This is one of the towns with an Epp office in it, so the trucks leave from inside the city limits. 37,840 homes went up before 1940, more than in any other period, 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.

View projectWhat we fix
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.

Omaha conditions
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Omaha Eppley Airfield, about 9 miles away.
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.
The largest group of homes here by build period, 37,840 of them, went up before 1940; the median build year is 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.

"Polyurethane or epoxy is the wrong question. The right question is what does this specific crack need, and the honest answer on most basement cracks I see is both. Polyurethane stops the leak this week. Epoxy bonds the structure next month. We've used this sequence since the late nineties because it's the only one that actually closes both problems."
