The USDA survey across Sarpy County reads clay and rates its shrink swell potential moderate. Soil that changes volume against a wall through the year is the driver behind most of what we are called out to look at.

Papillion conditions
Why Papillion basements take on water
- Precipitation a year

- With a low of 32°F or colder
- 136 days
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the weather station northeast of Gretna, about 6 miles away.
What is under the ground here
Mapped soil inside Papillion is recorded as disturbed urban ground, so the useful reading is the wider one. Across Sarpy County the USDA survey is Contrary at about 24 percent of the survey, with Marshall and Judson alongside it. By texture that survey runs 56 percent clay, 22 percent silt and 6 percent sand. Weighted linear extensibility runs 4.16 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate moderate for shrink swell.
The housing stock
The 1990s put up more homes than any other period, 2,458 of them, and the median year built is 1989. The 2,728 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. 21 percent of the housing here, 1,925 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 67 percent of the owner occupied homes in Papillion.

"I've walked into basements where someone quoted ten thousand dollars in waterproofing and the actual problem was a humid August and a wall that gets to fifty-eight degrees in the afternoon. That's a dehumidifier, not a sump pump. Run the moisture meter first, then talk price."
