## The honest read

Dalpe Excavation is a small, owner-operated excavation and Title V septic company based in East Falmouth, serving Falmouth and the Upper Cape Cod area. Owner Mark Dalpe personally oversees jobs, and the company's own site says it has been operating for over 15 years, while its Better Business Bureau file records 19 years in business since incorporating in 2006.

The work centers on Title V septic system installation and repair, alongside general excavation site work: demolition, drainage, foundation excavation, underground utilities, lot clearing, grading and bobcat services.

Customers who left Google reviews were consistently positive. In a January 2020 review, a homeowner described an easy scheduling process, an on-time crew, and a knowledgeable driver who answered every question during a septic tank pump-out, calling it "a fine job." A second, shorter Google review from March 2020 called the crew professional and easy to deal with. Google's own rating for the business is 5 stars from 3 ratings. The company also carries a Better Business Bureau A+ rating with no recorded complaints, though it is not seeking accreditation.

Only two detailed reviews are on file, and both are from 2020, so it is worth confirming current pricing, scheduling and crew availability directly before booking. The company states on its own site that it holds a Title V septic installer license, but that claim has not been checked against the state registry.

This reads as a small, hands-on excavation and septic outfit with a clean public record and positive, if dated, customer feedback — a reasonable option for Cape Cod excavation or septic work, with the caveat that recent, first-hand accounts are limited.

**Strengths:**
- On-time service — 2020 Google review praised prompt, communicative septic crew
- Clean BBB record — A+ rating, no complaints and not seeking accreditation
- Owner-operated — Mark Dalpe personally oversees each job per the company

**Concerns:**
- Dated feedback — the two Google reviews on file are from 2020
- Unverified license — Title V septic license is self-reported, not registry-checked

**Where sources disagree:**
- Tenure figures differ: the company's own site says over 15 years, while BBB records 19 years in business (incorporated 2006)
