Why foundations move in Mitchellville
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside Mitchellville comes back Dickson at about 40 percent of the survey, with Mountview and Sengtown alongside it. The texture split is 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. Against 37 percent clay across Sumner 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
Most of what we walk into here was built in the 1980s, 13 homes, around a median build year of 1982. The 28 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where original drainage gets the closest look. A mortgage sits on 23 percent of the owner occupied homes here.
