Why foundations move in Cross Plains
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside Cross Plains comes back Mountview at about 40 percent of the survey, with Hamblen and Newark alongside it. The texture split 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. 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 housing stock
The typical house dates to 1991, and the single biggest block of the stock, 156 homes, went up in the 1990s. The 203 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where original drainage gets the closest look. Mortgages sit on 71 percent of the owner occupied homes in Cross Plains.
