Lot Clearing
We clear homesite lots up to about five acres for a new home, a mobile home or a septic field. Trees, brush, stumps and debris come off the build site and the drive.

Levelset2 installs commercial septic systems for jobs beyond a single house. That means small subdivisions of up to about 25 units. It also means churches and businesses off the sewer line. Our service area runs about 50 miles around Summerton, across Clarendon County and the counties near it.
For one new home, our page on septic system installation in Summerton covers the steps. For a church or business, state rules size the tank from the peak daily flow. The drain field size comes from that flow and the soil. We set the tanks and build the drain fields to the permit the state issues.

The state's septic rules carry a table of peak daily flow by use. A church with a kitchen counts 3 gallons a day per seat, or 2 without a kitchen. An office counts 15 gallons a day per employee on each shift.
Under 1,500 gallons a day, the tank must hold at least 1.5 times the peak flow. By that table, a 300-seat church with a kitchen and no day care comes to 900 gallons a day. Its tank must hold at least 1,350 gallons, in one tank or in tanks set in series.
The soil sets how much drain field that flow needs. Clay-rich soil takes more trench than sandy soil, so a big flow can need more than one field. Every new site also sets aside a repair area at least half the size of the system.
In Clarendon County's agricultural and single-family zones, a septic lot with public water needs 20,000 square feet or more. A lot on both septic and a private well needs 30,000 square feet or more. Where each home has its own system, each lot gets a soil evaluation and a layout before its permit. We install each system to that permit.
On a subdivision of 10 or more lots, the state does not do the soil evaluation or the layout itself. A professional soil classifier evaluates the lots. An engineer or that same soil classifier draws the layouts, and the state reviews them before it issues permits.
A shared system that serves lots with separate deeds is a community system under state rules. It needs an engineer's design, and the state must approve who owns and runs it. If the lots will hold manufactured homes, our page on mobile home septic systems covers the order of work.
The septic permit comes from the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services, formerly DHEC. Off the sewer line, the county will not issue a building permit until the state approves the septic. Where a sewer connection is available, the state will not permit a new septic system. The county or town decides whether sewer is available, so ask before you buy a site.
Past 1,500 gallons a day, the state calls it a large system. A professional engineer designs it. The site needs at least 36 inches of natural soil above the seasonal high water table. The first step is a pre-application meeting request in the state's online permit portal.
On Lake Marion sites, the tank and field must sit at least 75 feet from the lake's high-water line. A large system needs 100 feet. Every system gets a final inspection before it is covered. The state's onsite wastewater office in Sumter serves Clarendon County.

After the final inspection, we cover the system and shape the ground so rain runs off. The state then issues its approval to operate.
