About Tigerville

Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are Cecil at 3 of 5 sampled points and Cartecay at 2. NRCS rates 3 somewhat limited and 2 very limited for absorption fields, with limits including a saturated zone mapped at 19 inches, flooding and seepage. The South Tyger River is about 0.2 mile away and FEMA maps a flood zone within 0.3 mile. That is generalized soil survey data, not a property evaluation; individual lots differ and each needs its own site evaluation.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
The 2020 Census counted 61 housing units inside the Tigerville place boundary. The 2020-2024 ACS puts the median year built around 2003, though a place this small has wide margins on every other figure, so we skip them. SC DES sets the rhythm for Tigerville like everywhere: look at the system every 1 to 2 years and pump every 3 to 5.
Tigerville questions
Do wet-weather problems matter near the South Tyger River?
The South Tyger River is about 0.2 mile and Barton Creek 0.4 mile from the Tigerville center, and FEMA maps a flood zone within about 0.3 mile. Flood-zone proximity can mean a high water table or a drain field that floods, as a general rule of septic. A site evaluation answers it for one lot.
What do the two soil types around Tigerville mean for a drain field?
Cecil and Cartecay show up in the survey, and NRCS lists flooding and a saturated zone among the limits, and 2 of the 5 points are drained somewhat poorly. Those are area clues. They help us know what to expect, but only a site evaluation shows what a given yard has.
