Epp Foundation Repair Marks 30+ Years Protecting Midwest Homes as Demand for Structural Safety Surges

At a time when shifting soil, extreme weather, and aging homes are creating a record rise in foundation and water-intrusion issues across the Midwest, Epp Foundation Repair is stepping forward with a renewed mission: to protect homeowners with proven, science-based structural solutions backed by one of the industry’s most trusted warranties.

Founded in 1994, and serving Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri, Epp Foundation Repair has grown from a small, family-run operation into one of the region’s most respected experts in foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, crawl space repair, and concrete leveling. Across more than three decades, the company has leaned on a simple promise: Fix it right. Stand behind the work. Treat every home like it’s your own.

Today, as homeowners face increasing challenges—more flooding events, expanding and contracting soils, and aging housing stock—Epp is expanding its commitment to education, diagnostics, and long-term structural protection.

The Foundation of Trust: A Family Legacy
Epp Foundation Repair traces its roots to founder Phil Epp, who spent years helping homeowners across Nebraska ensure the safety and stability of their properties. Two decades later, leadership transitioned to Phil’s son, Dave Epp, who continues the company’s tradition of craftsmanship with a focus on modern engineering and customer-first processes.

“People don’t call us because they’re having a good day,” said Dave Epp, Owner and CEO of Epp Foundation Repair. “They call because their home—their biggest investment—is showing signs of stress. Our job is to bring certainty back into the picture. Every inspection we perform, every repair we make is about restoring safety, protecting families, and giving homeowners peace of mind that lasts for decades.”

A Growing Regional Need for Reliable Structural Solutions
From Omaha to Des Moines, Topeka to Sioux City, the Midwest is seeing rising demand for foundation and waterproofing experts. Homes built on expansive clay soils, combined with recent swings in drought and heavy rainfall cycles, are bringing structural issues to the forefront.

Epp addresses these concerns with a comprehensive suite of services:

• Foundation Repair & Settlement Solutions Including helical piers, wall stabilization systems, structural reinforcement, and slab repair.
• Basement Waterproofing To address wet, leaking, or flooded basements that threaten home safety and indoor air quality.
• Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation Protecting against moisture, mold, wood rot, and energy loss through advanced vapor barrier systems and drainage solutions.
• Concrete Leveling Using modern technology to lift sunken sidewalks, driveways, patios, and slabs.

Their team emphasizes free inspections, detailed diagnostics, long-term warranties, transparent estimates, and education-driven customer care—key reasons homeowners trust the company year after year.

“For more than 30 years, we’ve built our business on doing what’s right, not what’s easy,” added Epp. “That means giving homeowners honest assessments, standing by our warranties, and providing repairs we’d want in our own homes. That approach has carried us from a father-and-son operation to a leader across four states with family values that are still the foundation of our business.”
