Why foundations move in Hendersonville
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside Hendersonville comes back Harpeth at about 60 percent of the survey, with Mimosa and Arrington alongside it. The texture split is 37 percent clay and 55 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 3.49 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate moderate for shrink swell. Against 37 percent clay across Sumner County, the city sample reads 20 percent. 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.
What these homes were built like
The 2010s put up more homes than any other decade, 4,514 of them, and the median year built is 1989. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 9,553 homes here, and original drainage is the first thing checked on those. 21 percent of the housing here, 4,976 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 71 percent of the owner occupied homes in Hendersonville.
