Mingo Junction, OH
Mingo Junction is where Wetherell Enterprises is based. It is on the truck doors, and it is where every job we run in the Ohio Valley starts from.
That makes it the shortest trip we make. If you are in Mingo Junction and need a septic tank pumped, cleaned or dug out, you are about as close to us as anyone gets.
Plenty of companies will tell you they serve Mingo Junction. We are from here. The trucks are lettered Mingo Jct., OH, and they have been going out of here since 2012.
Properties just outside the village run on their own septic systems rather than a sewer line, and those tanks need emptying on a schedule. Let one go too far past it and you get a backup in the house or wastewater surfacing in the yard — both avoidable, both a lot more expensive than a pump-out.
We empty residential and commercial tanks properly: sludge and liquid both, using vacuum trucks. If the access lid vanished under the grass years ago, we find it and dig it out before we start.
How it works
Every job runs the same way, whether it is a routine empty or a tank that has backed up: locate the access, open it safely, pump the tank out completely, look over the condition of the tank and its baffles, then close it back up and leave the ground as we found it.
You will be told what we find. If something needs watching before the next visit, we will say so rather than leave you to discover it later.
We use vacuum trucks and proper access tools rather than shortcuts. The tank is emptied of both sludge and liquid, not skimmed, which is the difference between a tank that lasts until the next service and one that backs up in a few months.
Being based here means we are not passing through. Mingo Junction, Steubenville and Wintersville customers have used us for over a decade, the number reaches a local person, and the same people turn up each time.
If it has been three years or more since your tank was last emptied, or drains have started running slow, it is worth booking before it becomes an emergency.
Call or text and we will give you the next available slot.
FAQs
Every 3-5 years suits most households. A larger family, a garbage disposal in daily use, or a tank on the small side will push that closer to every 2-3 years.
This is where we are based, so it is the shortest run we make. That does not mean we can always be there within the hour — it depends what else is booked — but you are at the front of the queue on distance.
No. Locating and uncovering a buried lid is part of the job. We find it, dig it out carefully and backfill afterwards.
