Why foundations move in New Hope
Ground conditions
Mapped soil inside New Hope is recorded as disturbed urban ground, so the useful reading is the wider one. Across Coffee County the USDA survey is Ramsey at about 22 percent of the survey, with Bouldin and Lily alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 54 percent clay and 22 percent sand. Weighted linear extensibility runs 1.73 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate low for shrink swell. 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.
What these homes were built like
Most of what we walk into here was built in the 1980s, 84 homes, around a median build year of 1984. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 166 homes here, and original drainage is the first thing checked on those. Mortgages sit on 40 percent of the owner occupied homes in New Hope.
