Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are mostly Cecil, at 4 of 5 sampled points, with Cataula at one. NRCS rates 4 points somewhat limited and 1 very limited for absorption fields; NRCS lists a saturated zone at one point, mapped as shallow as 25 inches. Little Generostee Creek is about 0.2 mile off and FEMA maps a flood zone within 0.3 mile. These are generalized survey figures; individual lots differ, and only a site evaluation speaks to a specific property.

Starr questions
Do you cover Starr even though it is so far out?
Yes. Starr is about 59 miles from downtown Spartanburg in a straight line, or 66.9 miles by road, and we also serve it. Ring 864-680-2692 with the address and the symptoms, and we take the Starr job from there.
Do wet-weather problems matter near Little Generostee Creek?
The creek runs about 0.2 mile from the Starr center, and FEMA maps a flood zone within about 0.3 mile. Flood maps are a hint, not a verdict; wet ground near a zone can still mean a high water table. That varies by lot, so it gets checked on site.
