Septic System Site Prep & Excavation
Most septic systems in Mississippi require professional excavation that a septic installer alone cannot provide. Geaux Pro Outdoors handles the heavy earthwork — tank pit excavation, drain field trenching, and final grade restoration — while your licensed septic installer handles the plumbing and inspection. We coordinate directly with your installer so the site is excavated to their exact specifications before their crew arrives.
We excavate for new septic installations, system expansions, and full system replacements across Rankin, Hinds, Madison, and Yazoo counties. Our excavators can expose failed drain fields, remove and haul off failed material, and re-excavate to new specifications — restoring your system without destroying your yard any more than the repair requires.
Septic Excavation Services Include
- Septic tank pit excavation to installer-specified dimensions
- Drain field and leach line trench excavation
- Perc test site clearing and access excavation
- Failed drain field exposure and material removal
- Full system replacement re-excavation
- Backfill and finish grading after system installation
- Haul-off of excavated material when required
How Our Septic Excavation Process Works
- Coordinate with your septic installer — We contact your licensed installer directly to confirm tank size, drain field layout, depth requirements, and site access needs before we mobilize equipment.
- Call Mississippi 811 — We ensure all underground utilities are located and marked before any excavation begins. Never skip this step.
- Excavate to spec — Tank pit and drain field trenches are dug to installer specifications. We confirm dimensions on-site before we leave.
- Installer completes system — Your septic installer sets the tank, runs lines, and arranges inspection. We're available to return for any additional earthwork needed during installation.
- Backfill and grade — After the system passes inspection, we return to backfill the tank pit and trench, and restore final grade so your yard drains correctly away from the system.
