In 1967 a corporation was formed and Lyttle & Barnes Sanitation became Stamie E. Lyttle Company.

Lyttle Utilities specializes in the installation and rehabilitation of water and wastewater systems. Together Stamie E.

We take pride in being water and wastewater professionals - right up to the sink faucet and tub! For plumbing repair, service, emergencies or upgrades, our courteous professionals will exceed your expectations. Septic system design is a natural part of what we do.

A good plumber keeps your plumbing out of sight and out of mind! We hope you have a good one, or in the case of you visiting this page, hope we can make that happen. We perform the full range of plumbing repairs and plumbing installations, from clearing clogged drains to hot water heater installation, water purification, bathroom and kitchen remodels and installation of new kitchens and baths. We want to educate and inspire the homeowner to know why water-saving appliances matter and what they can do to prolong the life of the whole-home plumbing system.

Stamie Lyttle has been cleaning and maintaining septic systems since the 1940's and we have learned what works and doesn't work. One of the tried and true things we have come to see over 65 years of doing this work is that a properly maintained system can last for decades. We installed systems in the 1940's where the homeowner has maintained the tank and drainfield that are still in service today! We maintain an entire fleet of pump trucks and a liquid hauling capacity of 20,000 gallons at any given time.

We offer grease trap cleaning and maintenance for interceptors and traps. Our team is prepared to work with your existing kitchen maintenance program to match timing Grease Trap Cleaning and Maintenance Grease Interceptors can be out of sight and out of mind - or they can be located in the middle of your drive-through, loading. Lyttle Utilities routinely performs the CCTV sewer video inspection for commercial and industrial clients throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. We do this work on underground sanitary and storm water pipes ranging in diameter from 3 to 24 inches.

When the toilet backs up, sink overflows, or tub won't drain, it means there is a blockage in the line. Most homeowners keep a plunger or small sewer snake available. When those tools won't do the trick, call us. We have a wide variety and size of drain cleaning equipment made specifically for the hard-to-unstop residential drain clogs and blockages. Ask about our camera and plumbing services as well - a drain blockage may simply be a symptom for a larger issue. These are the PVC (in most cases) pipes sticking out of your roof.
