Foundations on the Plateau, Cookeville.
On the Cumberland Plateau, sandstone caps and shale layers sit under thin, rocky soil. Rock is often close to the surface, lots slope toward the edges, and water finds its way through the layers. Good drainage, solid footings and dry crawl spaces matter most.
Cookeville is about 71 miles from downtown Nashville, in Putnam County.

Water in the layers
Seeps and runoff need a clear path away from the house.
Dry crawl spaces
Humidity and wet soil hurt wood framing, so sealing and drying pay off.
