Where we work
Towns near Lynchburg
Lynchburg
Most Lynchburg addresses are on city sewer, but some homes inside and just outside the city limits still run on septic tanks. Dunn Rite is based in Lynchburg and works on those tanks and fields: pumping, repairs and replacements.
Campbell County
Most of Campbell County outside Altavista and Brookneal runs on a septic tank and a private well. Dunn Rite works on those tanks and fields from Lynchburg: pumping, repairs, location and new installs.
Amherst County
Public sewer in Amherst County stops short of most of the land area. Dunn Rite works on septic systems for homes beyond the Service Authority and town lines: pumping, locating, repairs and installs.
Bedford County
Bedford County is the one county in our area with a mandatory pump-out rule. If your home is within 500 feet of Smith Mountain Lake or Leesville Lake, the tank must be pumped at least every five years.
Appomattox County
Outside the town sewer system, every Appomattox County home needs its own tank and drain field, and the soils here can make that field hard to get right.
Nelson County
Nelson County is in a different health district from Lynchburg, and most of its land is mountain or river bottom with septic and wells. Dunn Rite works on tanks and fields in the parts of the county we can reach.
Buckingham County
Buckingham County is in the Piedmont Health District, and almost every home outside Dillwyn and a few commercial crossroads has a septic system. Dunn Rite pumps and repairs them and installs new ones.
Septic installations up to 120 miles
Past the 40-mile service range we install new systems. Call with your address to find out whether it is in reach.
Roanoke Valley and Franklin County
Roanoke sits inside our 120-mile installation range, but the permit comes from a different health district than ours, so the first call goes to the office for your county. Dunn Rite installs and replaces tanks, fields, boxes and risers once that permit exists.
Septic installation hereCharlottesville Area
Permits in Albemarle, Fluvanna, Louisa, Greene and Nelson counties all run through the Blue Ridge Health District, and Charlottesville is inside our 120-mile installation range. Dunn Rite installs tanks, fields, boxes and risers once that permit exists.
Septic installation hereSouthside and Danville
Pittsylvania and Halifax counties are served by separate health department offices, so the right call depends on your address. Danville and the Southside are inside our 120-mile installation range for tanks, fields, boxes and risers.
Septic installation hereFarmville and Prince Edward County
The Piedmont Health District issues the permit in Prince Edward County, and it has its own review for homes being replaced or enlarged. Installs there fall inside our 120-mile range, and Dunn Rite builds once the permit is issued.
