Chatham County NC Soil Types and Effects on Septic Systems

Chatham County Land Expert Eric Andrews (https://www.ericandrewsrealtor.com/) discusses the soils found throughout various parts of the county. Pittsboro, Siler City and Goldston are the only areas in Chatham County NC which have municipal sewer systems. All other areas have septic systems. Land around Jordan Lake has challenging, packed, white soils. Many homes in this area have specially engineered septic systems. North Chatham has good soils but has a lot of rock. This is challenging as septic systems must navigate around rock. Some of the best soils in Chatham County follow along highway 64 between Pittsboro and Siler City. Pittsboro has great soil as well, although, Pittsboro also has septic. Silk Hope is 50/50. There are some areas with great soil. Thanks to the elevation of the Silk Hope area, there are vineyards in the area. Bear Creek is hit or miss. There is often good dirt in this area, it is just a bit shallow. The southwest section of Chatham County has soil similar to the area surrounding Jordan Lake, however, property values are lower here making engineered systems less cost effective. Yellow, gray or white chalky soils, rocky soils, or clay are challenging soils. Before purchasing land be sure to have the soil evaluated and also do a perc test.
