Why foundations move in Coopertown
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside Coopertown comes back Sengtown at about 40 percent of the survey, with Mountview and Dickson alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 25 percent clay and 73 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 2.95 percent here, which USDA reads as low shrink swell potential. Clay content is 20 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 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 2000s, 566 homes, around a median build year of 1996. The 284 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where original drainage gets the closest look. Of the owner occupied homes, 68 percent carry a mortgage.
