Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are Cecil at all 5 sampled points, well drained, with a sandy loam surface over clay or sandy clay loam. NRCS rates this somewhat limited for septic absorption fields because of slow water movement, with no other limits listed. Mapped slope is about 4 percent and elevation is about 1,023 feet. This is generalized survey data for the area, not a property evaluation; individual lots differ and need a site evaluation.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
The 2020 Census counted 9,912 housing units. The median home was built about 1973 and about 73 percent were built before 1980, per 2020-2024 ACS estimates. About 65 percent are owner-occupied and about 5 percent are mobile homes. Build year does not change the SC DES advice for a Wade Hampton house: inspect every 1 to 2 years and pump every 3 to 5.
Wade Hampton questions
Does Wade Hampton's survey show any flood limits on soils?
No flooding or high water table limit appears in the soil survey samples around Wade Hampton, and FEMA shows no flood zone within about 0.3 mile of the center. Boling Creek and Mountain Creek run about a mile away. Survey data is only a general guide, so each lot still gets a site check.
What do Cecil soils mean for a drain field here?
NRCS rates Cecil soils somewhat limited for absorption fields because water moves through them slowly, with a clay layer under the sandy loam surface. Around Wade Hampton that is the only limit it lists. That is a general soil rating, not a permit ruling, and a site evaluation covers the actual lot.
