Shore Things Environmental, LLC

When a Cape homeowner called Shore Things about an emergency pumping in March 2026, the truck was there within the hour — the lid already dug up and waiting — and left with the tank pumped and a clog cleared out of the main waste line. In January another customer emailed about a septic and drain emergency, got a phone call back, and was told when the crew was on its way. The Harwich company works the whole wastewater side of a property: municipal sewer connections handled end to end, from site assessment and design through permitting and construction, plus septic pumping and repairs, Title 5 inspections, drain cleaning and commercial grease traps. The site offers a free consultation and says the team carries more than eight decades of combined experience in local wastewater work. What customers write about most is the digging. Colin arrived in Dennis in an August 2025 job with a map of the yard and measured exactly where the cover sat; an April 2025 customer said he located the tank lid easily, dug neatly through the grass and left the cleanup spotless. Two October 2024 customers said their lawns came back untouched — one could not tell where the work had been done at all. The office gets named as often as the technicians. Ashley, Katelyn and the rest booked one service call for the same day, looked up when a septic system had last been pumped for another customer, and answered questions before anyone arrived. In a June 2025 review, a customer who called David about a possible new sewer system for his father's house was told he did not need to upgrade anything — and got help anyway. Neighbours on Nextdoor recommend the company in Brewster, and a South Chatham poster in April 2026 reported calling with a service request and being answered immediately.

If you need a septic tank pumped, an emergency clog cleared, or a sewer connection carried through the permitting, this is a straightforward call on the lower Cape — ask what the free consultation covers and, for a sewer tie-in, who handles the town paperwork.
