Septic services in Centerville, South Carolina

Operators based within 12 miles of Centerville

Listed by where the business is, not by who it says it serves. Every operator here was on the SCDES Onsite Wastewater Contractors list on the date its record shows, and the address it is placed by comes from that same list, so this is a checkable claim rather than a service-area promise. A South Carolina licence is issued by the state, not by a county, so operators further out can work here too; these are simply the ones closest to you.

Soil and septic suitability around Centerville

The USDA has already rated this ground for exactly one use: a septic tank absorption field. Within 4 miles of Centerville — 32,001 acres across 33 soil map units — it rates 26.4% of the land very limited for that use and 66% somewhat limited, and almost none with no limitation at all.

What the limitation actually is

A rating on its own tells you nothing you can act on. The reasons do, and around Centerville the leading one is slope on 15% of the mapped area, followed by slow water movement on 11.8%. In full:

Limiting featureShare of areaWhat it means on site
Slope15%The ground is too steep for a conventional field
Slow water movement11.8%Water moves through the soil too slowly for a drain field to keep up
Depth to saturated zone8.5%A seasonal water table sits too close to the surface
Flooding3.6%The site floods often enough to matter
Depth to cemented pan2.7%A cemented pan sits too close to the surface

Shares overlap: most soils here are limited for more than one reason at once, so these do not sum to 92.4%.

The soils themselves

The named soils and land types that make up most of the ground around Centerville. Cecil alone accounts for 40.4% of it.

“None in profile” means SSURGO records no bedrock or other restrictive layer within the depth it describes, not that none exists.

Area of interest: a 4-mile radius around the USGS Geographic Names centre point for Centerville (GNIS 2402755, 34.5283, -82.7167), chosen because five of this state's communities are unincorporated and have no boundary to use, and because the lots that need a septic permit are in the ring around a town rather than inside it. Soil from USDA-NRCS Soil Data Access, SSURGO interpretation “ENG - Septic Tank Absorption Fields”, area-weighted by mapped acreage and by each component's share of its map unit.

This is a survey, not an evaluation of your lot. The permit decision rests on the site evaluation SCDES carries out for the specific parcel.
