Recommended Customer Reviews

Israel of California Pumping did a thorough job in pumping our septic tank. The scheduler was also very friendly and did exactly what she said she was going to do by calling us before the technical arrived.
We have used the company for decades.

The absolute worst!!
They are exactly what you imagine when you think a old school scam artist contractor stereotype. They ""tested"" my septic tank which had been pumped clean a week before by the septic maintenance service we routinely use and it worked fine. Before they arrived I checked it personally and it was empty. They did not know it was already inspected and given an all clear but within 2 seconds after arriving they said we need and all new septic system and that our perfectly operational existing system was critically failing even though it wasn't and the only course was a brand new system installed by them. Completely dishonest classic con game and a complete ripoff scam. Save yourselves and heed my warning because it is late for me. Learn from my mistake and don't be a victim of a scam!!

Buyer beware. I paid for a septic system cert for a real estate transfer. What I got was a huge dig-up in my yard, and a failed system report with a quote for $5,700 worth of work needed (new leach line). I was highly skeptical, since the system had been certified 3 years earlier, and I had no issues at all in that 3 years. I asked them to call back with an explanation and no one called. They are hiding from me.
I called a competitor and he told me their business model is well known this way. I got him out, he tested and certified the system. Problem solved. Avoid this vendor.

This is the first time i post on YELP ! ! ! Technician beats up concrete lids with metal bar to the point to create 3 inch gaps, then he suggested to cover gaps with plastic bags to keep dirt from getting in. I called headquarter and requested broken lids to be replaced and they told me that according to contract, they are not responsible for broken lids.
This was not an accident the guy just wanted to get done quick and go home. Receptionist recommended to install raiser and pay them more money to fix the problem they created in the first place. I have witnesses and photos to prove it.
I have been living in this house for 15 years and every time i personally carefully remove the lids, but this time i had to go to work and trusted a professional to do it.
They refused to replace lids.
They will break your lids then suggest to install a raiser to fix problem and charge you more money.

I called several companies about locating and pumping our septic tank, but I went with this company because of Claire, the person who answered the phone. I had many questions and she patiently answered them. The team came out to my house on time on a Friday afternoon and did the job. I would rate them 4 1/2 stars. The only thing I wish they would have done was not leave 2 mounts of dirt left over from where they put in the risers.

This company was great! Christian was super helpful when I spoke to him on the phone and their availability was quick to come out. Israel came out to pump our system-he was extremely nice and answered any questions I had. I will definitely use this company for my future needs!

Full septic tank in Bloomington California,called them and they came out. Receptionist was friendly and helpful. The technician was professional and helpful as well. Use them if in the IE. Well worth the service.

I agreed to use their service only because they were the only ones available on a Friday and the septic was backed up on our rental. I was told over the phone and in advance that if we dug up the cap to the septic tank, there would be no $95 an hour labor charge. I had my son dig it up. The driver arrived and acted like we were there for him, like he was paying us. He spent less than two minutes with a shovel in his hand and they still charged us the $95 labor fee. I would not recommend this company. I prefer to use a local and reputable company , Burns septic, but they weren't available.

Had my septic pumped and they did a good job. Not to friendly but nice enough. The tattoos he has on his arm made me wonder.... They were not body art tattoos... I know it is hard to cover the ones up on your neck, but a long sleeve shirt would be good for the arms. However, I would use them again for pumping services.

Worst company ever I will never call these people again I had an 8 o'clock appointment that was fine he dug to holes and I paid them. perfect he said that the pump was going to come at 12 they never came. 5 o'clock 6 o'clock they closed for the day so they gave me another appointment at 3 o'clock the next day. Really? Okay so 3 o'clock rolls around and they were no show of course. So it's now 6 pm. By this time it's dark outside so the technician shows up he pumps the tank and leave the holes. So now they have to call somebody else to come fill in the holes. Anyways they finish the job at 8 o'clock at night really in the dark. I'm the one that had to supply the light source for them to see what they were doing this is my worst experience with septic tank cleaners. Don't call these people.
