Sampled inside the Raymond city limits, the USDA survey reads Aksarben at about 40 percent of the survey, with Kennebec and Filley alongside it. The texture split is 82 percent clay and 9 percent silt. Linear extensibility, the measure of how much a soil swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, is weighted at 6.73 percent here, which USDA reads as high shrink swell potential. The sample inside the city runs 40 percent clay against 82 percent across Lancaster County, so the ground here is lighter than the county average. Frost in this part of the state reaches 36 to 42 inches, and the ground cycles through freeze and thaw 60 to 80 times a year, so the same soil is loading and unloading a wall all year. What is actually happening at your address is something we confirm on site, not something we read off a map.

The typical house dates to 1974, and the single biggest block of the stock, 31 homes, went up before 1940. The 49 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. Of the owner occupied homes, 48 percent carry a mortgage. Every inspection ends with a Customized Repair Estimate that describes what we found at that house.
