The USDA soil survey inside Kearney comes back Hord at about 60 percent of the survey, with Holdrege and Grigston alongside it. By texture that survey runs 10 percent clay, 50 percent silt and 13 percent sand. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 3.41 percent, a moderate shrink swell rating. 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 1970s put up more homes than any other decade, 2,716 of them, and the median year built is 1980. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 7,225 homes here, and that is the group where original drainage is usually the story. 19 percent of the housing here, 2,621 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. Mortgages sit on 57 percent of the owner occupied homes in Kearney. Every inspection ends with a Customized Repair Estimate that describes what we found at that house.

We work addresses in ZIP codes 68845, 68847. Addresses just outside those boundaries are covered too; a city limit is a mapping line, not a service boundary.
