Ground conditions
The mapped soil in Westmoreland is Sugargrove at about 60 percent of the survey, with Sulphura alongside it. The texture split is 37 percent clay and 55 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 3.49 percent here, which USDA reads as moderate shrink swell potential. Clay content is 60 percent inside the city and 37 percent countywide. 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.
