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 by the Numbers
Horry County is one of South Carolina's fastest-growing counties with a population exceeding 370,000 residents and over 219,000 housing units across 1,255 square miles. Growth has been explosive — the population increased nearly 4% in a single year. While the Grand Strand beach communities are largely on municipal sewer, inland and rural areas of Horry County still rely heavily on septic systems. Lot sizes vary dramatically from compact oceanfront parcels to expansive inland acreage.

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.

Surfside Beach Soil Conditions and Your Septic System
Surfside Beach shares the same coastal soil challenges as the rest of the Grand Strand — deep sandy soils with a water table that can sit just 2 to 4 feet below the surface. This high water table is the biggest factor affecting septic systems in the area, as it limits the depth available for drain field installation and treatment. Many Surfside Beach homes that were built decades ago have aging septic systems that may not meet current standards for these challenging 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!”
