Several plumbers told a homeowner that their septic system, sitting more than a hundred feet from the house, was simply too far out to clear. Rescue Plumbing took the call and the owner rang back immediately. That March 2026 review is a fair summary of what this Westford company is for: the plumbing jobs that need a machine and a hole in the ground. Cody and Cameron Caffelle — brothers, according to a March 2026 reviewer — run it, and their names appear in nearly every account. The work described is heavy. A degraded main water service line replaced. Cracked and collapsed sewer pipes rerun from house to street. Cast-iron fittings cut out through a slab. A septic line that froze and backed up into a house. Trenching in July 2025 to reconnect two stormwater drainage pits to the town system. Excavating part of a parking lot for a property management client to rebuild access to a main shut-off valve. Permits and inspections come up again and again as something they take on rather than leave with the homeowner. A June 2026 customer said the town permitting and inspection for a cracked sewer pipe replacement were arranged for them and the job landed inside the promised window. A March 2026 reviewer whose line to the septic tank broke said the company worked with their insurer. Speed is the other constant. One February 2026 customer had leaks stopped during a snowstorm, twice inside two weeks. Another that month sent photos and video and got a diagnosis instead of a booking; a June 2026 caller was talked through a stuck outside-faucet valve on the phone rather than sold a visit. Across 137 Google ratings the average is a straight five, with 134 written reviews since 2023 and 31 of them in the past six months, none negative. The exception is a September 2024 one-star review, and it is a serious one. That customer says the company performed work on their home after being told another plumber was already engaged, that they were compelled to accept the service by police, and that a permit for their property was pulled by a different owner on the street. They also say the excavation under their deck was backfilled with the same contaminated soil, left uncompacted, and that the deck now leans. It is one customer's account, and nothing else written about the company resembles it. If the problem is underground — sewer, septic, water service, a drain run nobody else will chase — this is a shop built for that work, and one that picks up the phone. Ask who is pulling the permit, and get backfill and site restoration written into the scope; that is exactly where the one bad account went wrong.

Our property management firm has retained Rescue Plumbing for a variety of commercial jobs ranging from an emergency frozen pipe repair, rebuilding a backflow prevention valve, to excavating a portion of a parking lot to dismantle and rebuild access to a main shut off valve. Cody and Cameron at Rescue provided timely and honest communication with each assignment, as well as presenting competitive and fair pricing. Every interaction further secured our trust in their teams’ skills and capabilities. They worked seamlessly and carefully to address each task at hand and kept us informed at every step. I have full confidence in the team they assembled – including their master plumber, Keith. I would not hesitate to recommend Rescue Plumbing Services. They are highly skilled and capable to handle complex plumbing repairs and upgrades with grace. If you're looking for the best - look no further.
