Why foundations move in Thompson's Station
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside Thompson's Station comes back Armour at about 60 percent of the survey, with Huntington and Stiversville alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 62 percent clay and 26 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 3.28 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate moderate for shrink swell. Against 62 percent clay across Williamson County, the city sample reads 80 percent. 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
The 2010s put up more homes than any other decade, 1,619 of them, and the median year built is 2013. 434 of those homes predate 1980, so drainage and footing condition get a close look at an inspection. A mortgage sits on 77 percent of the owner occupied homes here.
