Why foundations move in Lawrenceburg
Ground conditions
The mapped soil in Lawrenceburg is Pembroke at about 40 percent of the survey, with Bodine and Bewleyville alongside it. The texture split is 50 percent clay and 49 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 1.81 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate low for shrink swell. Clay content is 60 percent inside the city and 50 percent countywide. Karst features are mapped in this area, so voids and sinkhole risk are part of the inspection.
Rain, drought and the calendar
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.
