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. Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the weather station northeast of Atlantic, precipitation averages 37.1 inches a year and about 152 days a year have a low of 32 degrees or colder, so the soil beside a wall can be wet, dry or frozen at different times of the year. What is actually happening at your address is something we confirm on site, not something we read off a map.

The years before 1940 put up more homes than any other period, 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. Every inspection ends with a Customized Repair Estimate that describes what we found at that house.
