Raleigh, NC sits on clay piedmont soils, sandy toward the coast and has a humid subtropical climate with about 44–48" of rain a year.

In practical terms, high rainfall, hurricanes and humid crawl spaces make moisture control and encapsulation central — which is exactly why septic system service is a common need here.
