Scantic Valley Excavating describes itself as a locally owned excavation contractor based in Orleans, doing septic system installation, sewer and water line connections, cellar holes, grading and material hauling. The company says Brian Webster started it in Hampden, MA in 2006 and moved it to Cape Cod full-time in 2023. A customer whose septic failed during the sale of their house said Brian got on it right away and brought Dave, the engineer, on board. Dave did the perc test on a Monday, Brian started on Tuesday, and by Thursday afternoon of that same week everything was inspected and signed off with the town, that customer said. A customer with a rapidly degrading septic drainage said Brian and co. provided a quote the same day and scheduled as soon as possible. That customer said the scope expanded a little due to site utilities and additional grading. A 2025 customer said a title 5 project had to be relocated to the front yard because of space constraints, and that Brian and his plumber did the work over 2 days. A 2025 customer said Brian completed a septic system installation only 4 weeks after the failure was discovered. A 2025 customer said Brian was knowledgeable through permitting, conservation commission hearings and coordinating with other trades. A 2022 customer said Brian read the engineer's report and then gave a quote, not an estimate, so the cost was known up front.
I highly recommend Scantic Valley Excavating for septic installation. From start to finish, Bryan was professional, knowledgeable, dependable, and incredibly easy to work with. Having a new septic system installed can be a stressful and overwhelming project, but they made the entire process go smoothly and took the time to explain what was happening along the way. The quality of their work was excellent. They were efficient, organized, respectful of the property, and clearly take a lot of pride in doing the job correctly. Communication was great throughout the project, and everything was handled professionally from beginning to end. It’s becoming harder to find contractors who combine excellent workmanship with reliability, honesty, and great customer service, but Scantic Valley Excavating absolutely delivered. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone needing septic or excavation work. Five stars all around!
Brian came to our rescue when our septic failed during the selling of our house. He got on it right away, bringing Dave, the engineer on board. Within a few days all the paperwork to start was completed and approved with the town. On a Monday, Dave did the perc test and on Tuesday, Brian was able to start. He is very meticulous with the process and was very conscientious of our property, our neighbors property which we had to utilize to gain access to our backyard and always keeping us up to date on the timeline. By Thursday afternoon of that same week, Brian was able to get everything inspected and signed off with the town and had the Certificate that it passed sent to us. From what was a very stressful problem for us, Brian made it seem so easy to rectify. I would highly recommend Brian if this situation arises or for any excavating work you might need.
Excellent service! Professional, reliable, and efficient. The team at Scantic Valley Excavating did a great job from start to finish. Highly recommend!
Great work done on time and as promised, SV excavating came recommended by my normal pump out guy (JMB septic, also solid work!) due to a rapidly degrading septic drainage, Brian and co. came to the rescue, provided a quote same day, and scheduled ASAP. The planning, details, timing and updates were all communicated regularly and professionally. They handled everything and knocked out a hell of a project in just a couple of days. Septic replacement is not something you want to oversee yourself and experience is worth its weight. The scope of the project expanded a little due to site utilities and additional grading, but SC was quick to adjust and save the budget. I was very happy with the finished work and would not hesitate to have them back should the need ever arise, highly recommend!
Here’s a polished, natural‑tone review you can post as‑is: --- Scantic Valley Excavating, led by Brian Webster, did an outstanding job replacing my failed leaching field. From start to finish, Brian was excellent to communicate with — clear, responsive, and always making sure I understood what was happening at each stage of the project. His pricing was fair, and he even took care of a few additional items along the way without adding to the cost. That kind of integrity is rare. Throughout the job, he checked in to make sure everything was going the way I expected and that I was happy with the progress. Brian is a true professional. He shared helpful tips, explained how the system works, and made the entire process far less stressful than I expected. If you need a septic or leaching field replacement, I highly recommend Scantic Valley Excavating. You’ll be in great hands.
