Soil mapping within Hastings returns Hastings at about 80 percent of the survey, with Holder alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 57 percent clay, 31 percent silt and 7 percent sand. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 5.24 percent, a moderate shrink swell rating. Against 57 percent clay across Adams County, the city sample reads 100 percent. 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 years before 1940 put up more homes than any other decade, 2,405 of them, and the median year built is 1964. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 8,268 homes here, and that is the group where original drainage is usually the story. Of the owner occupied homes, 55 percent carry a mortgage. Every inspection ends with a Customized Repair Estimate that describes what we found at that house.

The city covers ZIP codes 68901, 68955. Addresses just outside those boundaries are covered too; a city limit is a mapping line, not a service boundary.
