A1 Sewer & Drain Plumbing & Water Heaters, a Groundworks Company, celebrating over 35 years of service! Trust, transparency, and quality service at a fair price are at the core of A-1 Sewer & Drain. We offer residential and commercial plumbing, drain cleaning, and installations for gas lines, water lines, sewer lines, and water heaters.

"I have to say I was fully satisfied with the end result of the work done at my house. I was getting Qwest piping replaced throughout my entire townhouse with modern Pex piping. If you plan to live a bit more conscious free, I highly suggest it. I had gotten quotes from various plumbing companies as there is so much competition and A1 beat them easily. The work done wasn't completely to my satisfaction and the project took much longer than expected due to various reasons. Most of the supervisors I worked with were very competent and solidly communicative with my frustrations, actually empathizing with the reality of the situation. The initial person who did the job was a great and super friendly guy but his helper was just not great and he had to continually fix his problems which made things run over. Months later when I got settled I expressed frustration to the management and A-1 met in the middle with me on a constructive solution. I am 100% happy with the results and plan to do a lot more business with them. A really really big shoutout to the tech who visited twice and did everything without issue, Jonathan Schemetti. Also I really appreciate Tim who was easily the best contact person I got in touch who made things happen. Make SURE you get to a supervisor who doesn't give you a standoffish attitude or dismiss your concerns, they have really great people working here.!"

Trident-True Home Services. Kellam Home Services has served Virginia Beach since 1995. Tell 'em Kellam!
"Kellam made an appointment to do a plumbing maintenance call. Said the tech would be out between 8 and 12 so we remained at home. They didn't arrive so at 1pm I called. Received a text the tech would be there. He arrived around 2pm. When we bought the tankless water heater they told us that with the maintenance agreement they would come out each year, check it out and flush the system. Apparently the new owners decided that doing the flush with the agreement wasn't making enough money, so we were charged $630 to flush the system. Then the tech found a corroded piece that he had to order and would return in 5 days to install it. No show - no call. We have made appts which were cancelled at the last minute. They are no longer reliable or financially friendly. I will NOT do business with them again."

FAQs for french drain service projects in Portsmouth, VA
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
