About

About Cape Cod Biochemical Co. Cape Cod Biochemical Company is a trusted leader in the wastewater treatment industry, known for its long-standing partnership with septic contractors and commitment to protecting public health and the environment. Founded in 1955, the company began by addressing plumbing and waste challenges in high-rise apartment buildings, delivering practical solutions to complex waste management issues. This early focus on problem-solving and performance laid the foundation for decades of innovation and growth. In 1976, Cape Cod Biochemical strategically shifted its focus to the onsite wastewater and septic industry, responding to the growing need for effective solutions for failing septic systems, commercial plumbing challenges, and restaurant-related FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease) issues. This transition marked the beginning of a contractor-first approach that continues to define the company today. For nearly 50 years, Cape Cod Biochemical has worked side by side with septic contractors across the United States—supporting system performance, educating homeowners, and helping safeguard communities and natural resources. The company’s success is built on strong, collaborative relationships with contractors nationwide. Today, Cape Cod Biochemical proudly partners with more than 2,000 septic operators who rely on the company not only for high-quality products, but also for technical expertise, education, and ongoing support. As wastewater regulations and treatment technologies have evolved, Cape Cod Biochemical has remained at the forefront—adapting its solutions and guidance to meet changing industry demands and real-world conditions in the field. Cape Cod Biochemical’s expanding product portfolio addresses a wide range of wastewater challenges, including septic tank maintenance, drain field restoration, lift stations, portable restrooms, and FOG management systems. The company also specializes in custom applications designed to resolve uniquely failing systems, offering tailored solutions where standard approaches fall short. With a strong emphasis on best practices in onsite wastewater treatment, the company supports contractors in restoring healthy COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) levels while improving overall system efficiency and longevity. Originally rooted on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, the company has recently expanded its operational capabilities with the construction of a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Hawk Point, Missouri. This relocation enhances production capacity, strengthens distribution, and positions Cape Cod Biochemical to better serve contractors nationwide while continuing to invest in quality, consistency, and innovation. Looking to the future, Cape Cod Biochemical remains focused on sustainability, education, and innovation. By addressing today’s wastewater challenges and anticipating tomorrow’s needs, the company continues its mission to support contractors, protect water quality, and advance sustainable wastewater practices. With a legacy spanning nearly seven decades and a contractor-first mindset at its core, Cape Cod Biochemical Company remains committed to delivering practical solutions and lasting partnerships for generations to come.
