Sand over clay
A lot of Lee County has sandy topsoil sitting on clay. Water moves fast through the sand and then stops at the clay, so a field that looks fine in a dry month can be sitting in water after a wet one. The site evaluation looks for that restrictive layer and sizes the system around it.

Giddings questions
Asked around Giddings.
What do I need before applying for a septic permit in Lee County?
A Lee County development permit comes first. The septic application then goes to Lee County Sanitation in Giddings, which sets a one-acre minimum lot size for a single-family home.
Do you pump septic tanks in Giddings?
Yes. Lee County is part of Larry’s service area for pumping, repairs, new systems and inspections.
Why is my drain field soggy only in wet months?
Often it’s a clay layer under sandy topsoil. Water perches on the clay and the field has nowhere to drain. It can also be an overdue tank sending solids into the field. An inspection sorts out which.
