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 Rivers, Watersheds, and Flood Zones
Horry County is shaped by three major waterways: the Waccamaw River, the Pee Dee River along its western border, and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway running parallel to the coast. Hurricane Florence in 2018 pushed the Waccamaw to a record crest over 21 feet at Conway, and the 35,000-acre Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge stored an estimated 98 billion gallons of floodwater during that event. Large portions of the county are designated FEMA flood zones, and properties anywhere near these waterways require careful site evaluation before septic system permitting.

Horry County Water Table and Septic Considerations
Horry County has some of the shallowest seasonal high water tables in the Pee Dee region, with many areas seeing saturation within 6 to 18 inches of the surface during the wet season. The county's flat topography and proximity to the coast mean that water has limited ability to drain, and tidal influences can push groundwater even higher in eastern areas near the Intracoastal Waterway. Mound systems and low-pressure pipe systems are commonly required across much of Horry County, and homeowners should plan for higher installation costs compared to counties with deeper water tables.

High Water Table and Coastal Density Issues in Horry County
Horry County's porous sandy soils and high water table — especially around the Myrtle Beach area — create significant septic challenges. Rapid development has placed many septic systems close together in low-lying, wet areas, meaning the soil never fully recovers between absorption cycles. Rising sea levels are pushing the water table even higher, shrinking the vertical separation between drain fields and groundwater and allowing partially treated wastewater to reach nearby waterways.

They were professional and calming on the phone and promised to have a technician out as soon as possible.”
