Concrete Repair near you in Lincoln
Lincoln lies inside Lancaster County in Nebraska. Lincoln is home to about 290,531 people in roughly 118,332 households. 56 percent of occupied homes are owner occupied, and 69,754 of them are detached single family houses.
This is one of the towns with an Epp office in it, so the trucks leave from inside the city limits. Half the housing predates 1980, and the 1970s were the busiest building years at 18,536 homes. A median home value of $230,400 and a median household income of $67,846 is what the American Community Survey records. The split is 66,654 owner occupied to 51,678 rented. Roughly 53 percent of the housing here, 62,707 homes, went up before 1980, when footing drains and grade separations were not what they are now.

Foundation problems we see in Lincoln
Stair-Step Cracks
The USDA survey across Lancaster County reads clay and rates its shrink swell potential high. Soil that changes volume against a wall through the year is the driver behind most of what we are called out to look at.

What this looks likeWet Basement Walls
Of the housing here, 62,707 homes predate 1980, with the biggest block of it going up in the 1970s. Original drainage is usually the story on those.

Why foundations move in Lincoln
The soil this town is built on
A city level sample here returns urban fill, not a natural series. Widen it to Lancaster County and the USDA survey reads Wymore at about 20 percent of the survey, with Aksarben and Pawnee alongside it. The texture split 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.
The seasonal cycle here
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Lincoln Municipal Airport, about 5 miles away, a normal year brings 29.3 inches of precipitation, 26 inches of snowfall and about 143 days with a low of 32 degrees or colder.
The age of the housing
Most of what we walk into here was built in the 1970s, 18,536 homes, around a median build year of 1980. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 62,707 homes here, and that is the group where original drainage is usually the story. 29 percent of the housing here, 34,043 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. 64 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.

"Most exterior concrete cracks aren't a concrete problem. They're a soil problem the concrete is announcing. After decades in this work I can usually tell in a few minutes whether you need a simple sealant or a full lift. The honest answer comes from looking at the slab and the water that gets to it, not from a phone call"

What Lincoln customers say
My home had some problems with water in our basement and Epp foundation repair was able to come and fix it. Sam and his team was very professional and got the work done fast. He was very kind and managed the work well. Now our basement is dry and we have no problems. If you are in the Lincoln area and have home repair needs I recommend Epp foundation repair.
I wanted to take a moment to let you folks at Epp know how please I was with the install. The guys where very polite and helpful. On Monday at 8:00 A.M. Sam greeted me at the door to let my know the work was about to start and when I asked the guys about any concern I had they had the answer. When Sam asked my input on the window wells on the west side of the house I was impressed, Sam even took the time to show me how the placement would look so I could make the final call. Before I knew it the week and the work was done, the boys did a great job of cleaning up and was nice enough to leave me a little pile of dirt for some fill in around the yard and some for the garden. Epp you can be proud of your Lincoln team from the friendly sale man, to the lovely ladies in the office quick to answer my call, and your hard working men on the job. Thanks for a great job done.
This fall, due to recurring droughts and shrinkage, the front of my house decided that it might like to wander out into the street. Epp shored it up quickly, and the job foreman, Corey, was quick to explain everything they were doing in a way that I could easily follow. If your house looks like it wants to set out on its own, I'd recommend giving Epp a call.
