Serving Irmo and nearby areas

Irmo sits on the Dutch Fork between the Broad and Saluda rivers and straddles the Richland–Lexington county line, which is the first thing we check on an Irmo address: the tax map decides which county desk a permit goes to under SCDES 61-56. Septic is common on the older 1970s and 80s ranches and split-levels off St Andrews Road and Dutch Fork Road, on the Ballentine and Lake Murray side, and on the larger lots north toward Chapin; the Harbison side is mostly sewer.

Irmo calls are typically septic tank pumping in Irmo, SC on tanks that were set with a buried lid and no risers, baffle and lid repairs on those same concrete tanks, and drain field trouble on lakefront lots where the seasonal water table sits close to the trench. Each starts with the tank open and the sludge measured.

The soils change quickly across the Dutch Fork: sandy on one ridge, clay in the next hollow. A neighbour’s system is not a guide to yours; the soil evaluation on your lot is.

Why Irmo property owners call us

Across the Irmo area, the calls cluster around a few recurring situations:

Septic tank pumping in Irmo, SC. Older tanks on a 3–5 year interval, most with a lid to dig for; a riser is fitted on the same visit if you want one.
County line checked first. Richland or Lexington decides the permit desk; we look it up before the visit.
Lake and river lots. High water table after rain: the field, not the tank, is usually the problem, and the perc at trench depth says what to do.
Older concrete tanks. Baffles eaten by H2S, cracked lids, original clay lines — the repair calls that keep a 1975 tank going.
Home-sale inspections. Irmo houses change hands often; the septic letter is booked against the closing date.

Irmo FAQ

Do you pump septic tanks in Irmo, SC?

Yes. Septic tank pumping in Irmo, SC is a regular route: the tank is located, opened, pumped and the sludge measured, and the next interval is written on the receipt. Tell us if the lid is buried so the visit is booked with time to dig.

Which county handles my Irmo septic permit?

Irmo straddles the Richland–Lexington line; the parcel’s tax map decides. We check it before any permitted job under SCDES Regulation 61-56 so the application goes to the right desk first time.

Are septic prices different in Irmo than in Columbia?

No. The bands on the Columbia septic cost page apply; what changes the number is your lot — tank access and what the perc says about the field.

My Irmo house is from the 1970s and has never had a riser. Should it?

If the last pump-out started with a shovel, yes. A riser and gasketed lid brought to grade means the next pump-out is a lift-out; it is fitted while the tank is open. See septic tank riser installation.
