 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was so worried my whole septic system was failing because we had a small backup for the second time in 3 months on Monday night. Tuesday morning I called A-1 and Rebecca asked question and told me told me her son Brandon would be over sometime that same day.  He came onlyt a few hours later and almost immediately after my questions figured out that we have a House Trap, which is something no other Septic company told me since I bought my house.  Turns out it was SO CLOGGED and he cleaned it out.  He and Nico answered all of my questions, reassured me and then made sure I had his information for any future drain issues. Not only were they responsive when I called, but the speed with which they responded was great as I was worried about any other leaks.  I called a different company that same morning and they said someone would call me later that day, it's Thursday and I never heard back. Would recommend them, not only for septic services but the fact that Brandon does the plumbing work through his company means I don't have to call two separate companies!

Scheduling an appointment was fast and easy. They showed up when promised and got things done quickly and cleanly. Everyone I spoke to was polite and friendly. I plan on using them again for my next service.

Their inspection before the purchase saved me thousands in future repairs. They have always been honest and through. Scheduling has always been super easy and within the same week. A family owned and operated business from an awesome family.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Firstly, A-1 Quality Septic and Drain is a family run business. I would highly recommend them to everyone.  They went above and beyond to help my husband and myself.  We needed a new Leach field.  They came and pumped us out for free until they could get the permit from the city, which took a long time.  They even came out on Memorial Day because they were in our area and pumped us out.  What other company does that????  AMAZING!  Always polite and so very nice.  Gene And Brandon, we’re both so very helpful and nice.  We just had a great experience having them at our home.  Rebecca was wonderful, helpful and just a delight to talk to on the phone.  You can’t go wrong with this company.  Hard-working, family Oriented and just all around great people.  We will forever be grateful to have found them, and will be having them back.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the hard work.  Do not hesitate to call this company because I’m sure you will be pleased just as we were.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jacob was an honest and fair inspector. My septic system was failed by another company who quoted an extremely costly replacement. Jacob identified the root problem instead of suggesting a whole system replacement that saved us thousands of dollars. A-1 septic is honest and fair and do not rip off customers! Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my septic tank pumped?

The frequency of septic tank pumping depends on factors such as household size, tank size, and water usage. Generally, it’s recommended to pump your septic tank every 3-5 years. However, for more accurate guidance, it’s best to consult with our professionals at A-1 Quality Septic & Drain.

What are the signs that my septic tank needs pumping?

Signs that your septic tank may need pumping include slow draining fixtures, gurgling sounds in pipes, bad odors around drains or in the yard, wet spots in the yard, and sewage backups. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to contact us promptly to avoid more serious issues.

Can I use chemical additives instead of pumping my septic tank ?

While some chemical additives claim to reduce the need for pumping, they are not a substitute for regular septic tank pumping. These products may actually harm your septic system by killing beneficial bacteria. We recommend sticking to a regular pumping schedule to ensure the longevity and proper function of your septic system.
