Jon was great, I thought I needed my main sewer line fixed, but when he got here, he quickly discovered the real problem, which was a laundry room drain. He fixed the drain, and also cleaned out my bathtub drain. Both were great, he was neat, professional, and will be my go to person with any other drain problems.

I searched Angies list for a local drain cleaner, found a couple guys, American Sewer was responsive and available. He came out we chatted while he worked, ran a 100 feet into the sewer line and pulled it out. It was perfectly uneventful, I plan on having him come out every year for to clear tree roots from my sewer line.

Jonathan responded right away when I was trying to schedule. He showed up on time, was extremely professionaly and took the time to explain things to me. The other thing that I really appreciated was his honesty. I was nervous that I would have to make the decision on whether or not to have work done w/o my husband around but because everything was explained to me and Jon even mentioned that nothing had to be done at this time, I felt very comfortable. We will definitely hire him back!!
Description of Work: I purchased an Angie's Deal for toilet tune up, sewer video and drain cleaning.

American Sewer is the best! The main drain pipe in the basement backed up just before the holiday weekend, so we were worried that we would have to move my 93-year-old mom out of her house for the weekend. We called American Sewer and they were very helpful. Their service was excellent: they were able to unblock the pipe that day, and explained that there are tree roots blocking the main pipe. So more work will have to be done later, but their service was on the mark and allowed us to manage till we can get the bigger problem fixed. They explained everything and remedied the problem efficiently. We wouldn't hesitate to call them again!

Called Jonathan on Tuesday, 6/5/2012 after reading good reviews on Angie's List. He said he would be over Wednesday 6/6/2012 between 8 and 10 AM. He called back in a short time saying he had a cancellation and could do it 6/5/2012 the same day I called. He was there in about half an hour. He put a runner on my basement stairs to keep the stairs clean and moved his equipment down. He worked on the main line about an hour. He knew what he was doing and the job was well done. I will definitely have him do the cleanout again as it seems to need it every 2 years. My previous cleanouts were in 2008 and 2010 at a much higher price by a large company.
Description of Work: Main sewer line was clogged with roots causing backup. Jonathan, the owner, performed the cleanout by running cable into line for 100' cutting out the roots that caused the backup.

Jonathan was very responsive and punctual. He was very respectful of my home (i.e. offered to wear boot covers, was very careful not to hit the walls with his equipment). I purchased the "big deal" including video inspection and a main line clean-out. After video inspection, no clean-out was necessary. Since I still had some time remaining, Jonathan asked if there was anything else we were having trouble with, or had concerns about, and he advised me on how to repair a toilet flange that I am in the process of replacing.
Description of Work: Video inspection of main sewer line. Determined that clean-out was not necessary.

I bought one of the Angie's List deals which included sewer cleaning and inspection for $99. I don't know what the original price is; but, I was VERY happy with the company. The work was done on my parents' house (in Minneapolis) which had just been sold but not closed. Buyers requested that the sewer be cleaned before the closing. I called the company before I bought the coupon to make sure they could schedule the work immediately (though there was no sewer problem). I believe I talked with Jonathan and he scheduled me immediately. I was VERY thankful because we were running out of time to get the job done. I was not able to be home when they arrived, but our renter was there. I got a call explaining what would be done and I got a call again after the work was completed. Our renter (a contractor, himself) told me he was VERY impressed with the work and that he would remember the name as well. Thank you SO much for being on time, doing a great job and helping us out.

Jonathan was on time, as professional as you could want and did everything I asked. My house is nearly 200' from the street and required two trucks worth of snake to clean out the sewer. Jonathan was very concerned to be sure he did everything thoroughly and in a way that he could be proud of. The end product is, I know I have a drain that will not give me a problem for a long, long time. When there was a question about pricing from me, Jonathan bent over backwards to make sure I felt fairly treated. I would never question using Jonathan, he is first rate and takes what he does very seriously.
Description of Work: Ran a camera down the sewer line to the street, then ran a cleaner all the way to the street.

Went well. Line looked clear and no sewer line cleaning was necessary.
Description of Work: I had purchased an Angie's Deal for main sewer line cleaning and video inspection. There was no sewer back up but I wanted preventative service since it had been a couple years since we had the main line cleaned out. Jon did the video inspection first and found out that there was no clog and no issues needing a main line clean.

Our basement has been humid for several years and we suspected that there was a crack or hole in the main sewer pipe. Jonathan ran a camera through the system and we were delighted to see that the drain had no cracks or damage and looked cleaner than my last colonoscopy! There were no roots to clean out but the camera work was worth every cent of the Big Deal. Jonathan also had a lot of good common sense information about basements, drain systems, humidity, etc.
Description of Work: Jonathan ran a camera from the stack to the street and through the house and out the roof. No root removal was necessary.

I received an Angie's List Big Deal notice via e-mail. We have been in our home for about 4 years – the house we previously lived in had to have the main line cleaned every year, so we had been thinking about having our line inspected and cleaned. I called Jonathan at American Sewer. He said he could be at the house in 30 minutes! He was polite and personable. He came in and got the job done. I can't say enough about his professionalism. I would definitely call him again.
Description of Work: Inspected the main line with video. Replaced the cap.

.Jon answered my call himself. He understood the issue at my home and arrived the next day as arranged. It took him exactly the time he estimated. He then contacted the City of Bloomington so they were aware of his work in case it had an impact on the City lines in the street. He then charged me exactly what he estimated. What more can one ask?

It was overall an "A". Joe showed up on time, got the issue fixed, and when he left you did not know he had been in the house.
Description of Work: Our toilet was clogged the plunger and 6ft snake did not change the fact it was clogged. Joe was very quick to respond and determined where the clog was. He made sure I knew what was needed and was great in explaining/showing me where the issue was. I really liked the fact the Joe was giving me options and was working with me to let me know what needed to be done. He was good about not "up-selling" / "scarring" me into more then was needed. He also was careful in not making a mess and making sure he cleaned up.
