Why foundations move in Normandy
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside Normandy comes back Harpeth at about 40 percent of the survey, with Mimosa and Bluestocking alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 51 percent clay and 23 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 5.56 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate moderate for shrink swell. Against 51 percent clay across Bedford County, the city sample reads 80 percent. 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.
The housing stock
The years before 1940 put up more homes than any other decade, 32 of them, and the median year built is 1945. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 52 homes here, and original drainage is the first thing checked on those. Mortgages sit on 50 percent of the owner occupied homes in Normandy.
