"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."

"He did a great job, showed up when he said he was going to and jumped right into it. Checking to make sure he was chopping the right stuff and grinding down all the stumps. My yard looks great, couldn't have asked for it to go better."

"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!"

"They came out first to find the septic tank and then would have to come back with the pump truck to pump it. After utilizing the camera mechanism to locate the tank, we were advised that pumping wasn't really needed yet. They could easily have led us to believe it needed to be done, but they chose to be honest and save us the added cost. Honesty & integrity, i like that in a service provider!"

Septic Tanks FAQs, answered by experts

A septic system's lifespan typically ranges from 15 to 40 years, with a common average of 20 to 30 years. The longevity heavily depends on the tank's material, maintenance diligence, and usage habits. With proper care, lifespans can reach the upper end of this range.

Lifespan by Tank Material:

  • Concrete: 20 to 40 years

  • Plastic or Fiberglass: 30 to 40 years

  • Steel: 15 to 20 years

To maximize your system's lifespan, follow these maintenance best practices:

  • Regular Pumping and Inspections: Have the tank pumped every three to five years and schedule professional inspections regularly.

  • Mindful Usage: Only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid putting items like cat litter, paper towels, cigarette butts, fats, grease, oils, or coffee grounds down your drains.

  • Avoid Chemicals: Do not pour harsh chemicals into the system.

  • Water Conservation: Reduce the amount of wastewater your system has to process.

  • Protect the Drain Field: Avoid driving or building heavy structures over the drain field area.

Start by finding the septic tank, marked by an access lid near your home. From there, the drain field extends outward in a series of trenches. Look for greener, lusher grass, as drain fields promote plant growth due to moisture and fertilizer. You can also check property records, use a soil probe to detect damp soil, or hire a septic professional with ground-penetrating radar equipment to map the drain field’s location.

If you notice that your well pump runs continuously, it’s important to take action quickly to avoid further damage. A few common issues may be to blame for a continuously running well pump, such as mechanical damage, a faulty pressure control switch, low water level, prime loss, and leaking pipes and fixtures.

The costs depend on whether you are buying into an existing well or starting from scratch. The average well drilling cost is between $25 and $60 per foot. The average cost to repair a well is between $350 and $1500. If you have a shared agreement and a community association, there will be additional legal and administrative fees. 

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.
