Why foundations move in Green Hill
What is under the ground here
Sampled inside the Green Hill city limits, the USDA survey reads Stiversville at about 40 percent of the survey, with Hampshire and Maury alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 51 percent clay and 8 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 4.62 percent here, which USDA reads as moderate shrink swell potential. Clay content is 80 percent inside the city and 51 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 housing stock
The 1970s put up more homes than any other decade, 1,001 of them, and the median year built is 1979. 1,414 of those homes predate 1980, so drainage and footing condition get a close look at an inspection. A mortgage sits on 71 percent of the owner occupied homes here.
