Professional
We are licensed and insured in both Ohio and West Virginia, so a job on this side of the river is ordinary work for us rather than a trip out of area.

Septic Tank Pumping & Cleaning in Follansbee, WV
Follansbee is across the river and a short run north from Wellsburg, at the top end of Brooke County. We are licensed in West Virginia and we cover it.
The town itself is largely sewered. The septic work is back off Route 2 — up the runs and the hollows, where the houses sit on their own systems.

Brooke County Septic Work, North End
Properties back off the river road here tend to have older systems, often put in before anyone kept records of where the lid went. We open plenty of tanks whose owners inherited the house and never had a drawing of the system.
That is not a reason to leave it. A tank that is never emptied fills with sludge until solids start carrying out to the drainfield, and replacing a failed drainfield is an order of magnitude more expensive than a pump-out. Finding the lid is our problem, not yours.
We pump and clean residential and commercial tanks in Follansbee, look over the tank and baffles with the access open, and tell you what we find. Wellsburg and Weirton have their own pages if either is closer.

Septic Services in Follansbee
How it works
What We Do on a Follansbee Job
We work out where the access should be, confirm it by probing before any ground is broken, and uncover it by hand. Then the tank is emptied completely rather than skimmed.
The tank and its baffles get looked at while it is open — the only time anyone can — and then it is closed, backfilled and the turf put back.
Locally Trusted
Same trucks, same people, over a decade on both sides of the Ohio. You will get a straight answer about what the tank needs and what it does not.

FAQs
Follansbee and Brooke County Septic Questions
Are you licensed to work in West Virginia?
Yes. Wetherell is licensed and insured in Ohio and West Virginia. We are not licensed in Pennsylvania.
Nobody knows where our tank is. Can you still pump it?
Yes. Locating and uncovering a buried access is part of the job when it is needed. We narrow it down from the line leaving the house and the layout of the property, then probe to confirm before digging.
How often should a Follansbee tank be pumped?
Three to five years for most households, sooner for a full house, heavy water use or an undersized tank.
Do you take commercial work here?
Yes — residential and commercial both, including rental properties, where we can invoice the owner directly.
What hours can I reach you?
Mon–Fri 7 a.m.–9 p.m. Emergency calls outside those hours are based on availability and weather.
