About Beatrice
Beatrice lies inside Gage County in Nebraska. Roughly 5,482 households sit here, home to about 12,237 people. Of the occupied homes, 62 percent are owner occupied; 4,663 are detached single family.
Work here is served from the Lincoln office, about 40 minutes away at 32 miles. Across Gage County as a whole there are 8,700 detached single family homes, and 72 percent of occupied housing is owner occupied. Those households are roughly 53 percent of the Gage County total. The county around it counts about 21,646 residents across 10,390 housing units. Half the housing predates 1964, and the years before 1940 were the busiest building years at 1,672 homes. A median home value of $141,900 and a median household income of $49,537 is what the American Community Survey records. The split is 3,420 owner occupied to 2,062 rented. Roughly 84 percent of the housing here, 4,580 homes, went up before 1980, when footing drains and grade separations were not what they are now.

What we fix
Ground under Beatrice is mapped clay, with a high shrink swell rating. That is soil that pushes when it is wet and pulls away when it dries.
What this looks likeFreezing nights can lift wet soil under the slabs beside the 4,663 detached houses in Beatrice.
What this looks likeThe pre 1980 stock in Beatrice runs to 4,580 homes, which is where we most often find drainage that was never engineered.
What this looks likeLocal conditions
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the weather station north of Beatrice, about 2 miles away.
Soil mapping within Beatrice returns Wymore at about 60 percent of the survey, with Otoe and Cortland alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 85 percent clay and 13 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 7.22 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate high for shrink swell. Clay content is 100 percent inside the city and 85 percent countywide.
The typical house dates to 1964, and the single biggest block of the stock, 1,672 homes, went up before 1940. 4,580 of those homes predate 1980, which is where we most often find footing drains that were never installed and backfill that was never compacted. Mortgages sit on 47 percent of the owner occupied homes in Beatrice.

Google reviews
Communication for both jobs they did for us was exceptional. From the beginning to the end. One example of that was Ryan. He and his crew was with us for 6 days. He always talked with us about the work they were doing, answered our questions, let us know when they were here and when they were leaving. Ryan was very knowledgeable about the whole process. Ryan is just one example. Everyone we worked with did the same thing. We are very thankful and grateful for Epp. We were in “good hands”.
I cannot emphasize enough how awesome Dillon and his partner were. Not only was it a quick turnaround, he walked me through the process, why the carbon fiber straps were the best solution, but he also gave me tips for future use.
Repaired sidewalk and buried downspout/rerouted it away from foundation all in one day. Clean professional results. Didn't leave a mess. All questions answered clearly.

The same office schedules the inspection, runs the install, and answers a warranty call later.
