Why foundations move in Pleasant View
The soil this town is built on
Soil mapping within Pleasant View returns Sengtown at about 60 percent of the survey, with Mountview alongside it. The texture split is 8 percent clay and 88 percent silt. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 1.87 percent, a low shrink swell rating. 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.
The age of the housing
Most of what we walk into here was built in the 2000s, 540 homes, around a median build year of 1996. The 524 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where original drainage gets the closest look. Mortgages sit on 65 percent of the owner occupied homes in Pleasant View.
