I cannot recomend A1 Sewer Cleaning enough. Roto-Rooter spent over 3 hours trying to unclog the sewer line but we unable. A1 came the following morning and the drain was cleared in less than a half hour. They even hosed the basement floor afterwards. Mel and Curtis did the work and were awsome. I wood highly recommend them.

They snaked the bath tub and a vent on the roof. The problem was old cast iron pipes in the basement that needed to be replaced by a plumber. They are not plumbers but if you need a drain opened I highly recommend that you call them first. They did not charge anything because the drain could not be opened without pipe replacement. They were very professional and knowledgeable.

We were really happy with these guys. The first time we ever used them the sewer access was blocked and they couldn't get the scope in and so they didn't charge us even though they came out to the house and spent time trying to get the scope through. We used them again for a different property and they did a great job.

We set an appointment with Adam from A1 sewer to have a sewer camera inspection for a home we were considering purchasing. Before the scheduled time Adam contacted us to ask if we were paying for the inspection or if the seller was. Against his own interests he told us that in the area we were considering purchasing the seller is required to provide a sewer inspection, a fact our realtor failed to inform us of. This may have cost him our business on this home but went a long way in gaining our trust. We did not end up purchasing the home, but when we put our next offer in we will be using A1 because they showed that they have our best interest at heart. I look forward to doing business with them in the near future.

I first called a nationally branded competitor who would not quote on phone and on arrival quoted $325, I declined. Found A-1 on Angie's List, called, lady gave an approx. quote of $169; was told 1-2 hour wait, 2 man crew arrived in just one hour, very courteous, did a fast and thorough job in a messy situation and left the place amazingly clean, and then only asked for $159. I'm impressed, I'm happy, and I think this is the first review of ever written on angieslist in years of membership

We placed a call in late morning and it was returned that afternoon. We scheduled a time for someone to come to the house. Mel and Dale arrived exactly as planned. They checked everything; nothing was broken. They cleaned and flushed out the pipe. Both men were very professional, knowledgeable, and also very courteous and pleasant to deal with.
Description of Work: Our downspout was clogged and we thought the storm sewer was collapsed and would need to be replaced.

After heavy rains on Friday evening, my basement flooded for the 3rd time this year. I called A-1 Sewer on Sunday and my call was returned on Monday morning. Josh was sent to deal with the sewer problem and after toiling in the hot sun for about 45 minutes, he had cleared some tree roots and then hit a blockage that he could not get through. Doing a video inspection he found a break in the main sewer line. Because he could not clear the blockage, though no fault of his, there was NO CHARGE. Now, what company does that?? Recommended a plumber to repair line who came the next day and dug up the line and repaired it. I was more than happy with service that I received and plan on having A-1 come on an annually basis to "snake" the drain to hopefully avoid future problems.

Fantastic - Easy call to schedule, prompt follow-up, arrived as scheduled, and the sewer line inspection was completed quickly. Identified a problem in the line, saving me a very expensive surprise down the road. I was given a flash drive of the inspection video with a narration of the problem and their contact information. Will be calling them again if I ever have a need!

Always has gone well. The technicians have both a snake with a root cutting head as well as a fiber optic camera to inspect the line and make sure everything is going properly. Fast and efficient.
Description of Work: Have used this excellent firm for 9 years. Called them initially in 2008 for a clogged sewer in our 100+ year old home and they opened it immediately. Regular scheduled return visits to keep the line clear of roots have all gone well. Most recent visit was today. Curtiss did an exceptional job as planned. We have recommended this firm to many friends and everyone has been pleased.

They were great. They found that the sewer lines in the house that I am buying were no longer functioning properly. Their test saved me thousands of dollars and helped me have the necessary repairs done before closing on the house.

- This is not the first time I've used A1, I've used their services at least 1x per year for tree roots in the main sewer line. - All of their staff are consistently professional/on-time/courteous and they always provide helpful information regarding cause/prevention, etc. - They respond quickly, and are generally able to accommodate same-day service, even for non-emergency. - Their work is always excellent. - A1 provides an estimate by phone, I've never been surprised by hidden fees. - I trust their recommendations, they do not recommend unnecessary services and they explain the limitations/benefits of services. - I recommend A1 to anyone who asks, and have had their services recommended to me by many people. - A1 is a very professional, reasonably-priced service, and the staff are experienced and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: Main line snaked/cleaned due to root growth/blockage. Curtis responded - he was professional, fast and answered a number of related questions to help me minimize future issues. Excellent, friendly service, and cleanup was meticulous. $160 to snake/clear main line (lateral) from house to street, plus additional connecting lines.
