Ground conditions
The mapped soil in Castalian Springs is Harpeth across about 100 percent of the survey. By texture that survey runs 37 percent clay and 55 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 3.49 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.
What these homes were built like
The typical house dates to 1986, and the single biggest block of the stock, 88 homes, went up in the 1990s. The 109 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where original drainage gets the closest look. Of the owner occupied homes, 67 percent carry a mortgage.
