Why foundations move in Oak Hill
Ground conditions
The mapped soil in Oak Hill is Bodine at about 40 percent of the survey, with Maury and Mimosa alongside it. The texture split is 56 percent clay and 13 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 3.76 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate moderate for shrink swell. The sample inside the city runs 100 percent clay against 56 percent across Davidson County, so the ground here is heavier than the county average. Karst features are mapped in this area, so voids and sinkhole risk are part of the inspection.
Rain, drought and the calendar
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 age of the housing
The typical house dates to 1958, and the single biggest block of the stock, 835 homes, went up in the 1950s. 1,516 of those homes predate 1980, so drainage and footing condition get a close look at an inspection. Of the owner occupied homes, 54 percent carry a mortgage.
