Sampled inside the Holdrege city limits, the USDA survey reads Holdrege across about 100 percent of the survey. By texture that survey runs 15 percent clay, 68 percent silt and 10 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 4.28 percent here, which USDA reads as moderate shrink swell potential.
The years before 1940 put up more homes than any other period, 592 of them, and the median year built is 1962. The 1,937 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. Mortgages sit on 49 percent of the owner occupied homes in Holdrege.

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.
From the first day at my house Tyree had been nothing but helpful and informative on every step of the way. I would recommend Epp for any and all foundation needs!!
The crew that worked on my house did a very thorough job and I am very satisfied with the results. Highly recommend if needing repairs
