What we fix
Foundation problems we see in Morrison
Drywall Cracks
The USDA survey across Warren County reads clay and rates its shrink swell potential low. Soil that changes volume against a wall through the year is the main reason foundations here crack and settle.

164 homes in Morrison were finished before 1980, and drainage gets the closest look on homes of that age.

Why foundations move in Morrison
What is under the ground here
The survey inside the city limits reads as urban fill rather than a natural series, which is normal for ground this built up, so the honest figure is the county one: across Warren County the USDA survey is Waynesboro at about 22 percent of the survey, with Mountview and Dickson alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 50 percent clay and 36 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 2.28 percent here, which USDA reads as low shrink swell potential. Karst features are mapped in this area, so voids and sinkhole risk are part of the inspection.
The seasonal cycle here
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
The 1990s put up more homes than any other decade, 86 of them, and the median year built is 1981. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 164 homes here, and original drainage is the first thing checked on those. 24 percent of the housing here, 63 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so some of the housing here is shared structures rather than single family homes. Mortgages sit on 41 percent of the owner occupied homes in Morrison.
