Did You Know? — Dillon County

Dillon County is home to South of the Border, one of America's most iconic roadside attractions. It started in 1950 as a one-room pink cinderblock beer depot when Alan Schafer saw an opportunity to sell beer to thirsty travelers from dry Robeson County, North Carolina. Today, the complex features the 104-foot Pedro mascot statue, a 200-foot Sombrero Tower, and nearly 200 billboards spanning 500 miles of interstate.

About Dillon County — What Affects Your Septic System

Local Spotlight

Dillon: A Railroad Town Near the Famous South of the Border

Dillon was founded in 1888 and named after James W. Dillon, a prominent local businessman who helped bring the railroad to the area. The city serves as the county seat and is located right off Interstate 95, just miles from the iconic South of the Border roadside attraction that has drawn travelers since 1950. Dillon's history as a railroad hub shaped its downtown, and the town continues to serve as a gateway between the Carolinas.

Local Soil Conditions

Dillon Soil & Septic Conditions

Dillon County sits on the upper coastal plain with soils that are generally sandy to sandy loam near the surface, transitioning to clay at deeper levels. These well-drained sandy soils can be good for septic systems, but the clay sublayer can create a perched water table during prolonged wet periods. Homeowners in the Dillon area should ensure their drain field is installed at the right depth to avoid hitting that clay barrier.

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!
