American Pumping Service

Excellent and efficient.Friendly service and best prices for septic cleaning in town.Always quick to schedule an appointment and they are fast to do the job.The receptionist is very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

Otto and the site crew delivered as promised. Needed a new system. installed prior to home sale. Lead time was a little long, but at no fault of the company. Business is good.The crew went out of their way to make the project go smooth and to minimize the damage to the trees. This project required the relocation of the system to the front yard of our Placitas home, making us very nervous. The end results were much better than we had expected. Thank you Otto and team.

This company has zero customer service. They pumped out my tank today and broke the concrete lid because the workman dropped the lid and they claim it happens because the concrete breaks down with age. Interesting to me we have had no issues until they came to pump it out as a service paid by Entronsa as a part of our service. Entronsa was shocked to hear this was our problem. This company wanted me to pay close to $300 to replace the top with a new plastic one and a sleeve. I think this was done on purpose to make extra money and they are not a good company to use period. I found a top for $50.00 and bought it so I did not have to deal with this bad company.

The install was great. The team has changed and service is now a negative review. Otto was not communicating but raced ahead without autorotation. Now we are seeking remedy for a huge cost. DO NOT use without checking the Better Business Bureau's records.

I wish I could give MINUS FIVE Stars. As noted by other reviewers, this company is dishonest. Any company can make a mistake. The best companies are the ones that step up and do the right thing when they make a mistake. You should not expect this from American Pumping. In addition to refusing to correct their mistake, the owner actually came on to my property without permission and disabled part of my leach field to cover up his mistake. Also, the company was paid for a two-year service contract which they did not honor. It shocks me that companies can get away this type of behavior. Do not do business with American Pumping.

Awesome service,, professional And friendly.I had a list of things that needed to be repaired. I called American plumbing service and got an appointment for the very next day.The job was completed and I am very pleased with the work.

American pumping has screwed me over worse than any thing I have ever imagined in my life. I am trying to sell my house and the inspection they did on my septic tank failed. After having two more companies come to give opinions they both have said that American pumping has purposefully failed my system in order to gain money. I believe they may have punched a hole in the side of my tank to fail it so that it would need to be replaced. I am now contacting an attorney for what I believe is a criminal act committed by American pumping. I am possibly going to lose the sale of my house because of the report they made to the county. I legally have to replace/repair my entire septic system before I can sell the house because of the false inspection submitted by American Pumping to Bernalillo County.

Less than one star preferred but unable to leave negative feedback.They came out to my place. The workers are great but the owner is dishonest and untrustworthy. First he claims that a house I am buying fails a flow test. Claimed that the tank was installed backwards for 20 years. That was suspect. Seller hires him to install a new system. I discussed the install with otto and reminded him that in our garage we have full hookups for a bathroom, shower, washer and dryer and a sink. He acknowledged this. New system was installed. Sprinkler lines and wiring was cut and took 3 months to locate and repair damage. Of course Otto tells you to take a hike on these things. Then I find out that Otto did NOT hook up the garage plumbing. I brought this to his attention and he said he had no way of knowing. How can he not know. I ran water down the drain and immediately found out. He could have done that. I reminded I told him ahead of time. He refused to come out and hook it up and made all kinds of excuses. He said part of the piping was under the driveway. If he had listened to me from the start this would not have been a problem. He then sends out a plumber to find the old lines and misdiagnosed where they were. Anyways after a lot of fighting we had an agreement. He would come out and dig up the driveway and connect the pipes to the garage and I would pay another company to install new concrete after he tore it up. There were to be no charges because Otto blundered the job. His guys come out and dig up the pipes then claim a lift station is needed for thousands of dollars at least because the new system was installed higher than the old pipes. If he had listened to me about the garage in the beginning he could have made proper plans on installation to avoid a lift station. So it could not be hooked up and still is not hooked up. Why should we pay thousands for a lift station plus a new driveway just because Otto cannot think properly and is in dishonor. I later found out that his plumber misdiagnosed the location of the pipe from the garage to the new system. A lift station was not needed and they dug in the wrong place. Then this king of dishonor sends me a bill for digging up the driveway. He ignored the deal we had and decided to charge me anyways. We had NO written or verbal contract for any charges at all. It was supposed to be free due to his incompetence. He sends me a bill and of course I dispute it. He then hems and haws and comes up with all kinds of BS excuses and claims I agreed to pay him. I did NOT. Then he liens the house. This guy needs to be put out of business. I reported him. And while you may trust him as a builder I can tell you that there are many competitors of his that have honestly told me that he is not honest or trustworthy. He is not well liked from what I heard. All of this is just my opinion of course. Decide for yourself but in my opinion Otto is a powder keg. Never know what he will do and his word means less than nothing. Im a house flipper and we have flipped 50 homes in Albuquerque. We always called him in the past. Never again. He lost my business forever. We sold the house and fortunately the buyer was a builder and can handle hooking up the garage. I told him NOT to use AP. We dont ever have to call Otto to deal with that house again or anything else. Thank God.I have also told my story to all the builders and home owners I know.

My septic system drain field was 24 years old and stopped percolating several years ago, which meant that even with just 2 people, I had to have the tank pumped about every 10 months. Oto from American Pumping came to the house for a site inspection and discussed what had to be done. He sent an estimate to me the same day. About a month later (because the permit offices were closed for Covid) Senior and his son Junior arrived about 7am and got right to work trenching, etc.They finished the job about 4PM. They answered all my questions about the new system and offered help if I needed any.This system is great with new risers and 2 view ports plus a washable filter.Great job by everyone at American Pumping!

We called American Pumping Service today (Sunday) for an emergency service. The person on the phone was so nice and helpful. Within 2 hours of making the phone call, our tank was pumped and we had our service back up. Tony came out and was awesome and helpful. The extra fee for an emergency service on Sunday was extremely reasonable- no price gouging from this company! We cannot thank them enough for helping us on such short notice.
