New-Home Septic, Permitted Fast and Installed Right

Conway sits at the center of one of South Carolina's fastest-growing counties. New subdivisions are pushing outward in every direction — and much of that fringe growth is happening beyond the reach of public sewer. On those lots, septic isn't a fallback; it's the plan from day one, and the septic permit sits squarely on the critical path of the build.

South Carolina requires SCDES site approval and a Permit to Construct before Horry County or the City of Conway will issue a building permit for an unsewered lot. The sequence matters: soil evaluation first, then the permit application, then installation by a licensed installer, then final inspection. Installers who do new-construction work every week know this sequence cold — which is exactly why we match you with pros who specialize in it rather than generalists.

Horry County soils vary a lot from one parcel to the next — sandy loam in some areas, tighter soils in others — so the soil evaluation genuinely decides what kind of system goes in and where. If you're buying land or a lot in a new development, get the septic question answered before you're committed: ask whether the lot is inside or outside the sewer service area, and whether a soil evaluation has already been done. When you request a quote through Conway Septic Pros, tell us the property location, whether it's a new build or an existing home, and your timeline — the installer arrives prepared and quotes accurately.
