Septic services in Mitchellville, Tennessee

Operators based within 12 miles of Mitchellville

Listed by where the business is, not by who it says it serves. Every operator here holds a current state permit, and the address it is placed by comes from the state's own published list — so this is a checkable claim rather than a service-area promise. A Tennessee installer permit is valid statewide, so operators further out can work here too; these are simply the ones closest to you.

Soil and septic suitability around Mitchellville

The USDA has already rated this ground for exactly one use: a septic tank absorption field. Within 4 miles of Mitchellville — 32,016 acres across 77 soil map units — it rates 34.9% of the land very limited for that use and 63.4% 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 Mitchellville the leading one is depth to saturated zone on 24.3% of the mapped area, followed by slow water movement on 11.4%. In full:

Limiting featureShare of areaWhat it means on site
Depth to saturated zone24.3%A seasonal water table sits too close to the surface
Slow water movement11.4%Water moves through the soil too slowly for a drain field to keep up
Slope8.3%The ground is too steep for a conventional field
Flooding7.1%The site floods often enough to matter
Ponding4.1%Water stands on the surface

Shares overlap: most soils here are limited for more than one reason at once, so these do not sum to 98.3%.

The soils themselves

The named soils and land types that make up most of the ground around Mitchellville. Bewleyville alone accounts for 25.2% 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 Mitchellville (GNIS 1306760, 36.6320, -86.5408), 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: Simpson County, Kentucky (2025-09-08), Robertson County, Tennessee (2025-08-29), Sumner County, Tennessee (2025-08-29). Retrieved 2026-09-09.

This is a survey, not a soil map for your lot. A permit needs a high-intensity map of the specific parcel, produced by a TDEC-approved soil consultant — see soil map vs perc test.
