"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."

"Tony and his crew installed a drainage system in my backyard. They showed up on time and did what they said they would do leaving my yard clean and seeded. Tony even salvaged some granite and we repurposed it as a stepping stone walkway at no extra charge. I have no complaints. I have not had a chance to see how the drainage system works yet but will alter my review if necessary. As of now I would recommend White Rock to anyone who asks who did my work."

"I just pay $75 you never know who's going to come out. They do everything electrical. Just about everything is covered except the septic tank. I had an air conditioner replaced. It went great, all I had to do was pay for the freon. He didn't charge e more than what was needed."

"I called at 8pm on Friday he was here 7:30am Saturday morning. We moved in and found out our well was no good and that we needed a new septic system. Plus some work inside that we knew about. We called a few places just to get prices because a lot of companies try to take advantage of people our age and when I tell you he showed up gave a price a lot less than what the other companies gave and told us what needed to be done not what he wanted to do unlike the other places. I would highly recommend him and his crew I already have a few of my neighbors loved the guys and came and asked for there number good luck Christopher with your company and thank you from the bottom of my heart"

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Kittery, ME

Most septic system replacements require several days to complete, not including permitting and preparation time. The process begins with site assessment and testing, followed by excavation, component installation, and final inspection. Weather conditions, property accessibility, and inspection schedules can all affect your project timeline. Your contractor can provide a more specific estimate based on your property's unique characteristics.

Standard homeowners' insurance policies don't cover septic system replacement due to age or normal deterioration. Coverage may apply if damage results from specific covered events, but routine maintenance and eventual replacement are generally considered homeowner responsibilities. Review your policy details or speak with your insurance agent to understand your specific coverage limitations.

Look for multiple indicators such as slow-draining fixtures, unusual gurgling sounds in plumbing, sewage odors inside or outside your home, or wet spots in your yard. Unusually lush grass over the drain field area, frequent backups, or recurring repair needs might signal system failure. Addressing these warning signs promptly can prevent property damage and health hazards.

DIY septic installation is not recommended and may violate local regulations. Professional installation ensures compliance with health codes, proper design for your specific site conditions, and appropriate safety measures. The specialized equipment, technical knowledge, and permitting requirements make this a job best left to licensed professionals who can guarantee the system's safety and effectiveness.

With proper maintenance, including regular pumping, a drain field lasts 20 years. Various factors influence system longevity, including household size, water usage patterns, and soil conditions. Regular professional inspections can help determine when replacement becomes necessary. If your system requires increasingly frequent repairs, replacement might be more economical than continuing to address individual problems.
