Foundation problems we see in Lebanon

Why foundations move in Lebanon
Ground conditions
The mapped soil in Lebanon is Talbott at about 60 percent of the survey, with Tupelo and Barfield alongside it. By texture that survey runs 51 percent clay and 8 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 4.62 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate moderate for shrink swell. Clay content is 40 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 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 1997, and the single biggest block of the stock, 4,180 homes, went up in the 2010s. 5,358 of those homes predate 1980, so drainage and footing condition get a close look at an inspection. 20 percent of the housing here, 3,005 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so some of the housing here is shared structures rather than single family homes. Of the owner occupied homes, 67 percent carry a mortgage.
