Foundations on the Nashville Basin, White House.

The Nashville Basin is shallow limestone under a blanket of clay. The clay swells in wet seasons and shrinks in dry ones, the rock below can be uneven and cavities called karst features, including sinkholes, are part of the landscape. Foundations here move a little with the seasons, and sometimes a lot, so cracks, sticking doors and sloping floors are good reasons for an inspection.

White House is about 22 miles from downtown Nashville, in Robertson and Sumner counties.

Why do foundations crack around Nashville?

Seasonal clay movement, uneven rock below and water near the foundation are common causes. A small hairline crack is often cosmetic, while a widening crack, stair-step pattern or sloping floor deserves an inspection.
