Why foundations move in Unionville
What is under the ground here
Sampled inside the Unionville city limits, the USDA survey reads Bradyville at about 60 percent of the survey, with Lomond and Talbott alongside it. By texture that survey runs 51 percent clay and 23 percent silt. The weighted linear extensibility figure, which is how much the soil changes volume between wet and dry, sits at 5.56 percent, a moderate shrink swell rating. The sample inside the city runs 80 percent clay against 51 percent across Bedford County, so the ground here is heavier than the county average. 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.
What these homes were built like
The typical house dates to 1992, and the single biggest block of the stock, 163 homes, went up in the 2010s. 164 of those homes predate 1980, so drainage and footing condition get a close look at an inspection. Of the owner occupied homes, 64 percent carry a mortgage.
