Soil mapping within Gretna returns Contrary at about 40 percent of the survey, with Marshall and Judson alongside it. The texture split is 56 percent clay, 22 percent silt and 6 percent sand. Weighted linear extensibility runs 4.16 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate moderate for shrink swell. The sample inside the city runs 80 percent clay against 56 percent across Sarpy County, so the ground here is heavier than the county average. Frost in this part of the state reaches 36 to 42 inches, and the ground cycles through freeze and thaw 60 to 80 times a year, so the same soil is loading and unloading a wall all year. What is actually happening at your address is something we confirm on site, not something we read off a map.

The 2000s put up more homes than any other decade, 1,284 of them, and the median year built is 2003. The 716 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. 15 percent of the housing here, 490 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. Of the owner occupied homes, 78 percent carry a mortgage. Every inspection ends with a Customized Repair Estimate that describes what we found at that house.
