Serving Pelion and nearby areas

Pelion is the small town in the far southwest of Lexington County on SC-302 and US-178, surrounded by farmland and sandhills, and septic is the only option for nearly every house: the town lots, the older homes along Pine Street and the Edmund and Swansea roads, and the acreage lots being built on around it. The sand drains fast, most houses are on a well, and the systems tend to be old and simple — a concrete tank and a gravity field.

The Pelion calls are the ones a long interval produces: septic tank pumping in Pelion, SC on tanks that have not been opened in a decade or more, concrete baffles gone to H2S, a cracked lid or a lid that has to be dug for, roots through an original line, and new systems for houses going up on family land. Field failure is less common here than on the clay closer to Columbia, but a field that has taken solids for years because the baffles were gone is another matter.

A new system or a field rebuild is a permitted SCDES 61-56 job through the regional office covering Lexington County, with the well setback measured first; pumping, risers and baffle repairs are not.

Why Pelion property owners call us

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

Septic tank pumping in Pelion, SC. Long-overdue tanks pumped, sludge measured and the real interval written down.
Baffles first. On an old tank the outlet tee is what saves the field; replaced in PVC with an effluent filter when it has gone.
Wells and setbacks. Nearly every Pelion lot is on a well; the setback is the first line on any design.
New systems on family land. Soil evaluation, tank and field for houses going up on subdivided acreage.
Rural, not remote. Pelion is on the same route as Gaston and Swansea; the pump-out band on the cost page is the number.

Pelion FAQ

Do you pump septic tanks in Pelion, SC?

Yes. Septic tank service in Pelion, SC is mostly the overdue pump-out: tank located, opened and pumped, sludge measured, baffles checked and the next interval written on the receipt. Tell us if the lid is buried.

Are septic prices different in Pelion than in Columbia?

No. The Columbia septic cost page bands apply across Lexington County; what moves a single job is access to the tank and what we find when it is open.

Do I need a permit for septic work in Pelion?

For a new system, a new or rebuilt drain field or a replacement tank, yes, under SCDES Regulation 61-56 through the regional office covering Lexington County. Pumping, risers, baffle and line repairs do not need one.

My Pelion tank has not been pumped in over ten years. Is the field ruined?

Not necessarily. If the outlet baffle held, the field may be fine; if it failed and solids have been leaving the tank, the trench walls may be sealed. Opening the tank and walking the field answers it — see septic tank pumping and drain field repair.
