Why foundations move in Woodburn
The soil, and what it does
The USDA soil survey inside Woodburn comes back Crider at about 60 percent of the survey, with Vertrees and Pembroke alongside it. By texture that survey runs 50 percent clay and 33 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 3.44 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate moderate for shrink swell. The sample inside the city runs 40 percent clay against 50 percent across Warren County, so the ground here is lighter than the county average. Karst features are mapped in this area, so voids and sinkhole risk are part of the inspection.
The seasonal cycle here
Southern Kentucky soils run a less aggressive shrink swell cycle than Middle Tennessee clay, with soil profiles that change from one county to the next.
The age of the housing
The years before 1940 put up more homes than any other decade, 38 of them, and the median year built is 1967. The 67 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where original drainage gets the closest look. Mortgages sit on 59 percent of the owner occupied homes in Woodburn.
