Why foundations move in Millersville
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside Millersville comes back Sulphura at about 40 percent of the survey, with Bodine and Arrington alongside it. By texture that survey runs 37 percent clay and 55 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 3.49 percent here, which USDA reads as moderate shrink swell potential. Clay content is 20 percent inside the city and 37 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 1993, and the single biggest block of the stock, 846 homes, went up in the 1990s. The 752 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where original drainage gets the closest look. A mortgage sits on 69 percent of the owner occupied homes here.
