Why foundations move in Clarksville

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 housing stock

The typical house dates to 1995, and the single biggest block of the stock, 14,280 homes, went up in the 2000s. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 18,944 homes here, and original drainage is the first thing checked on those. 15 percent of the housing here, 9,387 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so some of the housing here is shared structures rather than single family homes. Mortgages sit on 73 percent of the owner occupied homes in Clarksville.
