SANDY SOIL (possibility exhibited):
Undisturbed, sandy soils generally are of little concern. Sandy soils
tend to expand and contract less than other soils and thereby cause less
damage to buildings and foundations The inspector checks soil types by
sampling only the top one or two inches. The importance of the soil type
found at greater depths may be significant. Since soils so profoundly
affect structures resting upon them you are advised to consult with a
Geotechnical Engineer or other soils expert before taking possession of
the property.
