Cape Cod Septic Services

Cape Cod Septic Services is a septic-only contractor working out of 350 Main Street in West Yarmouth with a second yard at 100 Echo Road in Mashpee. The company describes itself as family-owned and says septic work is all it does — pumping, installs and repairs, Title V inspections and drain cleaning — for homeowners and commercial customers across the Cape. It was incorporated in April 2015 and its president of record is Christopher Maki. The Better Business Bureau grades it A+, though the company is not BBB accredited, and Google shows a 4.2 average across 37 ratings. What customers praise is consistent and specific, and much of it is about the same two people. Homeowners repeatedly name Amy in the office for picking up the phone and following through, and Hayden on the truck for finding buried tanks and working tight driveways. A homeowner in May 2026 with water pooling in the yard had someone out within hours, had roots cleared from a clogged line, and called the charge extremely reasonable. Pricing comes up often in their favour: a Chatham cottage-colony owner in October 2025 priced two tanks with three other firms and found this company several hundred dollars cheaper, and a 2023 customer who needed a distribution box replaced ahead of a house sale said the job came in thousands below a competitor's quote and was finished on schedule. The other half of the record is about follow-through, and it recurs across several years. One homeowner said the company did not finish the job and never answered calls, messages or email. Another, in June 2022, said crews never returned after November to grade and seed the yard or re-hang wires their machinery had pulled off the house, despite having been paid. A 2022 customer said three attempts to locate a septic cover instead punctured an irrigation main line in several places, and that the company declined to cover the repair. In May 2026 a caller reported four calls with no call-back and said the advertised round-the-clock availability did not hold that day. Two more recent complaints are about conduct rather than workmanship — a May 2025 customer described a hostile visit that ended with the technician leaving without pumping, and a July 2026 driver was reported for aggressive driving in a branded truck. This is a reasonable call for a routine pump-out, where the speed and pricing reports are strongest and most recent. For an install, a repair or anything with a second visit attached, get the scope, the return date and the restoration work in writing before you pay, and confirm what the emergency line actually covers.
