Operators based within 12 miles of Briarcliffe Acres whose entry on the state's list covers septic installation. Placed by published business address, never by a claimed service area.

Before anyone digs

The permit comes first and it comes from the state. You apply to SCDES on form D-1740 through its ePermitting portal ($150), SCDES evaluates the site, and a Permit to Construct is good for five years. A Tier 1 installer may build a gravity-fed residential system; pumps, mounds and other designs need Tier 2 or Tier 3.

What this costs around Briarcliffe Acres

No authority in South Carolina publishes what a septic contractor charges, and we do not print figures we cannot source. What is published is the permit side, and that is on the Horry County page.
