Clarendon County was a major theater of Revolutionary War action under General Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox." In August 1780, Marion freed 150 American prisoners at Nelson's Ferry while killing or capturing twenty-six British soldiers. He later forced a British retreat at Halfway Swamp and secured a British surrender at Fort Watson. The Swamp Fox Murals Trail now commemorates these events throughout the county.

Welcome to Summerton — Where History Runs Deep
Summerton is known as the gateway to Santee and Lake Marion, making it a favorite stop for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts heading to the water. The town also holds an important place in American civil rights history — Briggs v. Elliott, one of the five cases consolidated into the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision, originated right here in Summerton in 1947. That courageous stand by local families helped change the course of education in America forever.

Clarendon County Water Table and Septic Considerations
Clarendon County's seasonal high water table varies considerably between its uplands and lowlands. On the higher sandy loam ridges, the water table typically sits 2 to 4 feet below the surface, which can support conventional septic systems with careful site placement. Near Lake Marion and in the extensive swamplands along the Santee and Black rivers, the water table is frequently at or near the surface, especially from December through April. These saturated conditions make large areas of the county unsuitable for conventional septic systems, and properties near any waterway should undergo thorough soil and water table evaluation.

Clarendon County Soil Types and Septic Performance
Clarendon County sits on the middle Coastal Plain and features predominantly sandy and loamy soils on its gently sloping uplands, with extensive swampland soils in the low-lying areas near Lake Marion and the Black River. The upland soils — primarily Norfolk, Goldsboro, and Lynchburg series sandy loams — offer moderate drainage and are generally suitable for conventional septic systems when properly sited. In the swamp and wetland areas that cover large portions of the county, organic muck soils and very poorly drained sands create severe limitations for septic installation and typically cannot support any type of on-site wastewater system.

Summerton Soil & Septic Conditions
Summerton's proximity to Lake Marion and the Santee River system means many properties sit on soils with moderate to poor drainage and seasonally high water tables. The Coastal Plain soils here often have a sandy surface layer over a denser clay subsoil, which can create drainage challenges for conventional septic drain fields. In some areas around Summerton, alternative septic system designs like mound systems may be necessary to handle these soil conditions.

What People Are Saying
“We were tired of dealing with a discount pumper who just wasn't getting the job done! Our septic system was backing up every 3 to 6 months. Finally, we called Septic Workz. They used the Crust Buster to get all the solids out and then added commercial chemicals to help balance our tank. Three years later, we still haven't experienced any backups!”
