About Malcolm
Malcolm lies inside Lancaster County in Nebraska. Roughly 210 households sit here, home to about 466 people. Of the occupied homes, 53 percent are owner occupied; 129 are detached single family.
Work here is served from the Lincoln office, about 25 minutes away at 15 miles. Lancaster County carries 81,449 detached single family homes in total, 59 percent owner occupied. Lancaster County as a whole is about 323,673 people and 138,232 housing units. Half the housing predates 1992, and the 1970s were the busiest building years at 65 homes. A median home value of $211,600 and a median household income of $78,636 is what the American Community Survey records. 111 of those homes are lived in by their owners and 99 are rented. Roughly 50 percent of the housing here, 104 homes, went up before 1980, when footing drains and grade separations were not what they are now.

What we fix
A high shrink swell rating on clay across Lancaster County means the ground beside a footing is not the same size in April as it is in August.
What this looks likeFreezing nights can lift wet soil under the slabs beside the 129 detached houses in Malcolm.
What this looks likeThe pre 1980 stock in Malcolm runs to 104 homes, which is where we most often find drainage that was never engineered.
What this looks likeLocal conditions
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Lincoln Municipal Airport, about 7 miles away.
The survey inside the city limits reads as urban fill rather than a natural series, which is normal for ground this built up, so the honest figure is the county one: across Lancaster County the USDA survey is Wymore at about 20 percent of the survey, with Aksarben and Pawnee alongside it. By texture that survey runs 82 percent clay and 9 percent silt. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 6.73 percent, a high shrink swell rating.
The largest group of homes here by build period, 65 of them, went up in the 1970s; the median build year is 1992. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 104 homes here, and that is the group where original drainage is usually the story. 52 percent of the housing here, 109 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. Of the owner occupied homes, 75 percent carry a mortgage.
