About Norfolk
A closer look at Norfolk
Norfolk sits in Madison County, Nebraska. Census figures put the town at about 25,883 residents and 10,660 households. Owners occupy 62 percent of the housing here, and 7,172 homes are detached single family.
This is one of the towns with an Epp office in it, so the trucks leave from inside the city limits. Madison County carries 10,473 detached single family homes in total, 68 percent owner occupied. That is about 69 percent of every housing unit in Madison County. Madison County holds about 35,535 people and 15,371 housing units in total. Building peaked in the 1970s at 2,214 homes, which is why the median year built sits at 1975. The survey reports a median home value of $192,300 and a median household income of $57,479. Owners hold 6,641 of the occupied homes, renters the other 4,019. 6,879 of those homes were finished before 1980, 65 percent of everything standing.

What we fix
Foundation problems we see in Norfolk
Drywall Cracks Diagnosed at the Foundation, Not the Patch
A moderate shrink swell rating on clay under Norfolk means the ground beside a footing is not the same size in April as it is in August.
What this looks likeCracking Expansion Joints
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 7,172 detached houses in Norfolk.
What this looks likeImproper Drainage
The pre 1980 stock in Norfolk runs to 6,879 homes, which is where we most often find drainage that was never engineered.

Why foundations move in Norfolk
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside Norfolk comes back Muir at about 40 percent of the survey, with Nora and Blendon alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 51 percent clay, 19 percent silt and 24 percent sand. Linear extensibility, the measure of how much a soil swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, is weighted at 3.44 percent here, which USDA reads as moderate shrink swell potential. Clay content is 80 percent inside the city and 51 percent countywide.
The seasonal cycle here
A frost line of 36 to 42 inches and 60 to 80 freeze thaw cycles a year are the backdrop to every foundation in this area. The ground takes on 35 to 40 inches a year of water and gives it back, which is the cycle a wall has to survive.
The housing stock
The typical house dates to 1975, and the single biggest block of the stock, 2,214 homes, went up in the 1970s. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 6,879 homes here, and that is the group where original drainage is usually the story. 24 percent of the housing here, 2,605 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, 55 percent carry a mortgage.
