Sampled inside the Bennet city limits, the USDA survey reads Wymore at about 60 percent of the survey, with Nodaway alongside it. The texture split is 82 percent clay and 9 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 6.73 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate high for shrink swell. Against 82 percent clay across Lancaster County, the city sample reads 60 percent. Frost in this part of the state reaches 36 to 42 inches, and the ground cycles through freeze and thaw 60 to 80 times a year, so the same soil is loading and unloading a wall all year. What is actually happening at your address is something we confirm on site, not something we read off a map.

The typical house dates to 1984, and the single biggest block of the stock, 115 homes, went up in the 2000s. 212 of those homes predate 1980, which is where we most often find footing drains that were never installed and backfill that was never compacted. 81 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.
