Why foundations move in Auburntown
Ground conditions
The survey inside the city limits reads as urban fill rather than a natural series, which is normal for ground this built up, so the honest figure is the county one: across Cannon County the USDA survey is Hawthorne at about 13 percent of the survey, with Dickson and Dellrose alongside it. By texture that survey runs 31 percent clay and 42 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 3.97 percent here, which USDA reads as moderate shrink swell potential. Karst features are mapped in this area, so voids and sinkhole risk are part of the inspection.
The weather these foundations live with
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.
The age of the housing
The years before 1940 put up more homes than any other decade, 40 of them, and the median year built is 1963. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 125 homes here, and original drainage is the first thing checked on those. Mortgages sit on 51 percent of the owner occupied homes in Auburntown.
