Septic Line Repair
We dig up broken, crushed, separated or root-filled septic lines and fix them. That covers the line from the house to the tank and the line out of it.

Downtown Pineville drains to a public sewer, but many homes in the hollows around town do not. Those houses most likely run on a septic tank, often on a steep hillside lot. A full tank can show up as a slow tub or a gurgle in the pipes. Left alone, it can back sewage up into the house.
Honey Dippers handles septic tank pumping in Pineville and across Wyoming County, where most of our work comes from. Pineville is part of our service area, which centers on Roderfield, about 27 road miles away. We pump tanks for homes and businesses and dig down to lids that are buried. Call or text (304) 436-3409 and tell us what the drains are doing.
Tell us about the septic tank, line or grease trap and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
Inside the town limits, nearly every address sits in the Center Public Service District's sewer area on the state map. The district runs the sewer lines in town and a treatment plant near Mullensville.
Past the town limits, sewer gets scarce. Within two miles of town, the same map puts about two homes in three outside any sewer area. Those homes very likely run on a septic tank of their own.
Businesses that cook for the public have a pumping job of their own. The county health department says grease-laden drains in places like restaurants and school kitchens must run through a grease trap. We pump those traps through our grease trap cleaning service.
Census estimates say the typical house in town was built in 1955. Across the wider 24874 ZIP code, the typical home dates from 1972. Close to one in four is a mobile home. Lots just outside town run about half an acre, more than twice the size of lots in town.
The ground is the hard part. The federal soil survey rates more than half the ground under homes near town as very limited for drain fields. Slope and seepage are the reasons it gives most often. The most common soil there even carries the town's name: the Pineville soils, on steep coves and footslopes.
On ground this steep, a tank often sits on a small flat spot, and its lid can end up buried. Our septic tank locating and digging service finds the tank and digs down to the lid. State design rules want the line to the tank to fall at least an eighth of an inch per foot. When a line sags or breaks, our septic line repair work starts with digging down to it.
Pineville is the Wyoming County seat, a town of 645 people at the 2020 Census. It is home to the 1916 stone courthouse and the Wyoming County Health Department. In West Virginia, septic permits come from the county health department.
A new system, or a repair to a failing one, starts with a certified septic installer. The installer runs a perc test, and a sanitarian visits the site before the health department issues a construction permit. That work stays with the installer. We pump tanks and repair the lines into and out of them.
The county may also have your system on file. The state's permit form records the tank's size and a sketch of where it sits. Ask about that sketch, and ask whether your repair needs a permit, before anyone digs. West Virginia law says anyone who digs calls 811 at least two working days ahead.
Pineville sits where Rockcastle Creek runs into the Guyandotte River, and both can flood. The state's flood tool counts about 130 buildings in town inside the high-risk flood zone, most along those two streams. Wyoming County was part of the federal disaster declared after the February 2025 floods.
Flooding changes when a tank should be pumped. The EPA says not to pump a tank while the drain field is flooded or soaked. Pumping then can make the tank try to float out of the ground. Once the ground drains, the EPA says to pump soon, because flood water can leave silt in the tank.
If sewage comes back up a drain after a storm, stop running water and call or text us. Our emergency septic service page covers the first steps.

No locating or tracing equipment. We dig up the sewer line where it leaves the house and follow it out to the tank, then dig down to the lid. From there the tank can be pumped or the line repaired, and we close the hole back.
