Nestled along the Waccamaw River, Conway is one of South Carolina’s oldest towns, rich with Southern charm and history. Founded in the early 18th century, it once served as a vital river port and played an important role in the region’s lumber and naval industries. Today, Conway blends its historic roots with modern life—tree-lined streets, oak canopies draped in Spanish moss, and a revitalized downtown filled with shops, cafés, and local art. With Coastal Carolina University nearby and Myrtle Beach just a short drive away, Conway offers the perfect mix of small-town tranquility and convenient access to the coast.
Conway is the oldest city in Horry County, with a National Register Historic District that includes homes dating back to the mid-1800s. From Greek Revival and Victorian-era homes to Craftsman bungalows and post-war cottages, the range of construction across Conway spans more than a century.
These older homes were built with cast iron drain lines and galvanized steel supply pipes that have a limited lifespan, especially in our humid climate. If you own a home in Conway’s historic neighborhoods and you’re experiencing low water pressure, discolored water, or frequent drain backups, the piping itself may be due for replacement.
Hunter Plumbing Services has hands-on experience with the types of plumbing systems found in Conway’s older homes. We know how to work within historic structures without unnecessary disruption and we’ll give you a straight answer on what needs to be done
Conway sits along the Waccamaw River, and residents know firsthand what flooding can do. During Hurricane Florence in 2018, the river crested over 21 feet and hundreds of homes were damaged. Flooding events like these put enormous stress on residential plumbing systems, sewer connections, and septic systems throughout the area.
Backflow prevention valves, sewer line inspections, and post-flood plumbing assessments are critical for Conway homeowners, especially those in flood-prone zones near the river. Protecting your home before the next storm is always more cost-effective than dealing with the damage after.
Hunter Plumbing Services helps Conway homeowners prepare their plumbing systems for the realities of living along the Waccamaw. If you haven’t had your sewer line inspected or don’t have a backflow valve installed, it’s worth a conversation.
