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
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Omaha Eppley Airfield, about 9 miles away, precipitation averages 31.9 inches a year and snowfall averages 27.1 inches, and about 135 days a year have a low of 32 degrees or colder.
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.

"An anchor pulls the wall back against the soil it's tied into. If that soil is contaminated, if the wall is failing on its own, or if you don't fix the drainage, no anchor will save the wall. We measure all three before we quote the job."

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.
I had a great experience! I had the very kind a professional Demea and the joint sealant was very very good! I’ll definitely be referring EPP to my friends and family in the future!
Demea was very knowledgeable & made process easy 2 understand. Sealant job was top notch. Can count on positive reference.
