Crawl Space Repair in Lincoln
Crawl Space 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.

Crawl space repair in Lincoln
What does crawl space repair fix in Lincoln?
Epp's Lincoln crew handles the structural side of a crawl space: floors that sag between posts, beams that have dropped, and stem walls that have cracked. The usual work is crawl space structural repair plus new support jacks where old posts have settled. If the structure is sound and the trouble is humidity, crawl space encapsulation in Lincoln is the better fit, because it seals the space rather than repairing it.

Lincoln housing
How old is the framing under Lincoln homes?
Based on U.S. Census Bureau survey data, 50 percent of the 124,294 homes in Lincoln were built before 1980, and the median one dates to 1980. The 1970s added the most homes, 18,536 of them.
Under a house from 1980, the original posts and beams have carried the floor for about 46 years. The inspection looks for a settled post, a beam that no longer sits on it, and wet wood.
Based on USDA soil survey data, Lancaster County soil is about 82 percent clay and rated high for shrink swell. A post on a small footing can settle into damp clay, and the beam above it can sag with it.
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Lincoln Municipal Airport, about 5 miles away, the average July dew point is 65 degrees and precipitation averages 29.3 inches a year. Damp summer air in a vented crawl space can leave water on any post, beam or joist cooler than 65 degrees.

"An access well only fixes the doorway. If the whole crawl space is wet, the well is the last thing we install, not the first. We solve where the water actually comes from."

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.
