Septic Service in Cedar Creek, NC
Cedar Creek is a rural community along the Cape Fear River, outside Fayetteville’s city limits. Homes out here often have their own septic system. Here’s what to know.
Country homes, private systems
Cedar Creek is outside the city, and many properties here sit on larger rural lots. Homes that aren’t tied into a sewer line depend on their own septic tank and drain field, which makes regular pumping and a healthy drain field the homeowner’s job.
Not sure which you have? Look for a sewer charge on your utility bill, or a tank lid or cleanout in the yard. No sewer charge usually means septic.
Next to the Cape Fear
During Hurricane Florence in September 2018, the Cape Fear River ran about 50 feet above normal at Cedar Creek, spreading at least a quarter mile past its banks. When the ground is flooded, a drain field can’t absorb anything. Use as little water as possible until the water drops, and have the system checked once things dry out.

Cedar Creek septic questions
Who issues septic permits here?
Cumberland County’s Department of Public Health, Environmental Health section, at 1235 Ramsey Street in Fayetteville. It does the soil evaluations and issues septic permits, including repair permits for failing systems. Call (910) 433-3600.
Should I pump my tank right after a flood?
Not while the ground is still flooded. An empty tank in saturated soil can shift or float. Wait until the water goes down, then have the tank pumped and the system checked, especially if drains are slow or the tank was underwater.
