Foundation Repair in Hickman, NE: Push Piers, March 2026

The foundation at this Hickman property showed horizontal cracks and deteriorated mortar joints in the brick foundation wall, conditions common in Lancaster County where clay soils with high shrink-swell ratings create cyclic pressure on foundation structures. The exterior showed signs of settlement and joint failure that required immediate attention to prevent further water intrusion and structural decline.

Epp Foundation Repair installed push piers to stabilize the foundation and sealed the horizontal cracks and deteriorated mortar joints with joint sealant, restoring the integrity of the brick facade. The before and after photos document the cleaned debris and fresh sealant applied to the joints, with the foundation now protected against further moisture penetration. The crew completed the work across 3 site visits with 57 on-site photos documenting each phase of the repair.
