Why foundations move in Walnut Grove
What is under the ground here
Sampled inside the Walnut Grove city limits, the USDA survey reads Sengtown at about 40 percent of the survey, with Mountview and Dickson alongside it. The texture split is 37 percent clay and 55 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 3.49 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.
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
The typical house dates to 1984, and the single biggest block of the stock, 83 homes, went up in the 1980s. The 106 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where original drainage gets the closest look. Mortgages sit on 43 percent of the owner occupied homes in Walnut Grove.
