Justin was prompt and quickly figured out the problem. Initially it would have taken only 30 minutes but with the addition of the main line clean out it took about 60 minutes total.
Description of Work: Floor drain in basement was backing up. Ran sink machine cable through washer drain to open. Ran 3" blade through floor clean out, then 2" blade to clear the blockage in main line.

Response from A-1 Sewer & Septic Service Inc
We're sorry that you are disappointed with the service you received. I did pull up your account and noticed that the first repair was to a shower water supply line on June 16th. We were called out a week later on the 22nd for the shower drain line, an unrelated issue. The next day you placed another call saying the leak was still present. We sent our technician out who realized it was his error and repaired the damage at no cost to you. As with all companies, we make mistakes. However, we strive to remedy any situation that we are made aware of.

When I called the tech was there within 30 minutes. He was very knowledgeable and professional and had the work done in under an hour. He left no mess behind. It's also nice that if the work requires longer than an hour, A-1 will break the extra time into 15 minute increments rather than just saddle you with an extra hour. Strongly recommend if you have plumbing issues!

In the process, the 1st plumber's machine broke down in my basement and he couldn't get it working. In fact, he ended up at my home most of the afternoon trying to get the machine to work and ended up calling a 2nd employee/plumber to come and bring another machine to do the job. The 2nd plumber said the 1st plumber didn't need to move the utility sink/faucet at all, confirming my suspicion. They finished the requested main line work successfully with the 2nd machine. They reattached my utility sink/faucet and I paid them for the main line work and they left (finally). However, during that evening & next morning I noticed that there was water on the floor under the sink, so the sink was now leaking. Upon calling A-1 that next day they sent out a 3rd plumber who reattached the sink after he'd determined that the pipes were not put together properly. The 3rd plumber successfully stopped the pipes from leaking. At that time, talking with him, I noticed the faucet is now dripping steadily. When I brought it to his attention he said, "the stems are broken and it will need to be replaced". All I knew was that nothing had been leaking, dripping or broken with that sink/faucet prior to their arrival to work on my main line....(completely separate fixture, I never asked them to touch the sink/faucet). The 3rd plumber said he wouldn't be able to replace the faucet since it 'was old already'.I was not pleased with him when he left & I let him know that I thought A-1 should fix what they broke. I didn't have to pay a charge for the follow-up visit by the 3rd plumber. Several days later, after this was still unsettling to me, I finally called their service manager to talk about this. He insisted on coming to my house again! (another appointment) in order to 'look at it'. He also said he would talk to the plumbers who had worked in my home in the meantime. So, I met him at my home and he made me relay the entire story again. He didn't do more than visually 'look at it'. He said, "I am not buying that our technician broke your faucet simply by reattaching it and testing it". I told him I didn't know what your technician did to it, I just know it was working fine before and now it is not and it should have never even been touched by your 'technicians' in the first place. This really upset me that their company would not take responsibility for this. Then he offered to pay for the new faucet if I paid for the labor! Can you imagine? I pay $100 for the labor while they pay $20-$30 for a new faucet. That absolutely did not work for me and by now I am really getting frustrated. He left and as he did I made sure he heard me say I was going to complain to Angie's List and that he'd be sorry.
Description of Work: A-1 was hired to work on my main line for standard clean out service. The employee/plumber who came, also completely disconnected and moved a utility sink/faucet that was nearby in order to prepare a space to work, even though I expressed I really hoped he didn't have to move it. A-1 had never moved that sink before to service my main line. You can see where this is going. By the time the work was done that I'd called for, and the sink was reattached, the sink and/or faucet was leaking and/or broken.

Response from A-1 Sewer & Septic Service Inc
(Member Name Removed) Has a Faucet that she said is over 10 years old. We went to (Member Name Removed) home originally to open her main sewer line. In order to clean the line our tech did move the laundry sink so the machine could not damage the sink. Our tech did fail to check for leaks after reinstalling the sink and the drain for the laundry sink did leak. When (Member Name Removed) called and informed us she had a leak on the laundry sink we sent a senior tech out to resolve the problem. We repaired the leak on the drain for the laundry tub and simply turned the faucet on the laundry sink to check for leaks on the drain connection, at that point the faucet had a leak our tech looked at the faucet and determined because of the age it would need to be replaced. At that point (Member Name Removed) became very adamant that it was our fault the faucet now drips and is our responsibility to replace it even though the faucet is at the end of its service life. I personally went to check the faucet and after listening to (Member Name Removed) tell me she was getting ready to list her home for sale she had the faucet repaired and was able to get the faucet not drip and she was not going to use the faucet anymore because she did not want to replace it. I went to (Member Name Removed) home with the attitude of settling this situation. However after listening to (Member Name Removed) explanation the faucet was old and she knew it needed to be replaced, I informed (Member Name Removed) we would not replace the faucet at no charge. At this point (Member Name Removed) became determined that it was completely our responsibility fully and would not listen to my resolution. I proposed if (Member Name Removed) would purchase a new faucet we would install it, and discount the labor 50% for an approximate cost of $65.00. (Member Name Removed) became so combative with me that I said good bye and headed out to my vehicle. (Member Name Removed) followed me out to my truck yelling at me saying she was going to file complaints with everyone she could think of if we did not replace her faucet at no charge. I have attached a picture of the faucet with this email. Please note the brown discoloration of the handles and the marks on the spout confirming the age of the faucet.
