Why foundations move in Rural Hill
The soil this town is built on
Mapped soil inside Rural Hill is recorded as disturbed urban ground, so the useful reading is the wider one. Across Wilson County the USDA survey is Talbott at about 30 percent of the survey, with Gladeville and Rock outcrop alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 51 percent clay and 8 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 4.62 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate moderate for shrink swell. 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 housing stock
The 1990s put up more homes than any other decade, 413 of them, and the median year built is 1990. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 217 homes here, and original drainage is the first thing checked on those. Of the owner occupied homes, 54 percent carry a mortgage.
