Why foundations move in Lewisburg
The soil this town is built on
Soil mapping within Lewisburg returns Talbott at about 40 percent of the survey, with Rock outcrop alongside it. By texture that survey runs 70 percent clay and 12 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 4.89 percent here, which USDA reads as moderate shrink swell potential. Against 70 percent clay across Marshall County, the city sample reads 40 percent. 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.
The housing stock
The 1970s put up more homes than any other decade, 859 of them, and the median year built is 1976. The 2,984 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where original drainage gets the closest look. Of the owner occupied homes, 50 percent carry a mortgage.
