Lancaster County holds about 323,673 people and 138,232 housing units in total. The median home was finished in 1984, with more of the stock built in the 2000s than in any other period, 115 homes. Survey figures show a median home value of $232,800 and a median household income of $93,125. Owners hold 397 of the occupied homes, renters the other 36. About 212 homes, 49 percent of the stock, predate 1980 and the drainage standards that came with it.

What we fix
The USDA survey under Bennet reads clay and rates its shrink swell potential high. Soil that changes volume against a wall through the year is the driver behind most of what we are called out to look at.
What this looks likeWet soil under the slabs beside the 424 detached houses in Bennet can freeze in winter and push them up.
What this looks likeThe pre 1980 stock in Bennet runs to 212 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 east northeast of Lincoln, about 12 miles away.
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.
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.

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”.
Had a great experience with Epp raising and shoring up my driveway and front walkway. Very professional crews that did outstanding work. I worked with two project leads that oversaw the teams, Jerrod and Dylan. I will hire them again for any concrete needs I have.
The guys were fast, friendly and professional. They left the rooms cleaner than how they found them. Would highly recommend their services!
