Why foundations move in Berry Hill
The soil this town is built on
Soil mapping within Berry Hill returns Maury at about 60 percent of the survey, with Stiversville alongside it. By texture that survey runs 56 percent clay and 13 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 3.76 percent here, which USDA reads as moderate shrink swell potential. Against 56 percent clay across Davidson County, the city sample reads 100 percent. 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
Most of what we walk into here was built in the 2010s, 936 homes, around a median build year of 2012. 295 of those homes predate 1980, so drainage and footing condition get a close look at an inspection. 98 percent of the housing here, 1,219 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so some of the housing here is shared structures rather than single family homes. A mortgage sits on 58 percent of the owner occupied homes here.
