Wintersville sits a few minutes west of Steubenville on the Route 22 corridor, and it is one of the shorter runs we make out of Mingo Junction.
Streets in the village are largely on the sewer. Go out past them — along the county roads, on the lots carved off former farm ground — and you are back on septic, and those tanks are ours to empty.

The pattern here is a house built on a parcel too far from the main to be worth connecting, with a tank that was put in when the house was and has been out of mind ever since. It works quietly for years, which is exactly why it gets forgotten.
What ends the quiet is the sludge layer. Once it is deep enough that solids start travelling out with the liquid, they go to the drainfield, and the drainfield is the part you cannot pump out and cannot cheaply replace. Emptying the tank on a schedule is the whole of the prevention.
We pump and clean tanks for Wintersville homeowners, landlords and small businesses, and we can look at the tank and its baffles while we have it open. Steubenville has its own page, and so does Toronto up the river.
What we do
How it works
We find the access and open it, then empty the tank of the settled sludge as well as the liquid above it. Skimming the top is quicker and it is why some tanks need doing again inside a year; we take the lot out.
With it open we look at the condition of the tank and the baffles, close it back up, and put the ground back. If we saw something you should know about, you hear it before we drive off.

The number on the truck reaches someone local. The price we quote is the price you pay, and the person who turns up is the person you spoke to.
If nobody at the property can tell you when the tank was last emptied, that is answer enough — it is due.
Call or text and we will tell you the next slot we honestly have.
FAQs
Wherever the septic system is. Most of the tanks we service around Wintersville are on the outer roads, since the village streets are generally sewered, but if you are on septic inside the limits we will come to you.
Every three to five years suits most households. Move toward two or three if there are a lot of people in the house, a garbage disposal in daily use, or a tank that was small for the property when it went in.
Yes, and it is a common ask. We work from the line leaving the house and the layout of the lot, probe to confirm, then dig out the access by hand rather than running a machine across your yard.
Yes, and we can bill you rather than the tenant. If you own more than one property in the area we will usually do them on the same trip.
Mon–Fri 7 a.m.–9 p.m. Emergency work outside those hours is based on availability and on the weather.
