Sampled inside the Blair city limits, the USDA survey reads Monona at about 40 percent of the survey, with Moville and Luton alongside it. By texture that survey runs 54 percent clay and 43 percent silt. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 4.65 percent, a moderate shrink swell rating. Against 54 percent clay across Washington County, the city sample reads 40 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.

Most of what we walk into here was built before 1940, 897 homes, around a median build year of 1972. The 2,027 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. 18 percent of the housing here, 561 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. Of the owner occupied homes, 67 percent carry a mortgage. Every inspection ends with a Customized Repair Estimate that describes what we found at that house.
