Foundation Help in Clarksville, TN
Clarksville is the biggest area I work in, and its mix of established neighborhoods and fast new development means every kind of foundation issue shows up here.

What I see in Clarksville
Clarksville has grown quickly, and that growth shows in the foundations. New construction on newly graded ground behaves differently than houses that have had decades to settle.
Basements and below-grade space
Clarksville has more basements than most Middle Tennessee towns, and most of the waterproofing calls I get are here. Water gets in through block walls, through the floor joint, and through cracks that open and close with the seasons.
Newer subdivisions
Where lots have been cut and filled, I see foundation movement in the first five to ten years. Often the right move is to manage water and monitor, rather than spend money on piers.
Older neighborhoods
Closer to downtown and the older parts of town, homes on piers and shallow footings show the kind of long-term movement that shows up as sticking doors and sloping floors.
