Septic Services in the Lowcountry

  • 8septic companies
  • 8based locally

Large parts of rural Jasper County outside the BJWSA service area rely on septic tanks, and so do many homes on Lady's Island, where the 2019 plan set no requirement to connect to public sewer. Older houses around Ridgeland and manufactured homes on rural lots often have systems nobody has mapped in years. Heavy summer rains can leave a drainfield soaked, and a soaked drainfield doesn't drain.

Ask whether a pumping includes a look at the baffles and the drainfield, and get a written report. If you don't know where the tank is, ask them to locate and mark it so you have a record.

Ray's Take

Know where the tank and drainfield are before you plant, pave or park on them. Tree roots and truck tires are hard on both.
