About septic in Smyrna
About Smyrna
Smyrna is a very small York County place, 55 people (2020 Census), about 30 miles east of downtown Spartanburg. The drive is about 57 minutes and 40.3 road miles using I-85, SC-5 and US-221. Blacksburg is 8.2 miles to the northwest. The Lancaster office of SC DES is the one that handles York County septic permits.
Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are mostly Georgeville, at 4 of 5 sampled points, with Cecil at the fifth. NRCS rates 2 of the 5 points very limited and 3 somewhat limited for absorption fields, mainly for slow water movement. Relief within a mile is about 128 feet, which is hilly. Guyonmoore Creek is about 0.2 mile off. These are generalized survey figures; individual lots differ, and only a site evaluation speaks to a specific property.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey.Homes here
The 2020 Census counted 35 housing units in Smyrna. A place this small gives American Community Survey estimates with margins so wide that we do not quote percentages for it. Households differ, so SC DES advises Smyrna owners to pump every 3 to 5 years, depending on tank size and use, and inspect every 1 to 2.
Smyrna questions
Do you drive out to a place as small as Smyrna?
Yes. Smyrna is about 40 road miles from downtown Spartanburg, and we serve it the same as the bigger towns, with pumping, inspections, repairs or drain field work as needed. Reach us at 864-680-2692 and tell us what you need looked at in Smyrna.
Does the creek near Smyrna change how a drain field is judged?
Guyonmoore Creek and Saltlick Branch both run about 0.2 mile from the town center on the OpenStreetMap data. FEMA shows no mapped flood zone within about a mile. Still, distance to a creek does not decide a drain field. Soil depth and a site evaluation do.
