Foundation Repair in Kearney, NE: Helical Piers, June 2026

The foundation at this Kearney home showed multiple signs of structural distress, including vertical cracks with spalling at the base and horizontal cracks accompanied by water infiltration in the foundation wall. The silt-based soils common to Buffalo County experience moderate shrink-swell cycles, which can stress foundations over time and contribute to the cracking and deterioration observed here.

Epp Foundation Repair stabilized the foundation using helical piers and addressed drainage concerns with exterior excavation and pipe installation work. The crew also completed concrete flatwork, including a decorative paver walkway and patio with herringbone brick patterns that integrated seamlessly with the home's landscaping. The entire project was documented across 8 site visits with 170 on-site photographs, ensuring thorough quality control and a complete record of the repair process.
