Speakman Excavating LLC

Speakman Excavating LLC is a family-owned excavation and septic contractor based at 235 Great Western Rd in South Dennis, working what its own site calls the Plymouth-to-Provincetown corridor. The advertised work is septic pumping, Title V inspections, septic and sewer tie-in engineering and installation, site work and demolition, with four licensed septic inspectors said to be on staff. Septic and sewer work is what customers actually describe. A July 2026 reviewer had a tight tank installed behind a Plymouth beach cottage and credited Charli with guiding them through the process and negotiating an easement with a neighbour; a February 2026 reviewer said two other septic companies had refused a complicated install and that Charlotte and her team met every deadline needed to close a home sale through a snowy winter. A December 2025 reviewer used them for a septic inspection and repair quote and praised quick responses and a clear report. The accounts are unusually specific about people and follow-through. A May 2025 reviewer described yard excavation and a hatchway installation where Miguel worked to their timeline and returned within two hours to re-fill and compact settled ground after heavy rain. In a 2023 review a homeowner said the company returned with excavating equipment to fix a problem on a septic system it had installed more than six years earlier. Outside the review platforms the name shows up in municipal work: a Bourne town engineer, quoted by capenews.net in August 2026, said the Dennis-based contractor did "a lot of work in a very short amount of time"; the Nantucket Land Bank's $784,250 Easton Street rain-garden project was built by the company as sole bidder; and the Marshfield Housing Authority took its bid as lowest of nine for a sewer extension and later certified substantial completion on a state septic replacement project. Two things to raise before booking. A 2022 Google reviewer wrote that a bulkhead was installed wrong, that the company would not fix it and that they expected to sue in small claims court — the only negative on file, and it stands unanswered here. And the licensing picture is untidy: BuildZoom lists a Home Improvement Contractor licence plus eight others, but the records it shows are one Newton general-contractor licence marked active-but-unverified with a December 2022 expiry and five inactive or cancelled entries, and its owner field names William Buchanan rather than the Speakmans. Ask directly for current HIC and Title V inspector credentials, in writing, and for the licence numbers that cover your specific job.
