Vance is acreage country between the lake towns, and nearly every rooftop in it runs on a well and a septic system. The steady work here is new systems under manufactured and modular homes, replacements behind houses from the 60s and 70s and the occasional rescue where a bargain-priced parcel turns out to be bargain-priced for a reason.
That last category is worth a sentence. Land around Vance is affordable, and buyers sometimes close on a parcel before anyone checks whether it will support a drainfield. Most parcels here take a conventional system without drama. The ones that sit low toward the branch bottoms may need a mound, and that difference is thousands of dollars. A soil evaluation before closing costs a few hundred and removes the surprise entirely.
Sequence the septic before the home delivery
Movers will not set a manufactured home until power and septic are ready, and septic is the long pole because the permit comes first. The clean sequence we run for Vance installs: soil evaluation, SCDES permit, tank and field set, inspection passed, then you book the movers. Owners who book the home delivery first end up paying storage on their own house.
Coverage around Vance
Around Vance the work comes from Highway 6 between Eutawville and Santee, the lake access roads, the acreage tracts off Old Number Six, covering ZIP 29163. If your parcel sits near those, we have almost certainly read soil within a mile of it.

Asked around Vance
I have not bought the land yet. Can you check it for septic first?
Yes, and we wish more buyers did. A pre-purchase soil check tells you whether the parcel takes a $6,000 conventional system or a $13,000 mound before you sign anything. Sellers rarely volunteer that difference.
What size system does a three bedroom doublewide need?
The state sizes systems by bedroom count, and a three bedroom home typically means a 1,000 gallon tank with a field sized to the soil's loading rate. Good sandy ground needs less trench; slower ground needs more. Same house, two different footprints, which is why the quote follows the soil evaluation.
The old house system was never registered. Is that a problem for replacing it?
No. Plenty of older county systems predate the paper trail. The replacement gets its own permit and its own record, and we handle the filing. The old tank gets pumped and properly abandoned so it is not a hazard sitting under the grass.
