Dear A-1 Plumbing, Thank you for the immediate response to my stopped-up toilet. Your quickness to respond single-handedly saved my daughter's 13th birthday party.

AWESOME WORK!!! After going through a lot of trouble to organize a meeting at my home, I was horrified to discover that only three hours before everyone was supposed to meet up for dinner, my bathroom sink was stopped up and it seemed Draino just wasn't getting the job done. A-1 Plumbing came in and took care of the clog, cleaned up after themselves, and the issue was fixed with plenty of time to spare. They're my new go-to guys.

Video Inspection
We provide video inspection to determine the exact location of the blockage
Sewers Cleaning
We clean sewers using our video inspection device, or a high powered water jet apparatus, (flail jet), or a saw root cutter.
Sewer Installation and Replacement
Having located the source of the clogged or broken pipe, and determined that it is an outside line, we excavate down to the broken segment. We replace old and broken sewers with new durable hard to damage and long lasting PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) piping that comes with a long warranty
Causes of Sewer Line Clogging:
- Flushing of "flushable" wipes, toilet paper, and personal products which get caught on the Burrs, and corroded interior of old cast iron pipes
- Tree root invasion into sewer lines – especially during periods of drought when tree roots grow out in search of water
- Corrosion and break down of old cast iron pipes, with subsequent inability to drain
Signs of Sewer Line Clogging:
- Slow Flushing Toilet
- Drain backup - Refuse flushed down the toilet or down a drain, will reflux into the sink, tub, shower, or other outlet
Trenchless sewer line repair:
Generally this type of repair will cost twice the price of traditional repair, where we dig down to the pipe and make an external repair. If your pipe is located underneath an expensive garage, patio, driveway or other structure, then we will recommend trenchless repair
