Work here is served from the Lincoln office, about 30 minutes away at 18 miles. Across Seward County as a whole there are 5,769 detached single family homes, and 72 percent of occupied housing is owner occupied. This town accounts for about 13 percent of the county's housing. The county around it counts about 17,636 residents across 7,138 housing units. Half the housing predates 1969, and the 1970s were the busiest building years at 223 homes. A median home value of $207,100 and a median household income of $77,422 is what the American Community Survey records. The split is 584 owner occupied to 326 rented. Roughly 79 percent of the housing here, 718 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 under Milford means the ground beside a footing is not the same size in April as it is in August.
What this looks likeWater that gets under a slab beside the 711 detached houses in Milford can freeze on a cold night and lift it.
What this looks like718 homes in Milford were finished before 1980, back when a footing drain was optional and backfill was rarely compacted.
What this looks likeLocal conditions
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the Seward weather station, about 9 miles away.
Soil mapping within Milford returns Hastings at about 80 percent of the survey, with Muir alongside it. The texture split is 63 percent clay and 33 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 6.2 percent here, which USDA reads as high shrink swell potential.
The largest group of homes here by build period, 223 of them, went up in the 1970s; the median build year is 1969. 718 of those homes predate 1980, which is where we most often find footing drains that were never installed and backfill that was never compacted. Mortgages sit on 47 percent of the owner occupied homes in Milford.

Hunter was great to work with. Excellent communication, they were onsite when they said they would be, kept the job site clean! Would highly recommend!
Epp Foundation Repair did concrete lifting and fill, as well as caulking. Everything was completed and looks great. Jarrod and his team completed everything within a few hours and cleaned up after they were done. Kendra was quick with her estimate and took time to explain everything. Would use Epp again.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Jashaun and Jayden on a project at my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, and incredibly hardworking. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and it’s clear that the two of them take great pride in what they do.
