Absolutely worst experience ever. They had the customer out of their house for 1 month messing around with a new mound system. Johnson County Environmental even wondered what they weee doing. Charged $19,000 to put a tank in left the hole. Said the current laterals were shot needed a new system. Hired another septic company they came in tested the lateral field team 48’ on both sides called Johnson county environmental and they approved tying into the current lateral system. Within one day they had the whole system up and running. Poor professionalism and completely try to take advantage of people. They do not know what they are doing clearly. A—1 tried to charge an additional $37,000 to do a mound system that was not needed. This job stared December 30, 2021. Hired another company to come in they said they could have had this system done in one day. It is now March 29,2022 3 months later. It could have been done by mid January but they have no idea what they are doing and will try to upcharge you to get money. Very poor management. Jake and Don are the worst people I have ever worked with. DO NOT HIRE! They will take advantage of you!

Great! A-1 was called as a second opinion. Mr. D'Montai was excellent, more ways than one. Not only did he have the clog removed in 20 minutes of arrival, but he also offered to reset the toilet which had been pulled by the previous company. (The original plan was for the first company to return, so toilet had been left unconnected.) Mr. D'Montai was respectful, compassionate and cleaned the other company's spatters! I'm so glad he is the one the company sent.
Description of Work: Line was clogged. Washing machine water would not drain; overflowed onto floor. Toilet could not be successfully plunged.

We had problem with sewer line backing up into basement. We called a different HVAC company and after two visits and $2000, the issue was not fixed. They said if their attempts did not resolve the problem, the next step would be major excavation of foundation to replace sewer lines, at a cost of $19,000. We called A-1, who responded promptly. Isaac, the technician, did a thorough assessment of problem and quickly fixed a rather simple problem that the previous company did not detect. Problem solved at a great price. Thanks Isaac.

Don at A1 went above and beyond to help us when our grinder pump failed on a holiday weekend. He worked on getting us a pumper truck to get us by until Monday when the new pump could get installed. Paula and Austin were very helpful when I called. They made me feel like my call was important. Josh took the time to call the night before a holiday and talk my husband through some things we could try prior to our appointment. Overall A1 was very professional and courteous.

Received great service! I contacted them in the evening and they arrived early the next day. My floor drain was backing up in the basement and I suspected a main line clog but the technician quickly determined the issue was with my kitchen drain line. He was able to locate and remove the clog and everything is working great now. Price was very reasonable and the technician was friendly and respectful. Would definitely hire them again.

Tech Zach was on time, courteous, and eager to get our problem solved. The clog was in our line that goes from the kitchen to the main stack and is nearly 40' long. It is buried, nearly 60 years old and has been the source of several blockage issues in the 40 plus years we have owned the home. Nevertheless, Zach had it cleared without issue, offered tips on preventing future problems with the line, and discussed possible replacement options if it ever comes to that. All in, we were very satisfied with the service.

The technician introduced himself, shook my hand and asked what the problem was. He took my information, respected my opinion and went to work promptly. He was professional, polite and made sure all was in working order after he completed the work. I am assuming he had worked a very long day, as it was after 6 when he got to my situation, and it was incredibly cold out. There was no sign that either affected him. I am not sure if it is this young man's demeanor, or if all the technician's display this sort of quiet professionalism, but I am impressed and beyond happy with the outcome. Thank you!!

A1 employees were extremely kind, respectful, hard working (in terrible circumstances), on time and made sure their work was done correctly. The expense was massive but that was not their fault. The finished as quickly as possible. Being without water for ten days was a huge challenge and they did all they could to expedite the work.
Description of Work: Entire sewer line collapsed in street. A1 had to dig up the street and replace the lateral line to my sewer line/to the city main. They also inserted a liner to protect for further cracks.

Great. First, A-1 is 24-7 which was wonderful because I didn't know they were needed until after 5pm. Scheduler was polite and helpful. Chuck came and cleared the main line. He worked quick and was careful not to damage my tiles when moving equipment in and out. Would definitely use them again.

It went very well. The young man was very polite from the time he walked in the door until he left. He was here for approximately 4 hours because we had a real job that needed to be done. He finishing all he could do because of the machines he had. Therefore he was followed by another man who finished the project. Both were very knowledgeable, polite and friendly.
