Septic services in Venedocia, Ohio

Operators based within 12 miles of Venedocia

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 Venedocia

The USDA has already rated this ground for exactly one use: a septic tank absorption field. Within 4 miles of Venedocia — 32,046 acres across 49 soil map units — it rates 99.7% 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 Venedocia the leading one is depth to saturated zone on 99.6% of the mapped area, followed by slow water movement on 99.1%. In full:

Limiting featureShare of areaWhat it means on site
Depth to saturated zone99.6%A seasonal water table sits too close to the surface
Slow water movement99.1%Water moves through the soil too slowly for a drain field to keep up
Ponding57.6%Water stands on the surface
Flooding3.5%The site floods often enough to matter
Seepage, bottom layer0.2%The layer beneath the trench is porous enough that effluent could reach groundwater without being filtered

Shares overlap: most soils here are limited for more than one reason at once, so these do not sum to 99.7%.

The soils themselves

The named soils and land types that make up most of the ground around Venedocia. Pewamo alone accounts for 46.2% 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 Venedocia (GNIS 2400052, 40.7850, -84.4559), 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: Allen County, Ohio (2025-08-27), Mercer County, Ohio (2025-09-02), Van Wert County, Ohio (2025-09-08). 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.
