What We Do in Sylvania

Septic & Well Work in Sylvania

Septic Tank Pumping & Cleaning in Sylvania

Most tanks around Sylvania Township need pumping every three to five years. When drains slow or the ground over the tank stays wet, that is the first thing we check on our US-23 and Central Avenue route. We pump the tank down, clean out the sludge and scum, and check the baffles before we leave.

Septic Inspections in Sylvania

When a property near Olander Park changes hands, the buyer usually wants the septic system checked in writing. We open the tank, load-test the field, and hand over a report the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department and any lender will accept.

Installs, Repairs & Replacements in Sylvania

Systems out along US-23 and Central Avenue eventually wear out. We handle the full job: repairing failed lines, replacing collapsed tanks, and engineering new systems sized to the lot. The Toledo-Lucas County Health Department permit and design work ride along with the job.

Drain Fields & System Maintenance in Sylvania

Ground near Ten Mile Creek decides how a drain field behaves, and catching a struggling field early beats replacing one. We clear and repair leach lines off US-23 and Central Avenue and keep tanks on a schedule so solids never reach the field.

Well Service & Pump Replacement in Sylvania

Plenty of homes around Sylvania Township draw water from private wells, and when pressure drops we test the pump, tank, and switch before replacing anything. We keep common pumps on the truck, so most calls out by Olander Park finish in one visit.

The Sylvania Area

The Sylvania Service Area

The city of Sylvania is on municipal sewer, but Sylvania Township around it is a different story. Plenty of homes out toward the Michigan state line and the rural stretches north and west of town run on private septic and wells. Those are the properties we look after.

We know the area from the older sections near downtown out to Ten Mile Creek, Olander Park, and the township fringe. On a city lot you likely will not need us for septic, but if you are on a well or a tank past the sewer line, give us a call.

On Our Route

Common Jobs Around Sylvania

What we get called for along US-23 and Central Avenue:

  • Pumping township tanks north of Central Avenue out toward the Michigan line, where sewer never reached.
  • Septic inspections for home sales in Sylvania Township, the paperwork side included for the closing.
  • Repairing older fields near Ten Mile Creek, where the old quarry-country shale changes how water moves.
  • Well service for the rural properties past Olander Park still on private water.
Lucas County Rules

Septic Permits in Sylvania & Lucas County

Routine pumping needs no permit off US-23 and Central Avenue, so most Sylvania calls are just a phone call. Permits enter the picture for new systems, replacements, and major repairs.

Those jobs run through the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3718: design approved first, permit issued, work finished within a year. On the lots we service along US-23 and Central Avenue, we handle the design and filing ourselves so a Sylvania owner is not chasing paperwork.

Lucas County also runs an income-based assistance program, worth asking about if a repair out Central Avenue way costs more than the budget expected.

Mastin Septic Services are top notch and one of the best in the county-at least in my opinion. I use them for my septic tank cleaning and had them add a riser during the last cleaning so there was no further need to dig up the yard to find the lid. Their service was professional and cost reasonable.

We have used Mastin Septic for all our needs in the past 8 years. They are reliable, friendly, and perform excellent work. They installed a new septic leach field back in 2018. We have had them back several times to pump our tank. We have always been extremely satisfied with their service.
