Why foundations move in Kearney
The soil, and what it does
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.
The weather these foundations live with
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the weather station northeast of Kearney, about 4 miles away, a normal year brings 25.6 inches of precipitation, 21.8 inches of snowfall and about 157 days with a low of 32 degrees or colder.
What these homes were built like
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.

"Inside a basement, epoxy works because nothing moves. Outside on a driveway, the slab moves with every freeze-thaw cycle and moves again with every summer-to-winter temperature swing. Rigid bond in a moving environment fails on a predictable timeline. Flexible sealant in the same environment lasts for years. The chemistry is dictated by the exposure."

What Grand Island customers say
I had some settlement on my house. Tyree and his crew were very informative. They did a great job and I am very satisfied with the work!
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!!
Conner was on time for my appointment, & he explained to me what they would do to get my spare bedroom warmer. The floor was 10 degrees colder than my kitchen floor! Hunter & 2 others were here promptly at 8:00 a.m. & were finished by 10:00 a.m. They laid down plastic to protect my carpet. Hunter showed me pictures of the floor joists & showed me where they sprayed the insulation after they had cleaned up. They did an excellent job, & I would definitely recommend Epp Concrete.
