About Pelzer
Pelzer is an Anderson County town of 1,344 people, about 44 road miles and 66 minutes southwest of downtown Spartanburg on I-85, US-29 and SC-20. West Pelzer is just 0.8 mile west, with Williamston 2.1 miles southwest and Piedmont 4.2 miles north. For permits, SC DES's Anderson office covers the area. Call us for pumping, inspections and repairs in Pelzer.
Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are mostly Cecil, at four of five sample points, rated somewhat limited by NRCS for slow water movement and slope; one point is not rated. The Saluda River runs about 0.1 mile from the centre, and FEMA maps show a flood zone within about 0.3 mile. Some units map a water table at 33 inches. Generalized survey data only, not a property evaluation. Individual lots differ and need a site evaluation.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
Pelzer had 611 housing units in the 2020 Census. 2020-2024 ACS estimates show mostly single-family houses, though margins are wide for a town this size, so we leave out build years and ownership figures. Where the survey maps a shallow water table and a flood zone sits close, an inspection of the drain field tells you more than any map.
Pelzer questions
Do wet-weather problems matter near the Saluda River?
The Saluda River runs about 0.1 mile from Pelzer's centre and FEMA maps show a flood zone within about 0.3 mile of it. Wet, low ground near a flood zone can leave a drain field flooded, which is the general concern. We make no claim about your lot, but we can inspect the field if water stands.
Do you also serve West Pelzer and Williamston?
Yes. West Pelzer is 0.8 mile west of Pelzer and Williamston 2.1 miles southwest, and we serve both. They sit in Anderson County too, so the same SC DES Anderson office handles septic permits for each. Piedmont, 4.2 miles north, is also on our list.
