The service

What you're actually getting.

Sewage in the shower doesn’t wait for Monday. When your septic backs up, overflows, or the alarm goes off, you need a truck — not a voicemail box and a call back “first thing tomorrow.”

Gringo Pumping runs true 24-hour service across the Coastal Bend. One of our reviews says it best: we showed up at a house in the middle of nowhere at 9 PM in 25-degree weather, no extra fees. That's not a marketing line — that's a Tuesday.

  • Real-rain response — heavy weather is our busy season

Common questions

24/7 Emergency Septic Service questions, answered.

Are you really open 24 hours?

Yes. Not an answering service — the phone rings through to us and we roll out any time. Several of our Google reviews are from late-night and Sunday calls.

What should I do while I wait?

Stop running water — every flush and load of laundry adds to the backup. If sewage is coming up indoors, keep people and pets away from it. We'll walk you through the rest on the phone.

Do emergencies cost more on weekends?

Weekend work costs the same as weekday work at Gringo. That's a company rule.

My alarm is going off but nothing is backing up. Is it urgent?

Treat it as urgent-ish: the alarm means a pump or float has a problem, and you usually have a little time before it becomes a backup. Call and we'll tell you how fast to act.

With Gringo Pumping, it was easy to get an appointment the next day. The professionalism and efficiency of the workers were evident by their punctuality and knowledge of the work. Thank all of you!!!”

“In the process of trying to sell my house, I found out on short notice that I needed to have the septic tanks pumped. I found Gringo Pumping on Angi and called (on a Sunday). I had a return call in less than 30 minutes. We worked out the details very quickly and got the tanks pumped on my schedule at a very reasonable price. Great job - friendly people - would definitely recommend.”
