Why foundations move in Mount Juliet
Ground conditions
Mapped soil inside Mount Juliet is recorded as disturbed urban ground, so the useful reading is the wider one. Across Wilson County the USDA survey is Talbott at about 30 percent of the survey, with Gladeville and Rock outcrop alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 51 percent clay and 8 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 4.62 percent here, which USDA reads as moderate 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 2010s put up more homes than any other decade, 4,857 of them, and the median year built is 2005. The 1,685 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where original drainage gets the closest look. 16 percent of the housing here, 2,244 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 74 percent of the owner occupied homes in Mount Juliet.
