York County presents unique infrastructure challenges: rural properties on wells and septic systems coexist with waterfront Lake Wylie estates on municipal water and sewer, while farmers need septic service for barns and homes, and families throughout Clover require reliable plumbing that understands South Carolina’s specific codes and soil conditions. When you need a company that handles both complex septic systems and modern plumbing—understanding the difference between servicing a farm in Bethel and a lakefront mansion in River Hills—you need Option One Plumbing, backed by an extraordinary 4.9-star rating across 1,469+ customer reviews and the comprehensive expertise that York County’s diverse properties demand.
From our headquarters on State Road S-46, we dispatch trucks across the York County panhandle, covering everything from Bethel to Newport. Whether you’re managing a Lake Wylie waterfront property where modern plumbing meets stringent environmental regulations, maintaining a rural farm near Kings Mountain with well water that needs filtration and septic systems that require regular pumping, or living in Clover, York, or Rock Hill where infrastructure varies block by block, we bring the dual septic and plumbing capability that makes Option One the first call for 1,469+ York County families—one company, one call, complete solution for water and waste.
Complete Water & Waste Solutions for York County
Option One Plumbing provides comprehensive septic and plumbing services throughout York County—from rural well and septic properties to municipal water and sewer systems:
- Septic Tank Pumping & Maintenance — Rural York County properties rely on septic systems, and regular pumping every 3-5 years prevents the drainfield failures that cost $15,000-$25,000 to replace. South Carolina’s red clay soil drains slowly compared to sandy coastal areas, making proper pumping schedules critical—overloaded systems fail faster in clay. We pump residential tanks, commercial systems, and multi-tank farm operations throughout York County, tracking service history and sending reminders when maintenance is due. We clean effluent filters during every visit, inspect baffles for damage, measure sludge levels accurately, and provide honest assessments of system condition. For properties near Lake Wylie where septic failures threaten water quality and trigger environmental violations, our maintenance prevents disasters.
- Well Water Filtration & Treatment — Most rural Clover, York, and outer Rock Hill properties draw water from private wells that tap aquifers beneath York County’s red clay and granite bedrock. While generally safe, this well water commonly contains iron staining (turning fixtures and laundry orange), hardness minerals that damage water heaters and appliances, and sediment that clogs fixtures. We install comprehensive water treatment systems: sediment filters to remove particles, iron removal systems to eliminate staining, water softeners to protect appliances from scale buildup, and whole-home filtration for families concerned about taste and purity. For farms with livestock and irrigation demands, we design high-capacity systems. This treatment protects your $1,000 water heater from premature failure, eliminates the frustration of orange stains, and delivers clean water throughout your property.
- Emergency Plumbing Service – 24/7 Response — Plumbing emergencies don’t respect business hours or property types. Burst pipes in Lake Wylie homes during winter freezes, well pump failures leaving farms without water, septic backups threatening health, water heater explosions—we provide true 24/7/365 emergency service throughout York County with rapid response and the expertise to handle both modern municipal plumbing and rural well/septic systems. Our technicians arrive prepared for York County’s infrastructure diversity: we understand the difference between troubleshooting municipal water pressure problems and diagnosing well pump failures, between clearing municipal sewer lines and servicing septic systems.
- Drain & Sewer Line Cleaning — Tree roots from York County’s abundant pines, oaks, and sweetgums infiltrate sewer and septic lines through joints and cracks, causing chronic slow drains and backups. We use professional cable augers for routine clogs and high-pressure hydro-jetting for stubborn root intrusions and grease accumulation. For rural properties with long runs of sewer line through wooded areas, root intrusion is inevitable—our thorough cleaning restores flow and prevents the complete line failures that require expensive excavation. We also offer video camera inspection to diagnose underlying problems: collapsed pipes, improper grading, or failing connections that cleaning alone can’t fix.
- Drainfield Repair & Replacement — When septic drainfields fail in York County’s red clay soil (soggy spots in yards, sewage odors, slow drains), replacement costs $15,000-$25,000—but often problems can be addressed through more affordable repairs. We diagnose failing drainfields accurately, recommend solutions based on actual conditions rather than worst-case scenarios, and handle complete replacements when necessary. We excavate through challenging red clay, install properly sized drainfield systems engineered for local soil conditions, obtain York County Environmental Health permits, and ensure code compliance throughout. For rural properties where drainfield failure threatens not just convenience but property value and environmental compliance, our expertise prevents disasters.
- Water Heater Installation & Repair — Whether you need a traditional tank heater serviced, want to upgrade to a tankless system for endless hot water, or require a commercial unit, we provide expert installation sized correctly for your demands. For rural properties on hard well water, we recommend anode rod replacement schedules and regular flushing to extend heater life—hard water accelerates mineral buildup that causes premature failure. We work on gas and electric models, handle proper venting, and ensure installations meet South Carolina codes.
- Well Pump Service & Repair — Rural York County properties depend on submersible or jet pumps to deliver water from wells to homes and barns. When pumps fail (from lightning strikes, electrical problems, or mechanical breakdown), properties have no water. We diagnose pump failures, replace burned-out motors, repair pressure tanks, fix electrical controls, and restore flow quickly. Our expertise with well systems—understanding the difference between shallow and deep wells, jet pumps and submersible pumps, pressure switch adjustments and tank sizing—sets us apart from plumbers who only work on municipal systems.
- Septic System Installation — New construction, failed system replacement, or farm expansion—we design and install septic systems engineered for York County’s red clay soil and environmental regulations. We handle soil evaluations, permit applications with York County Environmental Health, excavation, proper tank and drainfield installation, and final inspections. Our experience with local soil conditions means we design systems that perform reliably rather than fail prematurely—critical for properties where replacement costs exceed original installation by 3-5 times.
- Repiping & Water Line Repair — Older properties throughout Clover, York, and Rock Hill often have galvanized pipes that corrode from the inside, causing low pressure, discolored water, and pinhole leaks. We provide comprehensive repiping: replacing galvanized with modern PEX systems that resist corrosion and freeze damage. We also repair underground water service lines damaged by ground shifting or tree roots, handling excavation through York County’s challenging red clay soil.
- Gas Line Installation & Repair — Natural gas and propane service for appliances, water heaters, fireplaces, and farm operations requires licensed expertise. We install new gas lines, repair damaged lines, perform pressure testing, and respond to emergency gas leaks. Our gas work meets all South Carolina safety codes.
Serving Clover, Lake Wylie, and York
From our HQ on State Road S-46, we dispatch trucks across the York County panhandle, covering everything from Bethel to Newport. Whether you have a lake house in River Hills or Tega Cay where waterfront living meets modern plumbing demands, a farm near Kings Mountain with multiple septic systems serving barns and residences, a property in downtown Clover or York where infrastructure mixes well water with municipal sewer (or vice versa), or a home in Rock Hill where services range from full municipal to completely private systems, we bring the comprehensive expertise that York County’s infrastructure diversity demands.
We serve the waterfront communities along Lake Wylie where environmental regulations are strict and septic maintenance protects water quality, the rural properties throughout western York County where well water and septic systems are standard, the small towns of Clover and York where infrastructure varies property by property, the growing Rock Hill area where rapid development meets older systems, and the farms and country properties where agricultural operations create unique demands. We’re familiar with York County’s red clay soil that challenges both drainfield performance and excavation, the well water characteristics that require specific treatment approaches, the mix of South Carolina and North Carolina regulations near state borders, and the property types ranging from lakefront estates to working farms.
Our service area covers all of York County including Clover, Lake Wylie, York, Rock Hill, Tega Cay, Fort Mill, and the rural communities throughout the county.

Dual Capability: Septic + Plumbing = One Call Solution — York County’s infrastructure diversity means you need a company that handles both septic systems and plumbing, both well water and municipal water, both rural and suburban properties.

This comprehensive capability saves time, reduces stress, and ensures coordinated solutions rather than conflicting advice from multiple contractors.
Specialized Knowledge of South Carolina Codes & Rural Systems — South Carolina plumbing and septic codes differ from North Carolina (important near Lake Wylie where state lines create confusion). We’re licensed in South Carolina, understand York County Environmental Health regulations, know the specific requirements for Lake Wylie watershed properties, and have decades of experience with rural well and septic systems that many municipal-focused plumbers don’t understand. This specialized knowledge prevents code violations, ensures permits are handled correctly, and delivers solutions that work in York County’s specific conditions.
Understanding Red Clay Soil Challenges — York County’s red clay soil presents unique challenges: slow percolation for septic drainfields (requiring larger fields and proper maintenance), difficult excavation conditions (requiring proper equipment and experience), and water retention that affects underground line stability. We’ve worked in this soil for decades—we know what works, what fails, and how to design and maintain systems that perform reliably in York County’s conditions.
Well Water Treatment Expertise — We understand the specific characteristics of York County well water: iron staining from bedrock minerals, hardness from limestone deposits, sediment from clay particles, and occasional pH issues. We recommend treatment systems based on actual water testing and property demands—not generic solutions that don’t address your specific problems. For farms with high-volume demands or families with water quality concerns, this expertise delivers results that protect appliances and improve quality of life.
