Other than receiving a call at 3:56am this morning informing me that the driver was en route and would arrive at 4:30am for a service that was between 5-6am they are really solid. We've never had an issue with them at all. The receptionists have always been friendly. I read a bad review from a woman who seems like she just got mad because of her own cheapness with coupons. Don't pay any attention to those. These guys are solid.

The guy who came out was super friendly and helpful answering my questions and were quick and effective. The office set up is a little weird having to get call backs because the ""dispatch"" people aren't there. Atlas was the only company from everyone I called who could give me the soonest appointment in general so that was nice at least. Cost is very in between some estimates I received so they are competitively priced. I did end up paying $460 to have my septic pumped. Five stars for the tech being a good sport. 4 stars overall for the appointment system but at the end of the day it's the techs work that counts.

We purchased a new home, didnt have a good idea where the tank was and Chris our tech was very patient and diligent in finding the tank. Great rates and good people.

Three years ago when I used them they were great. They helped me find the septic tank, idk where it was. They kept the cleaning under a certain time limit; so it wasn't so expensive. I think they honored some sort of coupon. Good job done, much appreciated.

So when I get a friendly reminder in the mail that it is time for another cleaning, I call, coupon in hand, ready to give them repeat business. Their receptionist couldn't seem to give me any clear time. Ultimately I got annoyed and I told her if you want my business, call me back when you can. She never did. Judging from the other reviews, the receptionist /scheduling end needs to get organized. I can't be the only one annoyed by this.

Atlas Pumping was fantastic got me on their schedule quickly and did a first rate job. Very clean crew, truck, and equipment. Adan and Chris did a superior job even with me looking over their shoulder. Won't find better service in San Diego County.

While dealing with a severe grease trap issue early one morning before normal business hours, I called many different companies. Only Atlas responded quickly, and they immediately dispatched a truck to help us out. They're a great company, for which I'm very grateful!

We had to get our septic tanks serviced and pumped. Francisco was awesome! He spent 4-5 hours digging by hand just to find the the covers. The entire time, Francisco was completely professional and curteouse. He also recommended we replace the lids to our tank because they were cracked and he provided us with an excellent referral from who we were able to get the covers from that same day. Long story short, if your looking for reliable, hard working septic company- doesn't get any better than Atlas Pumping and the service Francisco provided!
