About Omaha
What Omaha looks like from the truck
Omaha is a Douglas County town in Nebraska. About 489,201 people live here, across roughly 197,842 households. Detached single family houses number 133,882, and 58 percent of occupied homes are owner occupied.
This is one of the towns with an Epp office in it, so the trucks leave from inside the city limits. Across Douglas County as a whole there are 164,395 detached single family homes, and 62 percent of occupied housing is owner occupied. Those households are roughly 80 percent of the Douglas County total. Douglas County holds about 585,461 people and 248,692 housing units in total. 37,840 homes went up before 1940, more than in any other decade, and the median build year is 1972. The Census puts Omaha at a median home value of $210,300 and a median household income of $70,202. The split is 114,534 owner occupied to 83,308 rented. Homes built before 1980 make up 67 percent of the stock, 131,573 in all.

What we fix
Foundation problems we see in Omaha
Drywall Cracks Diagnosed at the Foundation, Not the Patch
A moderate shrink swell rating on clay across Douglas 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
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 133,882 detached houses in Omaha.
What this looks likeImproper Drainage
131,573 homes in Omaha were finished before 1980, back when a footing drain was optional and backfill was rarely compacted.

Why foundations move in Omaha
Ground conditions
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 Douglas County the USDA survey is Contrary at about 10 percent of the survey, with Marshall and Gibbon alongside it. The texture split is 32 percent clay, 24 percent silt and 9 percent sand. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 3.85 percent, a moderate shrink swell rating.
Frost, water and the calendar
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. Precipitation runs 35 to 40 inches a year, so the same soil swells and shrinks against a wall through the year.
What these homes were built like
Most of what we walk into here was built before 1940, 37,840 homes, around a median build year of 1972. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 131,573 homes here, and that is the group where original drainage is usually the story. 30 percent of the housing here, 59,314 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. Mortgages sit on 66 percent of the owner occupied homes in Omaha.

Honestly 10/10. Demea was very professional and nothing but helpful. The joint sealant was even more helpful and overall amazing. Epp is definitely something that I would recommend to family and friends.
