Foundations on West Tennessee soil, Jackson.
West Tennessee sits on deep loess, a windblown silt, and clay layers that hold water and move. The land is flat, so water can pool near the house, and slabs and footings settle unevenly. Drainage, foam lifting and piers carried down to firm soil are common answers.
Jackson is about 120 miles from downtown Nashville, in Madison County.
Soft, deep soil
Footings can sink unevenly, and piers carry the load to firmer layers.
Water that pools
Flat lots hold water against the foundation unless it is graded and drained.
Sinking slabs
Foam lifting and slab piers restore floors and driveways quickly.

Jackson homeowners ask
Why is my slab sinking?
Soft or washed-out soil under the slab, poor drainage and tree roots are the usual causes. Lifting fixes the surface, and the cause is corrected so it does not happen again.
