Summer and winter — year-round
Most competitors stop in winter. We don't.
John W. McCarty built his portable sanitation business first, then added septic cleaning because his customers needed it. Same truck. Same Honey Dipper. Forty years later, that's still how we operate — one family, one team, one standard.
We cover all of North Central West Virginia — Weston, Clarksburg, Buckhannon, Fairmont, Grafton, Elkins, and Glenville. No job too big, no job too small. Just call and ask for The Original Honey Dipper.
