failing Retaining Walls
Retaining walls beside parking lots, loading docks, and drives carry the soil behind them and the traffic above them. Epp Foundation Repair finds why a wall is moving and works from the engineer of record's drawings on commercial projects.
