When It Makes Sense to Convert From Septic to Sewer

If your drainfield failed and you're staring at a $20k+ replacement and a municipal sewer is right nearby, conversion is a cleaner and more lasting solution than more repairs. The same thing applies if the septic tank had repeated fixes, the tank is old, or parts started to fall out. Another reason could be a house where you're trying to add it and the current septic tank turns out to be undersized.

For some Upstate homeowners there is no choice but to connect. Some areas are mandated to hook up to city sewer once the main is installed (part of neighborhood sewer expansion).

Benefits of Connecting to the City Sewer System

Once you get your property hooked up to municipal sewage, you don't have to worry about your household waste system with a standard utility bill.

Here are some practical differences. Property owners don't need to worry about pumping it out or the drainfield after rains. No more interpreting the soggy patch in your lawn for potential groundwater contamination (outdated septic systems are a common source of that pollution). Instead of septic tank repair bills, you now pay a sewer fee.

For older properties this can be a lifesaver. A failing septic system has an unfortunate tendency to fail at the worst possible time, in particular during a sale when the potential buyer asks questions, inspectors poke around, and any uncertainty gets factored into the deal. That includes water quality concerns from failing drainfields.

In Upstate SC (and most places) where municipal sewer systems become available, this removes the burden of maintaining old septic tanks and drainfields. Once connected, your wastewater goes to a treatment plant instead of going back into the ground via your private drain field.

The Septic-to-Sewer Conversion Process

Our conversion projects have a straightforward workflow. 

Site inspection

We locate your existing septic tank and determine the best route for a new sewer connection. Site visits involve considerations like depth, distance, driveway, trees, existing utilities, etc. to give us a clear picture before we start any work.

Permits and approvals

Upstate sewer connections always require permits and involve DHEC approval when abandoning septic tanks. We handle all of that, i.e., coordination with the city, inspection scheduling, etc.

Excavation, sewer line installation, and abandonment of the septic tank

Once permits are in, we dig the trench and install a new sewer lateral that runs from the house to the connection and backfill it properly. There will be minimum disruption in your yard, and the landscaping will be restored once the process is complete, making sure it meets DHEC standards.

Final connection and inspection

We connect your house plumbing to the new sewer line, and nothing is closed out until the inspection is passed. After that, you get records of the completed septic-to-sewer conversion.
