Why foundations move in Kingston Springs
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside Kingston Springs comes back Hawthorne at about 80 percent of the survey, with Arrington alongside it. By texture that survey runs 8 percent clay and 88 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 1.87 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 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 typical house dates to 1991, and the single biggest block of the stock, 317 homes, went up in the 1990s. 307 of those homes predate 1980, so drainage and footing condition get a close look at an inspection. Of the owner occupied homes, 67 percent carry a mortgage.
