What the ground in Tomball is like

The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in Tomball for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 13 square miles. About 95% of the rated ground is classed "Very limited", the survey records severe restrictions for a conventional drain field across most of that ground.

In Tomball, the leading limit is slow water movement: effluent does not drain through the soil fast enough, so a conventional field can back up or pond when the ground cannot keep pace. The survey flags that limit on about 82% of the rated ground here.

The limiting features the survey records most often here:

• Slow water movement82.1%
• Depth to saturated zone74.7%
• Seepage, bottom layer13.3%
• Flooding2.8%
