In the early 1900s, Darlington became the largest tobacco market in all of South Carolina after Bright Leaf tobacco was introduced in 1899. Before that, the county thrived on cotton, with warehouses and gins dotting the landscape. Today the agricultural heritage lives on, though the county has diversified well beyond its farming roots.

SCDES Septic Permit Requirements for Darlington County
All onsite wastewater systems in Darlington County require an SCDES permit under Regulation 61-56. The site evaluation fee is $150, and a licensed Professional Soil Classifier may be required due to the mix of well-drained Orangeburg and clayey Duplin soils found across the county. Minimum setbacks include 75 feet from private wells, 100 feet from public wells, 75 feet from surface water bodies, 5 feet from property lines, and 5 feet from buildings. Septic tanks must have a minimum net liquid capacity of 1,000 gallons for homes with four bedrooms or fewer.

Septic Tips for Darlington Homeowners
With the heavy clay soils common around Darlington, we recommend having your septic tank pumped every 3 to 5 years to prevent solids from reaching your drain field. During big race weekends, homeowners hosting extra guests should be mindful of increased water usage that can overload a septic system. Spreading out laundry loads and showers over the course of the day helps keep your system running smoothly.

Mixed Soil Drainage Problems in Darlington County
Darlington County sits on the upper Coastal Plain where well-drained sandy loam uplands transition into clayey lowland soils such as the Duplin series. Homes built on clay-heavy parcels often experience slow percolation and drain field saturation, causing septic backups and surfacing effluent. Properties near creeks and bottomlands are especially vulnerable because the clay subsoil limits how quickly wastewater can filter downward.

Darlington is famous worldwide for the Darlington Raceway, NASCAR's original superspeedway and the home of the Southern 500 since 1950. The track's unique egg-shaped design earned it the nickname "The Track Too Tough to Tame," and race weekends bring tens of thousands of fans to this small Pee Dee town.

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!”
