Honest and truly, you could not ask for a better company to do business with. A-1 Quality Septic and Drain is truly incredible!! This is the second time we've had an emergency at our house on Duane Lake. Both times A-1 answered the phone and came right out. Our latest emergency was on New Year's Day 2020. Without hesitation, they took our call and were at the property within 30 minutes. Everyone at A-1 goes out of their way to be of help and service…always going above and beyond. We thank Gene for coming out on New Year’s Day to empty our septic and Johnathan for resolving our drain issues. We are truly grateful and thankful for the excellent work you do for us! We look forward to working with you again in the Spring when we re-plumb the bathroom and address drainage at the property.

Repaired our Septic System a few years back for a competitive price and has worked great since. Always there for service and support.Posted on Amandabeth SalwayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing company to work with. Called them Tuesday this week and was scheduled for same week for the pump out. Easy to work with. Amazing communication. We thought we dug out the correct place for the cap, it snowed this week, and we missed by a mile we found out when they came out. My husband wound up finding cap within 30 minutes of them leaving. They did a couple more calls and came back same day. Had us cleaned out and good to go. I love that they are also located in Rotterdam so we were able to support locally. I will highly recommend them if anyone needs their septic pumped!Posted on Anthony SpackmannTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would give 6 stars if I could! Had trouble with my distribution box on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and Gene came out Sunday morning! Very knowledgeable and professional! Will recommend to everyone!Posted on Daniel HotzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Life savers!!!!!!! Had a family party starting at 4, septic backed up at 230.

I placed a call to a well known septic company in my area and they blew me off TWICE!! (No call No show) Then I called A1, spoke to Rebecca and they were here the next day to pump my septic! Really nice to have a reliable company and excellent communication. Would definitely recommend this family owed company!!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dry well and how does it work?
A dry well (also called a seepage pit) is an underground structure that receives treated liquid effluent from a septic tank and allows it to slowly soak into the surrounding soil. It is typically a perforated container made of concrete, plastic, or stone and surrounded by gravel to aid filtration. Dry wells act as a vertical drainage field, helping disperse wastewater safely below ground while preventing surface pooling and drainage problems.
How do I know if I need a dry well on my property?
You may need a dry well if you notice soggy areas near septic discharge points, slow drainage, or signs your system is struggling to disperse wastewater properly. Properties with limited yard space, poor natural drainage, or older septic system designs often benefit from a dry well. An inspection by a septic professional can determine whether a dry well would improve system performance and help prevent future issues.
How long does a dry well installation typically take?
The duration of a dry well installation can vary depending on factors such as the size of the system, soil conditions, and the complexity of the project. Generally, a basic dry well installation can be completed in 1-2 days. However, more complex systems or those requiring extensive excavation may take longer. At A-1 Quality Septic & Drain, we provide accurate time estimates after assessing your specific needs.
