The crew that covers Topeka works out of our St. Joseph office, 69 miles away, about 85 minutes on the road. Building peaked before 1940 at 10,440 homes, which is why the median year built sits at 1967.

Why foundations move in Topeka
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside Topeka comes back Pawnee at about 60 percent of the survey, with Martin and Ladysmith alongside it. The texture split is 78 percent clay and 10 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 6.93 percent here, which USDA reads as high shrink swell potential. Against 78 percent clay across Shawnee County, the city sample reads 100 percent. Karst features are mapped in this area, so voids and sinkhole risk are part of the inspection.
Frost, water and the calendar
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Topeka Municipal Airport, about 5 miles away, a normal year brings 36.5 inches of precipitation, 17.1 inches of snowfall and about 114 days with a low of 32 degrees or colder.
The housing stock
The typical house dates to 1967, and the single biggest block of the stock, 10,440 homes, went up before 1940. 41,932 of those homes predate 1980, which is where we most often find footing drains that were never installed and backfill that was never compacted. 20 percent of the housing here, 10,926 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so a fair share of local work is on shared structures rather than single family homes. Of the owner occupied homes, 56 percent carry a mortgage.

"Loess will hold up a slab for 30 years until the first time it gets really wet. Then it drops two inches in a week. We can lift the slab and pin the subgrade in the same afternoon, but if there's a downspout dumping water at the corner of the patio, I'd rather you fix the downspout first."
