Marion County Soil Types and Septic Performance
Marion County's upland soils are predominantly sandy loam of the Norfolk and Orangeburg series, which are well drained with moderate permeability and generally suitable for conventional septic drain fields. However, the county is flanked by the Great Pee Dee River on the west and the Little Pee Dee River on the east, and the wide river bottomlands between them contain poorly drained alluvial soils with high clay and organic content. These floodplain soils drain very slowly and typically cannot support conventional septic systems, requiring mound systems or connection to public sewer where available.

Septic Tips for Nichols Homeowners
After the flooding Nichols has experienced, it's critical to have your septic system professionally inspected if floodwaters ever reach your tank or drain field area. Floodwater can wash contaminants into your tank, shift components, and saturate the drain field soil to the point where it can't function properly. If you're rebuilding or replacing a system in Nichols, talk to your installer about elevated or mound-style systems designed for flood-prone areas.

Nichols: A Resilient Community After Historic Flooding
Nichols is a small town in Marion County that gained national attention after being devastated by catastrophic flooding from both Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Florence in 2018. The Lumber River and its tributaries overflowed both times, submerging much of the town and displacing hundreds of residents. Despite the hardship, the Nichols community has shown remarkable resilience and continues to rebuild and recover.

Marion County by the Numbers
Marion County has a population of approximately 28,900 residents with roughly 14,300 housing units across 489 square miles. As a predominantly rural county, a large share of homes — likely 50% or more — use septic systems rather than municipal sewer, with sewer service concentrated in the towns of Marion and Mullins. Rural lot sizes are generous, often ranging from one to five acres or more.
