"I want to first say that i am not the type of person who often writes reviews, guilty to say even for good experiences. I could not do that for this experience i had with Kacena Site Work. This summer (2023) I unfortunately had my septic system fail. If you were like me and instantly hit Google looking for "the best septic system install near me" and began reading reviews. I will literally save you multiple hours searching and multiple call backs for quotes. I have a family of 5 and to be without the use of the bathrooms and laundry would have been borderline a post apocalyptic scene. I submitted requests on a few of the companies that came up as well as Angi. Darryl was the first who called me, also in less than an hour from submitting a quote request. He came over that night after working another job to take a look and then go over the process. I would run out of space writing about everything throughout this process from start to finish so I will basically hit what it is important, at least what was to me. Darryl was beyond transparent with his pricing, the price he quoted was the price. Regardless of what happened there would be no "unexpected price increases for complications etc". He was sympathetic to the impact to my family with this crappy situation and though he had other active jobs, made mine a priority as well. He made the entire process stress free and overly communicated every step, dates and times when the engineer was coming, equipment arriving, materials being delivered, hours and days of work to be accomplished, inspections and was accommodating to any conflicts on our end during that time line. His work was beyond top notch and fast. My neighbors came down after it was completed and wanted to know who I hired because they couldn't believe how quick that was done from when they saw a giant mound of dirt and a hole in my yard, to hydoseed being sprayed. I cannot express how unbelievably happy with deciding to use Kacena Site Work. My only experience was for a septic replacement, but he obviously does a lot more. I will not ever consider using anyone else for any outside site work other than Darryl and I have only been recommending him to friends and family. If you need work done that is within his scope, you will not get a better product, nor simplified, financially fair experience going with anyone else. Thank you again Darryl and I look forward to the next project of leveling out my property."

"Absolutely unbelievable service. They dropped what they were doing on a Saturday night to come out and fix our septic issue. They explained the issue and fix very clearly. Left the property looking great considering they had to dig into the septic tank. The responders were very friendly and took time to engage in conversation while still achieving their work in a very timely fashion. Not that I know much of the septic business, but the men seemed knowledgeable of their profession and again took time to explain the issue and fix in terms someone as myself could understand. They've definitely been added to our list of businesses for future contact!"

"Came when they said they would. Did the job efficiently and thoroughly, explained the probable cause and how to avoid it. Quote was half the amount the other service I contacted quoted as thier base fee ($170 vs $345) and that is what they charged."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The pressure in a well pressure tank should be set 2 to 3 PSI below the pump's cut-on pressure. The cut-on pressure is the lower number in the pressure setting (e.g., the '30' in 30/50 PSI) and is the point at which the pump starts. The cut-out pressure is the higher number, where the pump stops.

For example:

  • If your pressure switch is set to 30/50 PSI, the tank pressure should be 27-28 PSI.

  • If your pressure switch is set to 40/60 PSI, the tank pressure should be 38 PSI.

Common pressure settings for household applications include 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60 PSI. The difference between the cut-on and cut-out pressure is typically 20 PSI.

The easiest thing you can do to prolong the life of your septic system is to adopt septic-safe practices. This includes not flushing non-biodegradable items, chemicals, or excessive grease down drains and scheduling regular septic tank pumping to prevent buildup. It’s also important to fix plumbing leaks promptly and to practice water conservation to avoid overloading the system. To maintain your drain field, avoid heavy vehicle traffic and plant shallow-rooted vegetation in the area. Most importantly, invest in routine inspections and maintenance to detect and address issues early.

There are three layers of wastewater in a septic tank: scum (solid waste that floats to the top of the wastewater), liquid (the relatively clean liquid wastewater in between the two other layers), and sludge (solid waste that falls to the bottom of the wastewater). The buildup of sludge is one of the main reasons septic tanks need to be pumped. If the tank is more than 1/3 of the way full with a combination of sludge and scum, it’s time to call a pro for pumping.

Depending on the size and location of your septic tank repair job, you may want to let the septic pros finish before tackling other backyard work. However, in some cases, it’s not a bad idea to coordinate between your providers if the timing’s right and your septic repair pro says it’s safe to do so. For instance, if the septic repair work is happening in the fall, you might want to take advantage of the opportunity to prepare your backyard landscaping for winter , or in spring, start mulching the garden beds.

The size of your water well pressure tank is limited only by your budget and the amount of space you have to use. Larger tanks can hold more water, meaning your well pump will need to cycle less often. This can extend the life of both the pressure tank and your well pump. Larger tanks cost more and take up more room, though.
