Septic services in Phillipsburg, Ohio

Operators based within 12 miles of Phillipsburg

Listed by where the business is, not by who it says it serves. Every operator here was on the ODH 2026 sewage treatment system bond lists 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. An Ohio bond covers work in any health district in the state, though each district registers its contractors separately, so operators further out can work here too; these are simply the ones closest to you.

Soil and septic suitability around Phillipsburg

The USDA has already rated this ground for exactly one use: a septic tank absorption field. Within 4 miles of Phillipsburg — 32,040 acres across 67 soil map units — it rates 98.9% of the land very limited for that use and 0% 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 Phillipsburg the leading one is slow water movement on 98.2% of the mapped area, followed by depth to saturated zone on 95.4%. In full:

Limiting featureShare of areaWhat it means on site
Slow water movement98.2%Water moves through the soil too slowly for a drain field to keep up
Depth to saturated zone95.4%A seasonal water table sits too close to the surface
Ponding36.5%Water stands on the surface
Depth to bedrock3.8%Bedrock is too shallow to fit a trench above it
Flooding0.9%The site floods often enough to matter

Shares overlap: most soils here are limited for more than one reason at once, so these do not sum to 98.9%.

The soils themselves

The named soils and land types that make up most of the ground around Phillipsburg. Brookston alone accounts for 33% 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 Phillipsburg (GNIS 2399662, 39.9040, -84.4010), 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. Survey areas: Darke County, Ohio (2025-08-27), Miami County, Ohio (2025-09-02), Montgomery County, Ohio (2025-09-02). Retrieved 2026-09-18.

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