Get matched with top storm drain installation pros in Summit, NJ

"They encountered a problem that did not respond to the standard treatment, so they had to work longer, "figure it out", and bring in other equipment. They did, and they refused to charge me any more than their standard price for drain clearing. Outstanding service."

"Our drains were seriously clogged, and it was causing so much stress. Thankfully, we called ProsWay Plumbing, and they sent out a plumber right away. I was impressed by how professional he was from start to finish. You could see his expertise at work as he diagnosed the issue and cleared it out. Great experience, and it is such a relief to have it fixed!"

"This was a longstanding leak worked by several contractors over the years. AJT said sensible things and did sensible things and, knock on wood, it's finally fixed. I've had half a dozen people out on it over the years. The leak was in a second floor kitchen, under a dormer for a third floor kitchen. AJT came out and said they need to send a crew out to spray water on the roof and see if it would leak. First people to offer that. No joy, no charge. Just before Christmas 2018 we got a 24 hour rainstorm that was enough to get the roof leaking. They came back, poked a hole in the second floor ceiling, poked a hole in the third floor kitchen wall and found water leaking through the wall from the roof over the third floor and through to the second. No sign on the third floor. They installed an new roof on the 6x10 foot flat roof on the third floor dormer. Said the old roof was too short (it may have shrunk, predates my time owning the house). Came through the latest storm without a problem. Thoroughly impressed by how clean the second floor kitchen was after they had to take a load of cellulose insulation in the face opening the ceiling."

"Did a great job, thorough, good cleanup and were careful not to make a mess on our main floor. Came back afterwards to flash the french drain to see if that helped reduce our radon levels. Really nice guys, would highly recommend."

"The storm that hit Monmouth County on 7/22/19 caused a voltage spike in my home.It ruined the compressor in my air conditioner. When the repair tech came to my home on 7/23/19 the voltage was still very high. Artic Air ordered a new compressor. When it was delivered to them, they contacted me to let me know it was in. They could install it if the voltage was low enough. They were able to determine that the voltage was acceptable, and they installed the compressor that day. Artic Air went out of their way to keep me informed of their progress every step of the way. Their service was excellent, The Parts Manager was especially helpful."

"We called PipeWorks for an emergency hot water heater replacement on a weekend. In approximately one hour, they had a technician, Pablo, at our house to assess the issue. Pablo was extremely professional and made safety during the COVID pandemic a top priority as he did his work. He was able to get us a replacement water heater and install it the same day and completed the job within a few hours of when he first arrived. He answered all of our questions, did a terrific job, and even called us later that evening when we had reached out through the main number with a follow-up question. We were so grateful for Pablo's expertise and professionalism."

"We had French drains installed around the whole perimeter of the basement. They were very professional from start to finish. Very fair quote and to be honest the best we recieved. On the day of the project, Tony who had given the quote was there to walk us through everything and get it all going. Even Steve the owner came out and checked in with us. The crew was great. They answered any questions we had, were very hard working and left the house cleaner then they found it. Overall a great experience."

"My wife and I were having trouble in our basement, as we were getting a mysterious puddle down there every so often, and we couldn't figure out where it was coming from. We'd had vents replaced, sump pumps replaced, and then had two other basement companies come in to look at the issue. Now, we have french drains down there already, but they were installed before we bought the property. Both of the first two basement companies told us our drainage system was either all wrong or installed improperly, and that we'd have to install a whole new system along one wall for $4k (said the first company) or along all four walls for $14k (said the second company). That didn't seem right to me, particularly as we had a drainage system, but both companies seemed to care more about their sales pitch than addressing the problem.
At that point, I signed up for Angie's List (moral of the story, thank you AL) and called American A-1 with my hunch. Jeff came over the next day and was first and foremost a super friendly, extremely knowledgable guy.First, he took a look at our current drainage system and said something the other two hadn't — that, while he would have done one or two things differently, our french drains looked to be installed perfectly fine. So he started poking around other places as I explained what the other two companies had said. He wasn't only shocked at the price, but mortified that somebody would tell us to rip up our basement like that. As a former building inspector, he seemed to really great knowledge set in general (he even gave me some free tips as he was looking around), and eventually came to the conclusion that he thought it was a plumbing issue, most likely something to do with the boilers. Jeff said he wished he could do more, but he wasn't a trained plumber, but said that would be his next phone call. He wished me all the best and left his card.
Fast forward a few weeks, and it turns out Jeff was exactly right: a plumber came out and confirmed it was one of the boiler's pressure release systems going off intermittently, and projecting in such a way that it ended up as a puddle far away from it. No basement drain installation necessary.
Seriously, I cannot say enough nice things about these guys. Not only did they save us money, but they saved us from having our basement ripped up and not even having the issue resolved. Jeff didn't make me sit down and listen to a half-hour to an hour sales pitch about this, that, and the other thing — he came and did what I wanted the first two companies to do: try and figure out the problem and not assume they knew what it was.
While I can't speak to their actual work, I can say that I would recommend American A-1 in a heartbeat. I think it's easy to be cynical about service providers these days — and as my first two basement companies goes to show, you should still be — which is why when you find one of the truly good ones, it's such a revelation. American A-1 truly is one of the good ones. Don't hesitate to call them."

"Andrew is very responsive. He provided a quote within 24 hours. Stayed in contact throughout the process and completed the install efficiently for a competitive price. Would highly recommend."
