Verified record
Dalpe Excavation is a small, owner-operated excavation and Title V septic company run by Mark Dalpe, working Falmouth and the Upper Cape out of East Falmouth — site work, demolition, bobcat jobs and septic systems make up its work, per its own site. Its written record is thin and dated: two Google reviews, both from early 2020. One customer described the crew as professionals to deal with; the other recounted an easy scheduling process, an on-time arrival, and a driver who pumped out a septic tank and answered every question along the way. Google shows a 5-star average, though from just three ratings. The Better Business Bureau lists it as an excavating contractor with an A+ grade, and its BBB profile puts the company's incorporation at October 2006 — about 19 years, though the company's own site claims 15. More recently, local news coverage of a dog rescued from a sinkhole near Falmouth in spring 2026 credited Dalpe Excavation as one of the private partners who helped with the effort. The written reviews on file predate 2026 by several years, so it's worth asking about more recent work before booking. Its site names a Title V septic installer license, though that hasn't been checked against the state registry. For a straightforward excavation or septic job on the Upper Cape, the professionalism and on-time service described by past customers, backed by a clean BBB record, are the strongest signals here.

Great company to deal with, all the workers are professionals.
The people at Dalpe were great. It was easy to set up the appointment. They came on schedule and pumped out the tank. The driver was knowledgeable and answered all my questions. A fine job.
