Why foundations move in New Union
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside New Union comes back Mountview at about 60 percent of the survey, with Dickson alongside it. The texture split is 44 percent clay and 42 percent silt. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 2.76 percent, a low shrink swell rating. Clay content is 60 percent inside the city and 44 percent countywide. 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 typical house dates to 1992, and the single biggest block of the stock, 219 homes, went up in the 1990s. 136 of those homes predate 1980, so drainage and footing condition get a close look at an inspection. Mortgages sit on 50 percent of the owner occupied homes in New Union.
