A1 Sewer Cleaning Specialists

The day I called A-1, they said they could have someone out the next morning. I had to ask them to postpone the visit one day. They arrived promptly in the morning the following day. The time from arrival to departure was around 4 hours. They did exactly what I was hoping they could do. I gave As across the board. For the services performed, I think the price was fair. The main reason I called A-1 was their reputation for doing a quality job. They did that and they will be the first company we contact in the future if their services are needed again.

Company came day after we called because of blocked storm sewer. They had quoted a price of approximately $150, but when they tried to clean out the drain, they ran into mud. Since they were unable to complete the job, they charged us nothing! We were amazed! If I can ever find a job they can do, we will certainly call them back.Tri

They were extremely reasonably priced; they were half the price when compared to the other quotes. They didn’t try and make us ay for things we didn’t need. They just gave us what me exactly we needed. They were in and out in a day, and it was great. They were excellent.

I highly recommend this company to anyone needing a sewage cleaning job done at their home.

they showed up on time with the equipment needed. rotorooter was onsite and were trying to block them from working. we got around the "obstacles" and they did the job as expected. would highly recommend them to anyone.

Had what I thought was a broken hot water heater after finding standing water in 2 separate storage areas of a partially finished basement. Turns out it was drain overflow into 3 separate areas of a semi-finished basement. And it had been happening repeatedly for over a week and I didn't know it. The company responded to my call within a half hour and was at the house in less than an hour as they were already in the area. Unfortunately the problem was more major than plugged drains. They were able to clean the drains and then advised me on the next step, which is outside of their area of expertise. So now I'm using Angie's List to find a plumber with excavation experience (the problem is outside the house) and a remediation cleanup team.

Call them for confidence. They came out and did a great job. We were really happy.

I made the initial phone call mid-day on a Saturday. I did reach what appeared to be an answering service which took all of my information down and asked if it was an emergency that needed to be handled immediately. Being that it was the weekend, there would have been an extra 80 dollar charge for the emergency call. I decided to hold off until Monday morning. First thing Monday morning at 8 am I received phone calls from two of the a1 employees. I had already headed out to work for the day, so was unable to connect with them. At 2 pm I phoned and said I would be leaving work. They said they would have someone out within the next hour. Promptly at 2 30 pm they arrived and performed the service needed. It was a half hour job, and everything appears to be working fine. If needed I would call these guys back to do further work. Punctual, Professional, and clean!

We phoned A1 sewer in the morning, left a message with the answering service. We received a call back with in a half an hour from the time of the call. They scheduled an appointment the same day and they did come within the scheduled time. They came into my home with the equipment. We spoke about the problem. Showed them were the problem was. They started the job quickly. Fixed the problem. They explained what the problem was and spoke about what we can do in the future so that this hopefully does not happened again. They were very professional. I would call them again in the future and would recommend them to anyone. The cost was very reasonable.

Everything has been fine. They are very good to work with and I like them because there is no conflict of interest. They do one thing; clean pipes. That is all they do.

I believe the sewer cleaning went well

In August I called another firm Rotor Rooter) to look at my sewer which was running very slow and overflowing when the washing machine was used. They used a video camera and told me thta the sewer was clogged with roots and needed dug up at a cost of $8000.00. I then called A1 who came out and said they could not locate the trap and without finding the trap they would be afraid to augur it. They needed to video it and would charge around $200.00. They charge nothing for this visit. After trying to use chemicals to kill the roots for several months I again called A1. This time they were able to locate the trap without the video camera and cleaned the sewer. They charged $160.00 which was less than Rotor Rooter charged to do nothing. They were prompt, friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend A1 to anyone with a sewer problem.

Two men arrived at the scheduled time and went right to work with their power auger. They worked for about a half hour and removed debris and about five foot long roots from my shrubs that had infiltrated the line. They rechecked the line to ensure that everything had been cleared and the drain flowed freely. They were friendly and very good at their job. I would definitely use them again.

Sewer line from the house to the street was blocked. I asked crew to call me at work about an hour before they would arrive at my house. They called and were waiting in the driveway when I arrived 50 minutes later. They had the sewer cleaned in about a half and hour and charged the agreed upon price. Provide a 60 day warranty on the work performed.

Very well. They answered all the questions they could and tried they best to fulfill obligations.

Excellent. They quickly responded to my call to determine what I needed. They gave me the date and approximate time of the crew's arrival, and the crew themselves called me on the day of my appointment to give me an even more definitive time. The guys were prompt, professional, efficient, and very easy to talk with. They snaked and checked my sewer line, and sealed an open drain hole I pointed out to them for no extra charge. They left the work area spotless. I will use them again and definitely recommend them to others. The cost was a bit high, but then again, what isn't these days. Which reminds me that they also gladly accepted a $5 off coupon I got off Angie's List site. Thanks, A-1!

Called in the morning for a clogged tub. Called me back within 15 minutes to set up a time frame to come and do the work. Mike was actually a bit early which worked out great for me. He came in and explained what he was going to do, started working and finished in about a 1/2 hr. He kept things neat and clean and was very professional and personable. I will definitely recommed A1 to family and friends and will have them back again if I need to.

I had a plulmber come and clean out the sewer. He found a small root and told me that the whole front yard needed to be dug up with a backhoe and that all of the pipes needed to be replaced. I remembered years ago having the same problem at one of my rental properties and I called A-1 and they were able to clean out the sewers, so I called them again. The technician, Mark, showed up the very next day - spent several hours cleaning out the sewers and found a blockage and was able to clear it. Not ONLY did he clear everything out - BUT I saved a huge amount of money by NOT having to dig up the front yard. Before you call any of those other companiesi that advertise the $99.00 special - CALL A-1 ... before you dig - CALL A-1 - you won't be sorry.

They came out when I called. They were timely and worked efficiently. I was very happy with their services.

They were wonderful. They could have been a little lower on the price. The quality of the work they did was excellent. They were great.

Two workers arrived at the scheduled time, which was helpful since my wife had taken the afternoon off from work. The workers were quite knowledgeable, explaining before they started work that based upon where we live and their prior experience in the neighborhood, they had a good sense for the characteristics of our piping system. They quickly accessed our main sewer line and confirmed that the line was pretty significantly blocked by tree roots that had gotten into the terra cotta piping at the joints. The workers were also able to confirm that none of the piping had collapsed and the the full extent of the problem was at the piping joints. After the workers had been at it for a while, they called my wife downstairs and explained, in the interest of full disclosure, that they had been working for about an hour, that they had at least another hour of work left, and what the hourly rate was for their team. My wife found this part rather funny, since they were halfway through their work and it was not as though she would have told them to stop based upon the cost, but we appreciated it nonetheless that the workers were sensitive to their hourly rates and wanted to avoid a "sticker shock" reaction when they handed her the bill. A-1 did great work, as evidenced at least by the dense cluster of tree roots that they cut and pulled out of the piping. The guys were hard-working, friendly, and professional. After the work was done, they also offered to clean up the slight mess caused by pulling the roots out (my wife told them not to worry about it, but it was still a nice touch for them to offer). Although the hourly rate seemed high, our sense is that it is fairly consistent with other companies. It is also worth noting that the workers only charged us for two hours of work, even though they wroked closer to three hours. We were very happy with A-1's work and professionalism, and we will not hesitate to use A-1 again.

They showed up the same day I called. They did a great job in a short amount of time. I would recommend them in the future to family and friends.

Mike removed the cement from around the bottom of our downspouts (where they meet the drainpipes), ran water down the drainpipes, and listened and watched the flow of water to make sure the pipes were clear. It turns out they were clear and the water coming into our garage is coming from another source. Mike mixed some concrete and re-cemented around the base of the downspouts.

Contacted A1 on 5/25/2011 morning to clean sewer and storm drains. Someone from A1 called back in couple hours and proposed to come on Tuesday 5/31/2011 morning between 8-9:30am. I agreed. A1 called again on Wednesday evening and confirmed that they will come Tuesday morning between 8-9:30am. A1 also told me that someone will call between 8-8:30 on Tuesday morning to let me know when they will be coming. I did not receive any phone call till 9am. I called A1 and the foreman told me that I will be contacted soon. I received a call few minutes later from A1. Did not give me a name but told me that they can not come this morning. Asked me to reschedule. When I told him that I wished they would have called earlier or not confirm the appointment, the rep from A1 told me that "this is life and things change from day to day." He also told me that if I do not like it, I can take my business elsewhere.

Our driveway drain was completely blocked, flooding our garage. I called them first thing Monday morning and they came out right away. They immediately cleared the blockage that had caused the flooding but then kept snaking the drain until they found out where it ended. We've lived in the house for 12 years, and we even had a plumber put in that driveway drain, but no one ever knew where the drain went, although it seemed to work and not to drain into the sanitary sewer system (per a dye test). The snake finally came right out of the ground on the hillside behind our house. They shoveled to clear the end of the drain, which had been completely covered over by dirt. Now we have a drain that is clear at both ends, easing our minds considerably. A-1 also loosened the filter cover on our garage drain, which had been rusted shut, and verified that it was clear.
