Why foundations move in White House
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside White House comes back Dickson at about 40 percent of the survey, with Sango and Captina alongside it. Broken down by texture it is 25 percent clay and 73 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 2.95 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate low for shrink swell. 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 housing stock
The typical house dates to 2001, and the single biggest block of the stock, 1,549 homes, went up in the 2000s. 884 of those homes predate 1980, so drainage and footing condition get a close look at an inspection. Of the owner occupied homes, 81 percent carry a mortgage.
