After my basement flooded due to roots in my main sewer line I initially contacted a well known national company. They came out promptly but upon arrival the plummer wrote up an estimate for nearly $1000.00 I asked him to pack up his stuff and leave. Unbelievable. I then looked on Angie's List and found good reviews for American Sewer. They came out the following morning and arrived within the time frame they specified. The plumber took precautions to protect my basement carpet by laying down tarps along the route he needed to take through the house to complete the work. He provided a quote of $215 before he began the work, executed it promptly and did not leave a mess behind. Better yet he stuck to his price estimate. This is a good company that recognizes the value of treating their customers with respect and does it at more than fair price. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Cleared main line to the street and cleared two bathroom drains.

The guy that came out was fantastic, made a follow up call with our city, the city had another plumber come out and confirmed what the original contractor had told us. I had purchased a big deal for $99 for main sewer line cleaning and they let me put that $99 towards the work.

After a few trips to the local home improvement store and my own attempts to unclog the kitchen sink, first using a chemical drain cleaner and then an auger, I threw in the towel and decided to hire a plumber. I had no idea who to call in my area so I went online and joined Angie's list. Am I glad I did. I called American Sewer and the plumber was at my door within a couple of hours. He was courteous and professional and got the job done in plenty of time for me to make dinner. Great job!

They went out of their way to do a tremendous job. They went above the call of duty. It was a blockage that extended way out toward the main line (120 feet out) and he cleared it.
Description of Work: I had a sewage backup and they had to get through that to get to the clog. The one plumber, Seth, worked on it for 4-5 hours.

It was fine. I didn't pay more than $124. They fixed some kind of valve issue, the water would run. Afterwards we just had a leak in the bottom of the toilet, so somehow they had to resit the stool .

He was prompt and Courteous. He used the proper sized blade for the pipe size to ensure no damage would occur to our pipes. He ensured completeness of the job, by double checking. He left out home clean. I will use his service again, especially over RotoRooter. Thanks for the great job!

One of the drains leaked after and they had to return to tighten my bathroom sink. One week later another drain backed up to my kitchen sink. He had to go through a bedroom closet to clean the kitchen drain, which lead to damaged shoes and clothes.

Response from American Sewer
Thank you for your review ..I am very sympathetic and understand. The line was long without us knowing and the clean out was in your closet. it is a 80 ft kitchen line not 50. We have made a new policy that if we even touch a clean out in a closet with clothes... no matter how full ,it is all coming out until we proceed. every last bit! why? because my technician did not make a mistake in what he did with the cap, but as soon as he tightened it slightly the pvc hub cracked a hairline and it was under load so it sprayed on your belongings. We sent mr lee to replace the cracked pvc and he put in abs a little more flexible over time material. You were very kind to me on the phone despite the situation and i have been waiting to hear back Please call me if you ever need something as I know exactly needs to be done on that line and am more than happy to try to help. -Jonathan

Prefect! I attempted to improve the slow tub/sink draining resulting in it becoming completely clogged - no more showers! Call Jonathan, and he was able to come out the next day. He kept in contact about where he was and his estimated time of arrival. Jonathan resolved the issue w/o much problem. I would not have been able to fix it. Next time I will not waste my time, but instead pick up the phone and call American Sewer.

I was babysitting grandkids and needed them before their window of time. They came within 30 minutes and spent hours at my home! Jon wouldn't leave until I was assured the problem wouldn't happen again. Because Jon could see from his camera that my issues also included the city of Blooomington, he suggested calling them and involving them in the final result. All of that took place before 9 p.m., my issue was resolved and I am most thankful for his persistence getting to the real cause of my problem.

This is my first use of theis company. When I called they were very pleasant and scheduled my appointment quickly. The day of the appointment they actually arrived early, but had called to let me know when they would be here. He cleaned the drain after having to do some extra work and quickly came to the first floor bathroom to do some work on the toilet, All was accomplished within the $89.00 charge time. The young man did a really good job and was vey pleasant. I would definately use them again and recommend them to others.
