Why foundations move in Adams
Ground conditions
The mapped soil in Adams is Wymore at about 40 percent of the survey, with Cortland and Kennebec alongside it. The texture split is 85 percent clay and 13 percent silt. Linear extensibility, the measure of how much a soil swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, is weighted at 7.22 percent here, which USDA reads as high shrink swell potential. The sample inside the city runs 80 percent clay against 85 percent across Gage County, so the ground here is lighter than the county average.
The seasonal cycle here
A frost line of 36 to 42 inches and 60 to 80 freeze thaw cycles a year are the backdrop to every foundation in this area. Precipitation runs 35 to 40 inches a year, so the same soil swells and shrinks against a wall through the year.
The age of the housing
The typical house dates to 1951, and the single biggest block of the stock, 117 homes, went up before 1940. The 193 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. Of the owner occupied homes, 71 percent carry a mortgage.
