Why foundations move in Adams
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside Adams comes back Sengtown at about 40 percent of the survey, with Sango and Mountview alongside it. By texture that survey runs 25 percent clay and 73 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 2.95 percent here, which USDA reads as low shrink swell potential. Against 25 percent clay across Robertson County, the city sample reads 20 percent. Karst features are mapped in this area, so voids and sinkhole risk are part of the inspection.
Rain, drought and the calendar
Middle Tennessee clay swells in a wet spring and shrinks in a dry summer, and a foundation moves with it. That shrink swell cycle is the seasonal load these footings carry.
What these homes were built like
The typical house dates to 1969, and the single biggest block of the stock, 90 homes, went up before 1940. The 182 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where original drainage gets the closest look. A mortgage sits on 60 percent of the owner occupied homes here.
