Septic Tips for Loris Homeowners
Many homes in the Loris area are on larger lots with older septic systems that may have been installed before modern SCDES regulations. If your septic system is more than 25 years old, it's worth having it professionally evaluated to ensure it's still functioning properly and protecting your well water. Upgrading an aging system before it fails is always more affordable than dealing with an emergency replacement.

SCDES Septic Permit Requirements for Horry County
Horry County septic permits are issued by SCDES under Regulation 61-56, with the local office reachable at (843) 915-8801. Due to the county's high water table and coastal location, many sites require alternative system designs such as mound systems (System Standard 420/421) or elevated infiltration systems (System Standard 601). Standard setbacks apply: 75 feet from private wells, 100 feet from public wells, 75 feet from surface water and tidal critical area lines, and 5 feet from property lines. The $150 site evaluation fee is required with the permit application.

Hurricane Season Septic Protection in Horry County
Horry County is highly vulnerable to hurricane flooding — storms like Hurricane Florence (2018) and Tropical Storm Debby (2024) caused catastrophic flooding along the Waccamaw River. Before hurricane season (June 1), have your tank pumped and inspected so it has maximum capacity for storm surges. If floodwaters cover your drain field, stop all water usage immediately and do not pump the tank until the ground dries — pumping a tank in saturated soil can cause it to pop out of the ground.

Horry County Soil Types and Septic Performance
Horry County sits entirely within the Lower Coastal Plain and has soils ranging from excessively drained fine sands on higher ground to very poorly drained sandy loams and loamy sands in its many low-lying areas. Dominant soil series include Leon, Lynchburg, and Rutlege, many of which have severe limitations for septic use due to wetness and slow percolation. Properties on better-drained upland ridges with Lakeland or Norfolk-type sands may support conventional drain fields, but a large percentage of the county requires alternative systems because of the flat terrain and saturated soils.

What People Are Saying
“We had a nightmare scenario with our septic system backing up over the weekend. After frantically calling several companies and only getting voicemails, I was so relieved when SepticWorkz answered immediately. They were professional and calming on the phone and promised to have a technician out as soon as possible.”
