What we fix
Foundation problems we see in Milford
Cracked Block Foundation

What this looks likeUneven Concrete Slabs
Frost reaches 36 to 42 inches here and the ground cycles through freeze and thaw 60 to 80 times in a normal year, which is what lifts and drops a slab under the 711 detached houses in Milford.

718 homes in Milford were finished before 1980, back when a footing drain was optional and backfill was rarely compacted.

Why foundations move in Milford
The soil this town is built on
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 weather these foundations live with
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.
The housing stock
Most of what we walk into here was built in the 1970s, 223 homes, around a median build year of 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.

What Lincoln customers say
All of the crew were very friendly, professional and answered all of my questions no matter how small. Dakota the lead was awesome. I could not ask for a better crew and company to fix my garage foundation.
I cannot emphasize enough how awesome Dillon and his partner were. Not only was it a quick turnaround, he walked me through the process, why the carbon fiber straps were the best solution, but he also gave me tips for future use.
We had a great experience with the Epp team. From the initial meeting through the installation they were thorogh and professional.
