Topeka sits in Shawnee County, Kansas. Census figures put the town at about 126,431 residents and 54,278 households. Owners occupy 59 percent of the housing here, and 39,316 homes are detached single family.
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. The survey reports a median home value of $124,700 and a median household income of $54,052. 32,039 of those homes are lived in by their owners and 22,239 are rented. 41,932 of those homes were finished before 1980, 77 percent of everything standing.

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.

"A driveway is rarely one problem. It's usually three problems that all started for different reasons and all show up the same year because that's when the homeowner finally looked. I walk the whole driveway before I quote anything, and the quote is usually a mix. Lift this section, seal these cracks, and your apron at the street is on the city. The homeowner who calls for one quote often doesn't realize how the pieces fit together."
