Septic services in Clover, South Carolina

Operators based within 12 miles of Clover

Listed by where the business is, not by who it says it serves. Every operator here was on the SCDES Onsite Wastewater Contractors list on the date its record shows, and the address it is placed by comes from that same list, so this is a checkable claim rather than a service-area promise. A South Carolina licence is issued by the state, not by a county, so operators further out can work here too; these are simply the ones closest to you.

Soil and septic suitability around Clover

The USDA has already rated this ground for exactly one use: a septic tank absorption field. Within 4 miles of Clover — 32,005 acres across 57 soil map units — it rates 48.7% of the land very limited for that use and 50.2% somewhat limited, and almost none with no limitation at all.

What the limitation actually is

A rating on its own tells you nothing you can act on. The reasons do, and around Clover the leading one is slope on 24% of the mapped area, followed by slow water movement on 23.9%. In full:

Limiting featureShare of areaWhat it means on site
Slope24%The ground is too steep for a conventional field
Slow water movement23.9%Water moves through the soil too slowly for a drain field to keep up
Depth to saturated zone23.3%A seasonal water table sits too close to the surface
Depth to bedrock12.2%Bedrock is too shallow to fit a trench above it
Flooding7.4%The site floods often enough to matter

Shares overlap: most soils here are limited for more than one reason at once, so these do not sum to 98.9%.

The soils themselves

The named soils and land types that make up most of the ground around Clover. Cecil alone accounts for 27.2% of it.

“None in profile” means SSURGO records no bedrock or other restrictive layer within the depth it describes, not that none exists.

Area of interest: a 4-mile radius around the USGS Geographic Names centre point for Clover (GNIS 2406283, 35.1116, -81.2203), chosen because five of this state's communities are unincorporated and have no boundary to use, and because the lots that need a septic permit are in the ring around a town rather than inside it. Soil from USDA-NRCS Soil Data Access, SSURGO interpretation “ENG - Septic Tank Absorption Fields”, area-weighted by mapped acreage and by each component's share of its map unit. Survey areas: Gaston County, North Carolina (2025-09-02), York County, South Carolina (2025-08-29). Retrieved 2026-09-18.

This is a survey, not an evaluation of your lot. The permit decision rests on the site evaluation SCDES carries out for the specific parcel.
