Best Businesses in Arizona

Had a bit of a septic overflow emergency and Jeff with Cartright's came out very quickly on his way back from another job.  He got the situation under control, and pumped out the septic tank and got everything moving again.  Thank you Jeff!

Niemeyer crew is exceptional in every way.  They schedule quickly, arrive on time and really know their stuff - without any upselling or deceptive practices.  Some of the most honest people you will find in the industry - and great senses of humor to go along with it.  I call them anytime I have a plumbing issue even though I have a home warranty.  I'm happy to pay them because I know it will be done right the first time and everything they do was necessary.  Best of the best!

We are new to the world of septic, so I called Canyon State Septic based on a stellar recommendation from a neighbor. I didn't know if we needed regular maintenance or basically anything about being on septic. John answered the phone when I called and handled all of my questions right on the spot. He patiently took the time to explain the important precautions we should follow. When we do have a problem with our system, we will absolutely be calling them again for help. I can't recommend Canyon State Septic highly enough.

My daughter, Lydia, recently became a new home owner in Laveen. On Sunday evening, she called me panicked about sudden sewer waste coming through her shower. I researched and decided to explore Jason the Plumber primarily because he was located on that side of town. I called Jason anticipating no answer (it was Sunday, after all...).
Surprisingly, he did!

And even though he was on the road back to Phoenix from an out-of-town trip, he took the time and patience with me to explain and offer advisement on the particular problem. He then promised to contact me the following morning to arrange a visit to the home to assess the issue.
Still not the best part of this saga...

Later, the same evening, Jason called right after returning into town. He not only offered to make a trip to my daughter's home, but within a short time of arrival there, he completely resolved the problem! Lydia was so VERY impressed with his professionalism, quality of work, pricing and pleasant personality. She is also ecstatic that she's found her forever plumber - Jason the Plumber!!

Thank you, Jason, for going so far out of your way to rescue us from a scary situation. Forever grateful!

I had such a positive experience with Macho Contracting. I needed to have the water main line replaced. Danny and Robert were great - they were knowledgeable, professional and also cared about the customer experience. I highly recommend Macho Contracting.

In March of this year, I contracted this pumping service.  Not only did they do a stellar job, I was informed, unfortunately, of the very shoddy job performed by the last pumping company I used.
The service tech had to do additional work to properly perform his task and the information he gave me was invaluable.
As an added bonus, I had risers installed to make the next time that much easier, something I was never offered from the other company.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone requiring septic tank work.

First found these guys on, uh, another recommendations site and was very pleased with the fast, thorough work. Hired them again for a second, messier job--not only was it done right, Vitaliy even cleaned up afterward! I've used a lot of plumbers that have been good to so-so, but these guys are by far the best and most reasonably priced.

If I could give zero stars I would. Never responded to texts or calls until day of installation when mike finally called back he responded with I don't even know who you are, after saying he received my text over a week ago. I had Lowe's switch installers

I had Quality Pumping out a couple months ago to pump my septic system. He never informed me of the outlet piping was damaged, I had leaks above the lids and when I called them to ask them to come back to see why it was leaking they informed me that could not have someone out for at least a week I ended up calling Little Stinker and they informed me that the outlet pipe might be damaged. I ended up digging down to the outlet hole myself and found that the pipe was damaged and nothing was going out to the leach lines. I had Little Stinker come back out and they replaced all outlet pipes and it ended up costing me another $700.00. I'm not saying it was Quality's fault but the tech could have pointed out to me that the pipe was not right, after all....its their business to know these things, I would have gladly paid them to do the repairs when they were out here initially.

So, the one star is because they did what I asked. Cleared our clog, but the process and the pressure sell was so painful and their credibility so questionable, I wouldn't use them again.
 So, Stephen came out.  Super polite, nice guy- in fact FAR too nice to be working for this company.
 Our kitchen sink was clogged.  Needed to be snaked.  So, he did this.  I sat in a nearby room during the process and hear an 'OH, WOW' which almost sounded rehearsed.  I asked what was up, and he showed me 'tree roots'.  No food stuck in it- nothing- just a small glob of what appeared to be roots.   Hm.  Interesting.  It hadn't been running slow at all until it suddenly clogged after a massive cooking session and stuffing of vegetables down the disposal.
 You'd think with tree roots growing into the pipe, we would experience a gradual slowing of draining,  but maybe not- I am admittedly no expert.
 He went on to want to have his 'camera guy' come, no extra charge (yeah, right), to run a camera to see the extent of the problem.   I had read previous reviews and this is a CLEAR theme.  UM, NO thanks.  He went on to explain how serious this situation is.  Ok, thanks.  Interesting that we've had no other issues with plumbing in the 13 years we have lived here, but ok, note was taken.
 He says he is going to clean up and will be done in a few minutes.

  The next thing I know, the 'supervisor' shows up.  I literally felt like I was in a Saturday Night Live Skit.
 This guy suggests a homeowners claim based on some water damage to our cabinet. REALLY?     'I'll take care of it, he said.   blah, blah, blah.  Um, NO.  And he persisted.  I'm not trying to give give you a hard sell.  OH, really, because this is a really bad example of exactly what you are doing.
 I was trying to be polite and finally got him to stop talking and was billed the 77.00 for the drain clearing.    Again, Stephen- move on;  get away from these people.
 The best part was the 'God Bless' on the supervisor's part when he left.  Really?  haha.   I felt like I needed a shower after he left.

 Oh, and in chatting with the tech, he said he works on commission.   Really?  Pretty obvious they all do and somewhere along the line have learned how to work the insurance claim thing in their favor.  YUCK.  Steer clear.

04/2019 - I was moving into a home that had some suspicious issues with the plumbing so I sought out someone to help me get information on what the real issues were with the septic system.

After careful consideration,  I contacted Rob to see what help he could offer.

Very very very glad that we did.  Saved us a ton of hassle and kept us from being taken advantage of.

Rob is competent, experienced, and thorough.  There is no better a person or company to call for anything septic related.  

Seriously was a big help to my family.

We had Little Stinkers out  late summer of 2012to determine if our new to us cabin had a septic or cesspool .  They said it was a cesspool even though it had a cement vault.  Several thousand dollars later we discovered that what we have is a septic tank, not a cesspool.  Little Stinkers did not do what they were paid to do and we have spent the last almost 2 years with Coconino County and engineers getting an approved septic system...for NOTHING.  Today the county told us that our (original) septic system is viable and to use it.  To say that we are not happy with Little Stinkers is a gross understatement.  They cost us thousands of dollars and almost 2 years of work and aggravation.  They are nice guys, but I'd rather have someone that knew what they were doing.  I hope this helps someone from being in this position.

Had an issue with Septic system in Forest Lakes and Michael came out today to take a look. Fixed the issue, even stuck around to make sure it was working properly. Best customer service I've received in years. highly recommend!!

Beware...they provided an incomplete inspection and recommended unnecessary repairs.  They did not answer questions on the inspection report honestly.

Well, the plumber fixed my broken pipe but didn't have the parts to finish the job, so he left a big muddy hole in the front yard with instructions on where I could get the final part to install and fill in the hole myself. I did all of that, but: I. Am. Not. Impressed.
I will not use them again.
P.S. the part was available at Pine Hardware, 5 minutes away...

I believe this company engages in unscrupulous business tactics.  I hired them to pump and inspect my septic tank for the sale of my house.  The inspector failed the inspection after 10 minutes claiming he ran water for 15 minutes and found roots.  He did not run water and there were no roots.  A subsequent inspection confirmed there were no roots.  Avoid this company.  They seem to be the only game in town in Apache Junction but you can get a company from Mesa to come out.

If you want to be lied to and overcharged these are the people you want.
Not only were we grossly overcharged from their original quote but the worker that added the invoice made a $200 mistake in his favor which we were never given credit for.
