Old septic tanks out, a new one in, and the lawn seeded afterward: that is the job a recent customer described from Ciola Excavation LLC. The customer said the company collapsed two 70-year-old septic tanks, installed and plumbed a large tank tied into the existing distribution boxes and leaching fields, and then cleaned up, leveled and seeded the lawn. The same customer said Ken communicated throughout, including the permitting and approval process with Quinnipiac Valley Health, and called the price fair. The company lists Orange as its service area and says it has been in business 42 years. A recent customer called it a septic and excavation contractor working in southern Connecticut in a radius around Orange, and said it was careful about underground utilities even where as-builts did not clearly mark them. A recent customer in Orange said Ken replaced their septic system a couple of years back and that his rapport with the town made the permitting go off without a hitch. A recent customer with a major water drainage problem at their residence said one call did it all. A 2026 customer wrote that they had used the company for major excavation projects on two occasions over 25 years, first with Bill and now with son Ken, who has taken over the business leadership. A 2026 customer said they had used the company for over 30 years, from septic to some excavating to hauling snow. A 2026 customer praised the precision of the grading and the cleanliness of the job site. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0613842, as active, held by Ciola Excavation LLC.
Ciola Excavating collapsed two existing 70 year old septic tanks and installed and plumbed a large tank tying in the existing distribution boxes and leaching fields. Ken was an excellent communicator during the entire process including the permitting and approval process with Quinnipiac Valley Health. They provided a fair price and did an awesome job of cleaning up, leveling and seeding the lawn after the job was complete . I would highly recommend them for any escavating needs.
Terrific septic and excavation contractor working in southern Connecticut in a radius around Orange. They do outstanding work, being incredibly careful about underground utilities even when they aren't clearly delineated by as-builts. They are flexible, and capable of adapting to the circumstances at hand. And their work is super professionally completed, able to be scrutinized by even the most fastidious reviewer without any complaint being able to be found. Not to mention they're fees are the most competitive I've found. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.
Kenny and crew did an awesome job, I had a major water drainage problem at my residence, one call did it all. Great workmanship my wife and I are extremely happy with the job they did. Definitely a grade a company.
Ken replaced my septic system a couple years back at my home in Orange. The whole process went smoothly and Ken was professional, attentive and helpful throughout. Plus he has a good rapport with the town which made the permitting process go off without a hitch. Highly recommend.
Working with Ciola Excavation was an excellent experience from start to finish. They were professional, knowledgeable, and attentive, taking the time to explain the process and offer helpful recommendations. The crew was punctual, efficient, and kept the job site clean, delivering precise, high-quality work that exceeded expectations. Their communication stood out—they kept me informed throughout and handled any challenges smoothly. The final result was outstanding, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, skilled excavation services.
