Debarros Septic

Debarros Septic is a family-run septic pumping and service company based in Marstons Mills on Cape Cod. Reviewers describe it as a father-and-sons operation — Peter, Sean/Shawn, and their crew come up by name across the years. This summer, one customer said Shawn told them their tank was actually smaller than a previous company had claimed, which lowered their bill rather than charging for the size they'd assumed — the reviewer specifically noted he could have charged more and didn't. In a 2024 review, a customer with an older septic system described several emergency pump-outs, with Shawn (or a backup he arranged when unavailable) walking them through the system and laying out multiple options to fix a recurring problem. In a 2022 review, a customer described a completely full, overflowing tank discovered during other property work, despite having been told by the home's previous owner that it had recently been pumped and inspected — DeBarros stepped in to deal with the actual state of the system. Several reviewers describe using the company for years, including for parents' homes as well as their own, and multiple reviews mention fast response times, even for last-minute or emergency calls. One 2022 review described a Mass Title 5 inspector, Chad Hathaway, being sent out to diagnose a 15-year-old pump failure after other companies couldn't get to the bottom of it. One thing worth flagging: the Better Business Bureau's listing for this phone number is filed under a different name, "Pete DeBarros & Sons Septic Service," at a different Marstons Mills address, and describes a sole proprietorship in business since 1982. The phone number matches exactly, so it's very likely the same operation under an older trade name, but it's worth confirming directly. That BBB listing carries an A+ rating, though it isn't accredited.
