Foundation problems we see in Springfield

Why foundations move in Springfield
What is under the ground here
The survey inside the city limits reads as urban fill rather than a natural series, which is normal for ground this built up, so the honest figure is the county one: across Robertson County the USDA survey is Sengtown at about 23 percent of the survey, with Mountview and Pembroke alongside it. The texture split is 25 percent clay and 73 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 2.95 percent here, which USDA reads as low shrink swell potential. 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
Most of what we walk into here was built in the 2000s, 1,464 homes, around a median build year of 1984. Pre 1980 construction accounts for 3,346 homes here, and original drainage is the first thing checked on those. Of the owner occupied homes, 66 percent carry a mortgage.
