Soil mapping within Hickman returns Wymore at about 60 percent of the survey, with Mayberry alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 82 percent clay and 9 percent silt. Linear extensibility, the measure of how much a soil swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, is weighted at 6.73 percent here, which USDA reads as high shrink swell potential. Clay content is 100 percent inside the city and 82 percent countywide. Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the weather station southwest of Lincoln, precipitation averages 29.5 inches a year and about 134 days a year have a low of 32 degrees or colder, so the soil beside a wall can be wet, dry or frozen at different times of the year. What is actually happening at your address is something we confirm on site, not something we read off a map.

The largest group of homes here by build period, 247 of them, went up in the 2010s; the median build year is 2003. The 249 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. 81 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. Every inspection ends with a Customized Repair Estimate that describes what we found at that house.

All of them. Arbor Ridge, Baylor Heights, Carter, Prairie View, Scott's Creek and Terrace View are all inside the city limits, and every address inside those limits is worked by the same crew on the same terms.
