What we fix
Foundation problems we see in Firth
Cracked Block Foundation
The USDA survey under Firth 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 likeFoundation Upheaval
Water that gets under a slab beside the 177 detached houses in Firth has 60 to 80 chances a year to freeze, and frost here reaches 36 to 42 inches.
What this looks likeWet Basement Walls
Of the housing here, 126 homes predate 1980, with the biggest block of it going up before 1940. Original drainage is usually the story on those.

Why foundations move in Firth
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside Firth comes back Wymore at about 80 percent of the survey, with Kennebec alongside it. The texture split is 82 percent clay and 9 percent silt. Linear extensibility, the measure of how much a soil swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, is weighted at 6.73 percent here, which USDA reads as high shrink swell potential.
The weather these foundations live with
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. The ground takes on 35 to 40 inches a year of water and gives it back, which is the cycle a wall has to survive.
The housing stock
Most of what we walk into here was built before 1940, 59 homes, around a median build year of 1975. The 126 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. Of the owner occupied homes, 66 percent carry a mortgage.

What Lincoln customers say
All of the crew were very friendly, professional and answered all of my questions no matter how small. Dakota the lead was awesome. I could not ask for a better crew and company to fix my garage foundation.
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.
We had a great experience with the Epp team. From the initial meeting through the installation they were thorogh and professional.
