Great! They worked as efficiently as possible given the scenario - we KNEW our main was blocked at least at 90% out near the center of the street. A year ago, another company could not clean the main all the way to the city drain - they only got a 2" blade through after LOTS of time, and kept up-selling me to more things, and had suggested water jetting was needed and the only way to get through - but we chose not to do that - would have pushed bill over $1000. An entire year later (and theoretically more clogging) American Sewer was given all the details of how bad our clog was, I said lets start with the big equipment (avoid upsell). They reassured me that was not needed and they had good equipment. Sure enough, just over an hour, he was through all the way, with a full 6" blade - for less than half of what I paid last year to not even get the job finished, and they also cleaned out another pipe too. Very pleased with their work, would be happy to use them again.

They sent out someone the first time in November. The drain continued to act up after they left. They then sent another employee back to fix the problem (Without charge). After the second employee came, we are no longer having any issues. This was our first time using this company, and they were very personable.
Description of Work: We were having some issues with our drain. They unclogged the drain, and sent a camera down to inspect to make sure there weren't any tree roots.

Seth did a great job. Cleaned out kitchen drains and kept me informed as he went through each step. Very through and cleaned the drains/pipes well. I appreciate the great job and friendly attitude. Very honest. Used the camera to look at sewer drain as well but it didn't need service at this time. Would definitely use American Sewer/Seth again. Thanks Seth!

Called Monday morning and a tech was dispatched and arrived 2 hours later at our request. He repeatedly ran a snake 35 feet through the inside plumbing line to where it connected to the outside/street line. He also checked all of the other sinks upstairs to make sure everything was clear. He was very thorough and conscientious. Other than everything drained properly afterwards, you wouldn't know he had been here, making sure everything was left spotless. I would not hesitate to recommend or use him again. He also gave us a 10% Angie's discount.

The young man came in, examined the leaking pipe below the sink, checked it out thoroughly, then went to Home Depot to purchase a new sink drainer. We have an old house, old kitchen (built in 1945). The repair guy (Seth) stuck with it until he found the problem.
Description of Work: Fixed leaking drain in kitchen sink, replaced basin strainer; had to make two trips to a nearby Home Depot for parts! But we were only charged 1.5 hours labor, $45 for sink drainer

Their repairman, Jon, came around the appointed time. He called to let us know that he was running a little late because the previous job he was on took a little longer than expected, which was fine. Jon looked at our situation and once he determined where all the drains were coming from he made a recommendation based on his experience. Jon recommended that we also clean out the kitchen sink drain pipe because it was contributing to our laundry room drain issue since the drain pipes came together in the basement laundry room. We went ahead with Jon's recommendation even though it cost a little more than we had planned because we didn't want to be facing another back up any time soon. Plus Jon also through in for free a clean out of our laundry room sink drain which was very nice. We are very pleased with the service we received from American Sewer in Bloomington!
Description of Work: Our basement laundry room floor drain (clean water drain) was backing up when we would do a load of laundry or sometimes a combination of a load of dishes in the dishwasher plus a load of laundry. We tried various drain-cleaning solutions with no results. We gave American Sewer a call after seeing their listing on Angieslist.com.

I called the office rather than contact online since I needed someone to come out right away. The person who answered the phone was very helpful and scheduled an appointment for me the same day. She gave me the time for my appointment and told me the plumber would call 20 min before. The plumber was on time and got right to work. He had the drain cleared quickly. There were only a couple of issues that didn't affect my overall satisfaction - the plumber forgot to call me 20 min before and I had to clean up some slimy fingerprints.

Response from American Sewer
The line was compromised with an object in the line Acid has been used in an old lead line which causes decay The pipes are many many years old and worn thin and it is very clear that due to the length of the hole it is a large spot and not just a puncture, it is impossible for a cable smaller in size to make such a large hole without it being rotted completely thru. Standard procedure in drain cleaning was followed . It is not uncommon to have a broken line while working on these lines and considered part of the “job” to get it draining. It is simply just not our fault. You called us out to snake the line, and you were verbally warned that to clear a clog we must try different ways using different methods. Our .25 cables are not strong enough to break an intact pipe that is structurally sound, and especially in a vertical drop middle of line. Robert used the most minimal ¼ inch wide cable in a lead pipe that is over one inch. If the pipes were in brand new condition we would have used an even bigger cable with a blade and a puncture would have not occurred.These pipes are tough when the are put in new. The leak occurred in a outer wall exactly where the smiley face toy was lodged. The pre existing condition is that the outer wall was much thinner while yet still barely intact and not draining. The reason that the outer wall was thinner was because the length of the rotten hole was almost identical to the length of the toy in the wall. So what that means to any drain cleaning expert as myself is that it has been forcing chemicals and water to the outer wall wearing away over time. Also if it were cabled it would force the cable to the outer wall and into the preexisting rotten section rather than going down the middle naturally. The cable may have made the toy move forcing the toy to the outer rotten wall. Your repair bill was much higher due to the fact that your pipes were so.......old, you simply cannot splice in a repair which is a very minimal charge of about an hour or a standard cost of 200 not including drywall. To ask us to pay for bringing it up to code is not feasible. We are very sorry for your misfortune as a homeowner in an older home however American Sewer is NOT at fault for the break or any damages as a result of the incident. Please understand this is a industry standard and not just an isolated decision. Jonathan pullis - Owner
