Why foundations move in Lyles
Ground conditions
The mapped soil in Lyles is Sengtown at about 60 percent of the survey, with Mountview and Hawthorne alongside it. By texture that survey runs 66 percent clay and 26 percent silt. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 2.12 percent, a low shrink swell rating. Against 66 percent clay across Hickman 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.
The housing stock
The typical house dates to 1980, and the single biggest block of the stock, 117 homes, went up in the 1970s. 188 of those homes predate 1980, so drainage and footing condition get a close look at an inspection. A mortgage sits on 42 percent of the owner occupied homes here.
