About Malcolm
The ground and the housing in 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
Foundation problems we see in Malcolm
Cracked Block Foundation
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 likeCracking Expansion Joints
Water that gets under a slab beside the 129 detached houses in Malcolm has 60 to 80 chances a year to freeze, and frost here reaches 36 to 42 inches.
What this looks likeBasement Flooding
The pre 1980 stock in Malcolm runs to 104 homes, which is where we most often find drainage that was never engineered.

Why foundations move in Malcolm
The soil this town is built on
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.
Frost, water and the calendar
Ground here freezes to 36 to 42 inches and cycles through freeze and thaw 60 to 80 times a year. With 35 to 40 inches a year of rain and snow, the ground beside a footing is wet in spring and dry by August.
What these homes were built like
Most of what we walk into here was built in the 1970s, 65 homes, around a median build year of 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.

What Lincoln customers say
Communication for both jobs they did for us was exceptional. From the beginning to the end. One example of that was Ryan. He and his crew was with us for 6 days. He always talked with us about the work they were doing, answered our questions, let us know when they were here and when they were leaving. Ryan was very knowledgeable about the whole process. Ryan is just one example. Everyone we worked with did the same thing. We are very thankful and grateful for Epp. We were in “good hands”.
Amazing work! Dakota and his team were friendly and kept me up to date on all the changes. Still can't believe they finished so fast.
Campfire I had an excellent experience with foundation repair! From start to finish, their team was professional knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. They came out to inspect my homes foundation after I noticed some cracks in the walls and uneven floors. Sam and his crew explained everything in detail and gave me a clear explanation and the solution they proposed fixed the problem for good. I would recommend Ep for anyone need foundation repair!
