Why foundations move in Cedar Hill
What is under the ground here
Sampled inside the Cedar Hill city limits, the USDA survey reads Baxter at about 40 percent of the survey, with Dickson and Pembroke alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 25 percent clay and 73 percent silt. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 2.95 percent, a low shrink swell rating. Clay content is 60 percent inside the city and 25 percent countywide. Karst features are mapped in this area, so voids and sinkhole risk are part of the inspection.
The seasonal cycle here
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 before 1940, 64 homes, around a median build year of 1953. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 97 homes here, and original drainage is the first thing checked on those. Mortgages sit on 51 percent of the owner occupied homes in Cedar Hill.
