Small plumbing repairs on the septic side of your home

Honey Dippers handles small plumbing repairs on the septic side of a home. A drain backs up, or a leak shows up where the line leaves the house. We take plumbing repair calls around Roderfield and the surrounding counties.

In a house on septic, every drain empties into the tank, so a plumbing problem can start there. If a full tank is slowing the drains, septic tank pumping is the fix. A broken or root-filled line is septic line repair work. Call or text (304) 436-3409 and describe what you see.

Is it a plumbing repair or a septic problem?

The EPA lists the signs of septic trouble. Tubs and sinks drain very slowly, or the plumbing gurgles. Sewage may back up through the toilets and drains.

When only one sink is slow, the clog is often in that sink's own drain. When every drain in the house runs slow, the trouble is more likely in the line or the tank. Sewage coming up into the house is a call for our emergency septic service.

A leak on the septic side shows up where the drain line leaves the house. Look for a damp spot or a sewage smell near the foundation on that side. That is the kind of small plumbing repair to call us about.

What to tell us when you call about a plumbing repair

A few details on the call tell us whether the job is ours. Say whether one drain acts up or every drain in the house. Say where the water shows up, inside the house or out in the yard.

A rough idea of when the tank was last pumped helps too. Say whether you can find the tank lid. Older tanks may sit with the lid buried, and septic tank locating and digging finds it.

Mention anything that changed before the trouble started. From there, we say whether it is a small repair we take or a job for a plumbing company. When it is ours, we look at the job and put the quote in writing.

Plumbing repairs around Roderfield and the southern coalfields

Roderfield sits on US-52 along the Tug Fork, at the center of the areas we cover. We take plumbing repairs at homes across McDowell, Wyoming, Mingo, Mercer and Logan Counties. We try to stay within about an hour and a half of Roderfield.

The Mercer County Health Department tells homeowners to keep roof drains and sump pumps away from the septic system. A downspout tied into the house drain sends rainwater straight to the tank. If one runs into your line, mention it when you call.

Permit rules depend on where the house sits. Inside Bluefield's city limits, the city says most jobs need a building permit. The city puts getting it on the property owner. For work on the septic system itself, ask the county health department whether a permit applies.

FAQ

Plumbing Repairs Questions, Answered

Common questions about plumbing repairs around Roderfield and the surrounding counties. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (304) 436-3409

Do you take every kind of plumbing job?
We take small plumbing repairs around a home's septic system. Whole-house repiping, water heaters, gas lines, remodels and new construction plumbing go to a plumbing company. Describe the problem on the call, and we tell you whether it is one we take.
How much does a plumbing repair cost?
The price depends on what failed and how hard it is to reach. A leak near the house is a smaller job than a line buried deep in the yard. If the tank needs pumping or the lid needs digging out, that goes into the quote too. Tell us about the job, and we put the quote in writing.
Why do I smell sewage inside the house?
The EPA says a sewage smell can come from the roof vent, which is a normal part of the system. Leaves can clog a vent, and a long cold spell can freeze it. Either one can cause a smell inside the house. Call or text (304) 436-3409 and tell us where you notice it.
Is a chemical drain opener safe for a septic system?
EPA guidance says to avoid chemical drain openers on a septic system. It points to boiling water or a drain snake instead. Harsh chemicals can kill the bacteria that break down waste in the tank. If the drain stays slow, call or text and describe it.
Can kitchen grease hurt a septic system?
Yes. The EPA lists cooking grease and oil among the things that can clog a septic system. The Mercer County Health Department warns that grease and garbage disposals can lead to early system failure. If the kitchen sink backs up, tell us what went down it when you call.
Can a leaky toilet hurt my septic system?
It can. The EPA says one leaky or running toilet can add as much as 200 gallons of water a day. In a house on septic, all of that water lands in the tank. Too much water can push solids into the drain field and clog its pipes.
