What is under the ground here
Sampled inside the Red Boiling Springs city limits, the USDA survey reads Hawthorne at about 40 percent of the survey, with Skidmore and Sugargrove alongside it. The texture split is 32 percent clay and 35 percent silt. Linear extensibility, the measure of how much a soil swells when it takes on water and shrinks when it dries, is weighted at 2.52 percent here, which USDA reads as low shrink swell potential. Against 32 percent clay across Macon County, the city sample reads 20 percent. 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.
