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. They were on their way back from Oneonta, able to make it here before 4 pm. Love this Family!!!!!!!!Posted on Robert Wilber jrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

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
How long does a septic tank installation typically take?
The duration of a septic system installation can vary depending on factors such as property size, soil conditions, and system complexity. Generally, a standard residential septic system installation takes about 3-5 days. This includes excavation, tank placement, drain field installation, and final inspections. We’ll provide you with a more accurate timeline based on your specific project requirements.
What factors determine the cost of septic tank installation?
Several factors influence the cost of septic system installation, including property size, soil type, system capacity, local regulations, and accessibility. Key cost components include site evaluation, permits, materials (tank, pipes, gravel), excavation, labor, and any necessary landscaping restoration. We offer free estimates to provide you with an accurate cost based on your unique situation and requirements.
How often should a newly installed septic tank be inspected or maintained?
After installation, it’s recommended to have your septic system inspected every 3-5 years by a professional. Regular maintenance, such as pumping the tank, typically occurs every 3-5 years as well, depending on household size and water usage. However, it’s important to monitor your system for any signs of trouble and contact us immediately if you notice issues like slow drains, unpleasant odors, or wet spots in your yard.
