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. Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the weather station east southeast of Crete, precipitation averages 31 inches a year and about 133 days a year have a low of 32 degrees or colder, so the soil beside a wall can be wet, dry or frozen at different times of the year. What is actually happening at your address is something we confirm on site, not something we read off a map.

The 1970s put up more homes than any other period, 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. Every inspection ends with a Customized Repair Estimate that describes what we found at that house.
