Why Shackle Island homes need
a local foundation expert
Sumner County straddles the Highland Rim's transition into the Nashville Basin, and its clay-rich soils near Old Hickory Lake and the Cumberland River tend to hold moisture longer than inland ground. Hendersonville and Gallatin homeowners often see foundation movement from the seasonal shrink-swell clay cycle, made more pronounced in low-lying lots close to the water.
