What this looks likeLocal conditions
Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the weather station east northeast of Lincoln, about 5 miles away.
Sampled inside the Waverly city limits, the USDA survey reads Zook at about 40 percent of the survey, with Butler and Aksarben alongside it. The texture split is 82 percent clay and 9 percent silt. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 6.73 percent, a high shrink swell rating.
The typical house dates to 1983, and the single biggest block of the stock, 342 homes, went up in the 1960s. The 732 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. Of the owner occupied homes, 67 percent carry a mortgage.

We had Epp come out and work on our house. They installed push piers and we were very pleased with the outcome. Jacob was knowledgeable and had the answers to all my questions.
Amazing to work with! I was very happy with the way everything was handled from start to finish, they really do everything to make sure you are well taken care of. Also we had a massive rainfall 24 hours after install and not a drop of water in our basement. Very happy!
I would like to thank the wonderful customer service ladies at the office for welcoming me and helping me set up the appointment, and thanks to Brett Hopwood for the inspection, he was very honest and very friendly, God bless you and your family, I highly recommend Epp Foundation Repair, they are great, we support local businesses.
