Landmines — flags that cap this score
⚑ Soil rated "Very limited" for septic · caps this score at 60
USDA rates this soil "Very limited" for septic absorption fields. If the lot has no sewer service, a standard septic system likely fails here — an engineered system can cost tens of thousands more, and a failed perc test can kill the build. Order the perc test before closing. (USDA SSURGO (engstafdcd))
