Foundations in the Valley and Ridge, Chattanooga.
East Tennessee's long valleys and ridges sit on folded limestone and shale with clay between. Sinkholes, slopes and moving water are all part of building here. Foundations on valley floors fight karst voids and damp air, and ridge lots fight slope creep and runoff.
Chattanooga is about 113 miles from downtown Nashville, in Hamilton County.
Karst and sinkholes
Limestone dissolves, leaving voids and soft spots that can settle a home.
Slopes and runoff
Hillside lots need walls and drains that move water away from the house.
Damp lower levels
Basements and crawl spaces take on moisture without good drainage.
