Crawl Space Repair in Grand Island
Hall County holds Grand Island, in Nebraska. About 52,822 people live here, across roughly 20,263 households. Owners occupy 59 percent of the housing here, and 13,305 homes are detached single family.
Our office is in the town itself, so the crew starts the day here. Countywide, Hall County holds 16,946 detached single family homes and runs 63 percent owner occupied. This town accounts for about 80 percent of the county's housing. Hall County holds about 62,431 people and 25,377 housing units in total. The median home was finished in 1974, with more of the stock built in the 1970s than in any other decade, 3,902 homes. Survey figures show a median home value of $183,700 and a median household income of $59,061. The split is 11,878 owner occupied to 8,385 rented. About 13,042 homes, 64 percent of the stock, predate 1980 and the drainage standards that came with it.

What we fix
Ground across Hall County is mapped sand, with a moderate shrink swell rating. That is soil that pushes when it is wet and pulls away when it dries.
What this looks likeWater that gets under a slab beside the 13,305 detached houses in Grand Island has 60 to 80 chances a year to freeze, and frost here reaches 36 to 42 inches.
What this looks like13,042 homes in Grand Island were finished before 1980, back when a footing drain was optional and backfill was rarely compacted.
What this looks likeGrand Island conditions
Mapped soil inside Grand Island is recorded as disturbed urban ground, so the useful reading is the wider one. Across Hall County the USDA survey is Detroit at about 8 percent of the survey, with Hall and Valentine alongside it. By texture that survey runs 13 percent clay, 34 percent silt and 37 percent sand. Linear extensibility, the measure of how much a soil swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, is weighted at 3.77 percent here, which USDA reads as moderate shrink swell potential.
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. Rainfall of 35 to 40 inches a year is enough to load a wall in a wet spring and pull away from it in a dry summer.
The typical house dates to 1974, and the single biggest block of the stock, 3,902 homes, went up in the 1970s. 13,042 of those homes predate 1980, which is where we most often find footing drains that were never installed and backfill that was never compacted. 18 percent of the housing here, 3,570 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. 54 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.

"A crack in a stem wall is just the wall telling you what is happening underneath it. My job is to read it. Sometimes it is shrinkage and you seal it. Sometimes the footing is dropping and you have to support that first, because sealing a wall that is still moving just moves the crack somewhere else."

Thank you so much for coming down here so quickly after my first call. My son in law recommended you and he definitely was right. You have a very great team that you work with from the phone calls to the people that have been here to do the work. They are very efficient but also very kind. They took the time to visit with me and answer my questions so I could make the decisions that were best for me. The guys from grand island were very good. They finished the job very quickly and did a great job of trying to get everything back to normal. I really appreciated that they worked on keeping my yard intact. Thank you so much for your help. I will definitely recommend you to other people.
Very professional job. Team was always responsive during the process and communicated very well throughout the entire project. Project was completed timely and efficiently and would definitely use Epp again.
Conner was on time for my appointment, & he explained to me what they would do to get my spare bedroom warmer. The floor was 10 degrees colder than my kitchen floor! Hunter & 2 others were here promptly at 8:00 a.m. & were finished by 10:00 a.m. They laid down plastic to protect my carpet. Hunter showed me pictures of the floor joists & showed me where they sprayed the insulation after they had cleaned up. They did an excellent job, & I would definitely recommend Epp Concrete.
