Services & Process

Septic services include tank pumping, system inspections, and troubleshooting drain field issues common to older installations in the area. Excavation services cover the digging required for new septic system installation, drain field replacement, and repair work that requires exposing buried components. Portable toilet rentals serve construction sites, outdoor gatherings, and temporary facilities during home renovations or remodeling projects. Combining excavation capability with septic expertise means the same crew can handle everything from digging to installation without subcontracting.

Service Area

Dykes serves Phenix City and the broader Russell County area in eastern Alabama. Given the company's excavation capabilities, they're also positioned to take on projects in nearby Lee County and communities close to the Columbus metro corridor. Customers on both sides of the Chattahoochee River region may find them a practical option.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does excavation have to do with septic system work?
Excavation is required any time a septic tank needs to be installed, replaced, or when a drain field has to be repaired or expanded. Having excavation equipment in-house means the provider can do the digging and the septic work without bringing in a separate contractor, which saves time and often reduces cost.
How long does a new septic system installation take in Phenix City?
A straightforward residential installation typically takes two to four days, depending on soil conditions and system size. In Russell County, where soil composition can vary, a percolation test is usually required before the county will issue a permit.
Does Dykes serve the Columbus, GA side of the river?
Dykes is based in Alabama and primarily focuses on Phenix City and surrounding Alabama communities. For work across the state line in Georgia, you'd want to confirm whether they hold the appropriate licensing for Georgia projects.
What permits are needed for a septic installation in Alabama?
Russell County's environmental health department handles septic permits, and a soil evaluation is required before installation can begin. Your provider should be familiar with the local permitting process and can often help coordinate the paperwork.
When do I need portable toilets for a construction project?
OSHA guidelines require sanitation facilities on construction sites once workers are present, and most general contractors build portable toilet rental into their project budget from day one. The number of units you need depends on your crew size and how long the project will run.
Can excavation damage my existing drain field?
It can if the dig location isn't properly planned ahead of time. A reputable provider will review your site layout and any system records before breaking ground to avoid cutting into existing pipes or disturbing healthy portions of the drain field.
