Foundation Repair in Waverly, NE: Helical Piers, October 2026

The foundation at this Waverly home showed signs of settling around the exterior entry area, with concrete steps displaying visible displacement and the surrounding foundation in need of structural support. Clay soils dominate Lancaster County and exhibit high shrink-swell characteristics, a pattern that commonly contributes to foundation movement in the region.

Epp Foundation Repair installed helical piers to stabilize the foundation and halt further settling. The crew also completed drainage work to manage water around the foundation perimeter, which helps prevent future soil expansion and contraction. The exterior entry was finished with decorative wooden posts and metal railings, restoring both function and appearance to the space. The job was thoroughly documented across 5 site visits with 92 on-site photographs by the 3-person crew.
