The USDA soil survey inside York comes back Hastings at about 80 percent of the survey, with Hord alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 79 percent clay and 20 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 6.94 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate high for shrink swell. Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for the York weather station, precipitation averages 28.7 inches a year and about 141 days a year have a low of 32 degrees or colder, so the soil beside a wall can be wet, dry or frozen at different times of the 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 1969, and the single biggest block of the stock, 1,025 homes, went up before 1940. The 2,718 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where drainage was rarely engineered and backfill was rarely compacted. 20 percent of the housing here, 662 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, 58 percent carry a mortgage. Every inspection ends with a Customized Repair Estimate that describes what we found at that house.
