Why foundations move in Woodbury
What is under the ground here
Sampled inside the Woodbury city limits, the USDA survey reads Talbott at about 40 percent of the survey, with Inman and Hawthorne alongside it. The texture split is 31 percent clay and 42 percent silt. Weighted linear extensibility runs 3.97 percent, meaning the soil changes volume enough between wet and dry to rate moderate for shrink swell. Against 31 percent clay across Cannon County, the city sample reads 20 percent. 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 1960s put up more homes than any other decade, 243 of them, and the median year built is 1967. The 783 homes finished before 1980 are the ones where original drainage gets the closest look. 15 percent of the housing here, 155 units, sits in buildings of five or more, so some of the housing here is shared structures rather than single family homes. A mortgage sits on 63 percent of the owner occupied homes here.
