Why foundations move in Lynchburg
The soil this town is built on
Soil mapping within Lynchburg returns Dellrose at about 40 percent of the survey, with Mimosa and Hawthorne alongside it. By texture that survey runs 37 percent clay and 54 percent silt. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 4.23 percent, a moderate shrink swell rating. 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.
What these homes were built like
Most of what we walk into here was built in the 1990s, 662 homes, around a median build year of 1991. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 1,099 homes here, and original drainage is the first thing checked on those. A mortgage sits on 54 percent of the owner occupied homes here.
