Work here is served from the Grand Island office, about 35 minutes away at 22 miles. Countywide, Adams County holds 10,059 detached single family homes and runs 69 percent owner occupied. That is about 75 percent of every housing unit in Adams County. Adams County as a whole is about 31,034 people and 13,856 housing units. Half the housing predates 1964, and the years before 1940 were the busiest building years at 2,405 homes. A median home value of $156,400 and a median household income of $57,554 is what the American Community Survey records. Owners hold 6,581 of the occupied homes, renters the other 3,767. Roughly 80 percent of the housing here, 8,268 homes, went up before 1980, when footing drains and grade separations were not what they are now.

What we fix

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.
The years before 1940 put up more homes than any other period, 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.

Epp Foundation repair is one of those companies that will take care of you and make you feel at ease. They are such a great group and treat you with the up most respect. One of the guys even said I treat each house like it’s my grandmas house. They go above and beyond to help even when the projects can be tricky. It’s hard to find a company that cares as much as they do these days. They are professional AND nice!
I had Alex and Noah come today to put in a new window well. I was impressed with their professionalism, caring about the work they did which was outstanding. They would ask me if there was anything else they could help me with. The fellas were super to visit with and worked efficiently at completing their work. They were perfect in cleaning up the area. I would certainly recommend them to the folks in ARAPAHOE.
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.
