Work here is served from the Omaha office, about 70 minutes away at 58 miles. Countywide, Cass County holds 5,130 detached single family homes and runs 72 percent owner occupied. Those households are roughly 49 percent of the Cass County total. Cass County holds about 13,115 people and 6,397 housing units in total. Half the housing predates 1959, and the years before 1940 were the busiest building years at 1,050 homes. A median home value of $124,600 and a median household income of $54,692 is what the American Community Survey records. 1,969 of those homes are lived in by their owners and 1,169 are rented. Roughly 87 percent of the housing here, 2,724 homes, went up before 1980, when footing drains and grade separations were not what they are now.

What we fix
Foundation problems we see in Atlantic
Sticking Doors and Windows
A moderate shrink swell rating on clay under Atlantic means the ground beside a footing is not the same size in April as it is in August.
What this looks likeUneven Concrete Slabs
Frost reaches 36 to 42 inches here and the ground cycles through freeze and thaw 60 to 80 times in a normal year, which is what lifts and drops a slab under the 2,379 detached houses in Atlantic.
What this looks likeImproper Drainage
The pre 1980 stock in Atlantic runs to 2,724 homes, which is where we most often find drainage that was never engineered.

Why foundations move in Atlantic
The soil this town is built on
Soil mapping within Atlantic returns Marshall at about 40 percent of the survey, with Judson alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 79 percent clay and 18 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 5.33 percent here, which USDA reads as moderate shrink swell potential. Against 79 percent clay across Cass County, the city sample reads 60 percent.
The seasonal cycle here
Ground here freezes to 36 to 42 inches and cycles through freeze and thaw 60 to 80 times a year. With 35 to 40 inches a year of rain and snow, the ground beside a footing is wet in spring and dry by August.
The housing stock
The years before 1940 put up more homes than any other decade, 1,050 of them, and the median year built is 1959. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 2,724 homes here, and that is the group where original drainage is usually the story. 16 percent of the housing here, 489 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. 57 percent of owner occupied homes here carry a mortgage, which is usually why a lender or an appraiser is the first to ask about a crack.

What Omaha customers say
We had a water issue that we couldn't seem to get fixed. Epp Foundation repair was the third and final vendor we used. We are so grateful to them for solving our problem.
Epp stepped into our situation and provided a level of confidence that is unsurpassed. They are true professionals and there is no question that our business is going to continue to rely on their expertise for all foundation recommendations.
They were great to work with starting with the estimate, continuing with scheduling, and then finally with installation. I would absolutely work with them again! The installer answered any question I had as they worked and I was very satisfied with the end result.
