Why foundations move in Grand Island
What is under the ground here
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.
The seasonal cycle here
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Grand Island Airport, about 4 miles away, the low reaches 32 degrees or colder on about 145 days in a normal year. Precipitation there averages 26.6 inches a year, and snowfall averages 27.7 inches.
The age of the housing
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.

"I will tell a homeowner that nothing needs to be done. After decades, the worst thing I can do for this industry is hand somebody an estimate for repair they don't need. If your crack monitor doesn't move over a full season, you don't have a foundation problem. You have a sealant project, and that costs a fraction of what a repair would."

What Grand Island customers say
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.
