Services
Septic Pumping
Our septic pumping service removes waste buildup from residential and commercial tanks using advanced equipment. Regular maintenance prevents system failures and extends lifespan. We recommend biennial service for homes and more frequent intervals for businesses.
Sewer Cleaning
We clear clogged sewer lines with camera inspections to identify blockages, then remove debris or repair damaged pipes. This prevents backups and maintains proper flow. Maintenance schedules reduce emergency risks for property owners.
Portable Toilets
We supply clean, accessible portable toilets for events, construction sites, and temporary needs. Options include flushable units, handicapped-accessible models, and scented varieties. Regular maintenance ensures hygiene and convenience for guests or workers.
Pump Repair
Our technicians service and install septic pumps for mound systems, ensuring efficient waste transfer. Gould Pump factory-trained staff diagnose issues and replace faulty components. Regular maintenance prevents costly system failures and downtime.
Septic Inspections
NAWT-certified inspectors assess septic tank condition, drain field performance, and regulatory compliance. We identify leaks, structural damage, or inefficiencies. These evaluations help homeowners plan maintenance and avoid environmental hazards.

This business Should Not Be in business. After showing up at the End of a work day, and Doing nothing to help, we were told they would be back first thing in the morning to help with our clogged sewer line. Here we are 4 days later, and No One EVER showed up, Or even had the common decency to call us. SO UNPROFESSIONAL
After 30 years of service, You're FIRED.

I used another drain cleaning company to unclog a pipe and they could not get the clog. I ended up calling A-1on the weekend and they fixed the clogged drain in a timely manner and explained everything they were doing as they did it. They were very professional and pleasant to deal with.

Destroyed my garage drain years ago. Drove an industrial snake into the drain, broke through the elbow and drove the snake into the ground under my foundation. They couldnt get the snake out, cut it off, and drove away. Has been worse every year since then with standing water from snow melt off vehicles.
