The mapped soil in Seward is Hastings at about 60 percent of the survey, with Muir alongside it. By texture that survey runs 63 percent clay and 33 percent silt. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 6.2 percent, a high shrink swell rating. 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.

Most of what we walk into here was built before 1940, 520 homes, around a median build year of 1975. The 1,677 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. 16 percent of the housing here, 422 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 61 percent of the owner occupied homes in Seward. Every inspection ends with a Customized Repair Estimate that describes what we found at that house.
