Great! Dave called to confirm the time and arrived when he said he would. He was prepared with his tools, took off his shoes, assessed the problem and set to work to snake the drain. He put down a covering to protect the floor. Ran into a few glitches, but he resolved the problems and was able to clear the drain. Dave was friendly, professional, careful in his work and knowledgeable. I would definitely hire them again!
Description of Work: Cleared the drain from kitchen sink that was backing up into the bathroom tub.

Awesome. After the camera was done we were told the line did not need to be cleaned out. They gave us tips so we would not need to have this done as often. Very honest

Needed our kitchen drain cleaned out. It took just about all the line he had to finally reach the plug, but he completed the job. I'd had another company out about a year ago and they gave up, so I was VERY pleased American Sewer got it done!

He came and snaked the line, removing tree roots obstructing the sewer line. He explained what happened and what needed to be done and was reassuring (I appreciated this a lot as I'm a first-time homeowner)

Dave arrived on time, figured out exactly where the line was, explained what he was going to do, proceeded carefully so as not to disturb any more of our floor than necessary, found and replaced the line, put everything back together, and cleaned up thoroughly, all for a very reasonable price. I was EXTREMELY nervous to see and hear my basement floor jackhammered! Thankfully, Dave was patient, reassuring, and extremely capable, which was a huge relief. In short, highly recommend!
Description of Work: Cut a 10 foot x 1 foot trench through our basement floor(!!) to reach and replace a sewer line that had rotted through.

Water seemed to be draining properly at first but backed up again the next day. Provider promptly came out again and cleared the drain further. Was appropriately apologetic. Now has been working fine.

American Sewer did a great job. They called when they were going to be 1/2 late after the scheduled time to keep us informed which was very helpful. When they arrived the mechanic was efficient and knowledgeable. Took less than 15 minutes to unclog the drain and clean up. Overall great service and good pricing. Very happy with the job.

They are extremely creative, thoughtful, and told us about how much this would cost. The money spent (About $375) saved us several thousand dollars worth of damage. I don't think many plumbers or drain repair people would have followed this through diligently as they did. An excellent business to work with and we were very happy with them. From the early spring of 2016.
Description of Work: We had a bathtub that was draining very slowly and getting worse by the week. We thought it would be an easy fix with a snake. The problem proved to be more extensive and involved a metal drain pipe that had corroded through. It was all the way down in our finished basement and in a tight spot with an access cover in our basement bedroom. They told us they could fix it, but would need to go to a hardware shop to buy a replacement pipe. They came back in just ten to fifteen minutes with all the parts needed, sawed out the old corroded pipe and fitted a new section of pipe to it. All of this took a while to saw through, smooth the surface, and prepare it and cut the new pipe perfectly. All of this work took between two and three hours. Now, our upstairs bathtub drain works perfectly and we avoided a serious problem later with drainage into the ceiling of our finished basement.

Seth of American Sewer arrived on time and fixed the problem. He was competent, friendly and a straight-shooter in explaining what caused the problem, and how to avoid it in the future. (He's also a hard-core Vikings fan). Based on my experience, I would whole-heartedly recommend American Sewer and Seth!

Jonathan sent a tech over who did a great job. He let us know that there was a sock in the laundry tub drain. Knowing what caused the problem helps us prevent it from reoccurring (we will just use a mesh laundry bag for socks). We appreciate that he not only did a great job, he was punctual, professional, and cleaned up the mess. What more can you ask?

It went very well. He had to run the snake through the kitchen drain twice (the drain was really bad). He also ran a camera through the main drain to make sure it was clear and did a good job of cleaning up. The door opening to my basement is about 26" wide. The tech that came out didn't have any trouble getting his equipment through the opening; however, he mentioned that another tech had a bigger machine and it might not have fit through the door as easily. It might be helpful to measure your door openings so that they can make sure their equipment will fit through it easily. I would definitely hire American Sewer again.

It took two days and got really messy. The negative was the job done to get the basement back to an orderly state. The basement was left a message with wet concrete all over walls and pulled carpet.

An estimate of $500 to $1000 for the job. Appointment was cancelled due price, manholes are not currently clogged up. We are a non-profit, and my boss said he will ask volunteers to help save church some cost. I rated a "C" due to price, I would have chosen N/A if option was available.
Description of Work: Need to have two private sewer manholes cleaned: 1 manhole only plugged in winter due to frozen water. 2nd manhole occasionally plugged up or drain too slowly due to soil or landscape pebbles got into it.
