About Crete
What Crete looks like from the truck
Crete lies inside Saline County in Nebraska. Crete is home to about 7,093 people in roughly 2,285 households. Of the occupied homes, 66 percent are owner occupied; 1,737 are detached single family.
Work here is served from the Lincoln office, about 25 minutes away at 15 miles. Saline County carries 4,872 detached single family homes in total, 74 percent owner occupied. That is about 40 percent of every housing unit in Saline County. The county around it counts about 14,642 residents across 5,774 housing units. Half the housing predates 1972, and the 1970s were the busiest building years at 521 homes. A median home value of $162,500 and a median household income of $62,468 is what the American Community Survey records. The split is 1,511 owner occupied to 774 rented. Roughly 73 percent of the housing here, 1,661 homes, went up before 1980, when footing drains and grade separations were not what they are now.

What we fix
Foundation problems we see in Crete
Cracked Block Foundation
The USDA survey under Crete 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 likeUneven Concrete Slabs
60 to 80 freeze thaw cycles a year, against a frost line of 36 to 42 inches, work on the 1,737 detached houses in Crete every winter.
What this looks likeWet Basement Walls
Of the housing here, 1,661 homes predate 1980, with the biggest block of it going up in the 1970s. Original drainage is usually the story on those.

Why foundations move in Crete
The soil this town is built on
Soil mapping within Crete returns Crete at about 60 percent of the survey, with Morrill and Muir alongside it. By texture that survey runs 78 percent clay and 21 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 7.78 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate high for shrink swell.
Frost, water and the calendar
Frost reaches 36 to 42 inches in this part of the state, and the ground goes through 60 to 80 freeze thaw cycles in a normal year. With 35 to 40 inches a year of rain and snow, the ground beside a footing is wet in spring and dry by August.
What these homes were built like
The 1970s put up more homes than any other decade, 521 of them, and the median year built is 1972. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 1,661 homes here, and that is the group where original drainage is usually the story. 18 percent of the housing here, 418 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. 38 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.

What Lincoln customers say
Did a really good job. Mostly satisfied. Installer promised to bring in some dirt to shore up a spot and never came back, not a big deal and not taking a star for it but was abit odd.
Hunter and his crew did an amazing job placing wall anchors at my house. I would recommend for anyone needing foundation work.
These guys were great!! Arrived and finished on the days that were promised. Always very polite and professional! Highly recommend! And, if needed, we will definitely use again!
