  • Can you help me make sure my septic system is working correctly?

    Not only do we pump septic systems, grease traps, and sand traps, but we can also help you maintain a healthy system by making recommendations on how to ensure it's working properly. We also provide septic tank installation services and offer replacements.

  • Do you offer inspections for home sales and refinances?

    We're happy to make sure your systems are working properly for any of your home sale or mortgage refinancing needs. Call us at any time to schedule an inspection for your septic tank.

  • How long will it take you to fix my tank if it needs to be replaced?

    We're required to get permit approval from your municipal government to follow local rules regarding replacements and installations. Permitting usually takes two weeks to come through. Once American Pumping Service has your permits, we can install a new septic tank within two days.

  • What can I do to keep my septic system working better and longer between services?

    Septic systems work best when not strained to a point of over-capacity. Call American Pumping Service to make sure your septic system is the right size for your needs.  


    Additionally, excessive chemicals in the system impact its ability to work correctly by affecting how it processes the effluence flowing through it.  


    Make sure to avoid certain items like garbage disposal waste and sanitary wipes. If your system is in need of servicing, contact us today to get started with high-quality septic system service.

  • What kinds of things should I absolutely avoid putting into my septic system?

    Cleaning chemicals, sanitary wipes, and garbage disposal waste are all things that impact your septic system's ability to work properly. The system isn't able to break these things down and they could cause more frequent pumping or potentially a full replacement of the system.


    American Pumping Service can help you extend the life of your septic tank by providing tips on what to do and what not to do with your septic system.

  • Are there environmentally friendlier systems that you can install?

    American Pumping Service uses specialized tanks made from recycled plastic. Each septic tank is certified to hold and process waste efficiently. We make sure we're supporting our environment by using recycled materials to positively impact the environment and reduce the use of additional plastic manufacturing.

  • Do you only pump septic systems?

    American Pumping Service offers septic system service for all sizes of systems. Additionally, we can help maintain your grease traps and sand traps with regular cleaning and tips for better system maintenance. We don't pump any hazardous materials.

  • If I need emergency pumping, can you help?

    According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, every three to five years is a typical pumping period for an average household septic tank. However, emergencies can pop up without warning. We're on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for your residential and commercial emergency needs.

  • Do you only work on residential tanks and systems? Can you handle large commercial needs?

    American Pumping Service is certified to work on virtually any size of septic tank, grease trap, or sand trap. We work over a wide area of Central and Northern New Mexico. Call now to let us know how we can help you take care of your septic system service needs.
