A1 Quality Rooter is a plumbing and sewer business whose website lists service towns including Meriden, Cheshire, Southington, Waterbury and Wolcott, and says it has been in business 45 years. A recent Google customer said a previous company charged over $700, failed to unplug the pipes with its snake and quoted $7,145 to jackhammer the basement floor; Joe showed up with the proper snake and unplugged it, and that customer said they received a 30-day guarantee. A recent customer whose kitchen sink line was clogged with grease said A1 cleared it at a much more reasonable price than they had predicted. A recent customer said A-1 repaired a water main leak in less than a day, and named John and his son John Jr. A recent customer said the company helped their general contractor find the sewer line, found two holes in it, and came within two business days to repair it and lay an asphalt patch. A 2025 customer said Joe spent two hours at the house getting every tree branch out of the sewer line. A 2024 customer said Joe came out during a snow storm to clean a clogged main sewer line and explained why it had clogged. A 2024 customer said they hydro jetted a storm drain and showed up exactly when they said they would. A 2023 customer who had washed something with batting said they climbed on top of two oil tanks to reach the main pipe, cleared it, then took the first-floor toilet off to clear that drain pipe. In a 2021 review, a customer said A-1 dug up the yard to repair a damaged main sewer line, provided detailed notes and pictures of the damage, and afterward put down new grass seed. A 2023 customer called the price decent at 400+ for an unclog.
Ed Santiago was the gentleman who came out to service my line and he was very knowledgeable of what he was doing and asked a question he had an answer for and that was refreshing considering all that I have been through in the past year… Will definitely recommend your company to any who ask, And for any of my future needs.. Thank you!!!!!
This company saved our day and wallet. The previous company not only charged us over $700 and didn't unplug the pipes with their snake, but told us the only solution was to jack hammer the basement floor to remove the house trap that was going to cost us $7,145!!!! Joe (A1) showed up and use the PROPER snake, unplugged it, flushed the toilet, ran the water on the bathtub and even drained the washing machine. They also gave us a 30 days guarantee. Highly recommend them for serious clogged pipes situations 👏
We had a nightmare scenario where the previous owners must have been dumping grease down the kitchen sink. I used my own drain tools, rented drain tools, tried natural remedies, and tried chemicals. No luck. A1 came in with even bigger tools and were able to clear it out, and at a much more reasonable price than I would have predicted. Very pleased.
A-1 Quality Rooter repaired my water main leak in less than a day and did a great job doing it. The workers were very professional and courteous, left the area in good a condition. John and his son John Jr. were more than helpful.
It must be a pre-requisite to be a delight to work for A1 Quality Rooter because everyone I interacted with was wonderful. From Johnny to Helen to Joe and Pete everyone was professional and friendly. After initially coming to our house to help our general contractor find our sewer line and finding two holes in it I was so overwhelmed. The team came within two business days to get everything repaired and did a wonderful job doing an asphalt patch. Would recommend this company to anyone needing plumbing / sewer help!
