Why foundations move in Aurora
What is under the ground here
Sampled inside the Aurora city limits, the USDA survey reads Hastings across about 100 percent of the survey. The texture split is 77 percent clay, 16 percent silt and 5 percent sand. Weighted linear extensibility runs 6.76 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate high for shrink swell. Against 77 percent clay across Hamilton County, the city sample reads 100 percent.
The weather these foundations live with
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. Rainfall of 35 to 40 inches a year is enough to load a wall in a wet spring and pull away from it in a dry summer.
What these homes were built like
The typical house dates to 1973, and the single biggest block of the stock, 465 homes, went up in the 1970s. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 1,307 homes here, and that is the group where original drainage is usually the story. Mortgages sit on 68 percent of the owner occupied homes in Aurora.

What Grand Island customers say
Had Tyree a Jacob out to do push piers, there was a crack I was wanting them to close and they got full recover! Highly recommend! Very professional!
I had some settlement on my house. Tyree and his crew were very informative. They did a great job and I am very satisfied with the work!
From the first day at my house Tyree had been nothing but helpful and informative on every step of the way. I would recommend Epp for any and all foundation needs!!
