Tub backed up while using the shower. Called A-1 American they said they could have somebody out in about a couple of hours. That couple of hours ended up being 1/2 an hour. John called and said he was on the way. I told him about dogs and he said he was not concerned in the least. My dogs took to him and his coworker like they were best buds. (I don't necessarily worry if you don't like my dogs...however, if my dogs don't like you, Thats a red flag for me...especially since my dogs love everyone) They arrived and assessed the issue, provided a quote and how they would accomplish the task. All questions asked were answered. Took about 20 minutes to get everything done. John and company cleaned up after themselves and all was right with the world again. I will definitely call A-1 American again. Thanks for being prompt and getting the problem fixed quick.

Our A-1 technician Nick did an awesome job in clearing our clogged drain. He was very professional and polite. He was very quick and neat in performing the job. He also performed several flushed on the drain to ensure that the clog was clear. We were more than satisfied with the quality of work we received. Awesome job.

I have a repetitive plumbing issue. Ray and Chris came to my house to camera my main sewer line. Thanks to them, I now know where my plumbing problem is located. They were able to fix the issue. The A-1 American staff was professional every step of the way. They even called to make sure I was happy. I recommend A-1 American Services for all your plumbing issues.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an excellent experience with A-1 American! Their team came out to inspect a potential gas leak and quickly identified that the underlying issue was with my crawl space. I was really impressed with how knowledgeable and professional they were. They saved me a lot of money by pinpointing the problem and offering honest solutions. I truly appreciate their transparency and high level of service. It's rare to find such reliable professionals these days. I highly recommend A-1 American for anyone in need of expert, trustworthy service!

I hired this company to replace a spigot (hose bibb) on the back of my house and insulate the pipe. During the initial estimate, they made it seem like the job would involve significantly more work, which helped me justify the high price they quoted. However, in the end, the technician only replaced the spigot, added insulation, and spent a total of one hour on the job. The final bill came to an outrageous $911.55. When I asked for a detailed breakdown of parts and labor costs, they refused, which is deeply concerning and lacks transparency. For reference: • Spigots typically cost $14–$150. • Pipe insulation is around $10. • Copper pipe costs $2.10 per foot. • Labor for this type of work usually ranges from $70–$120 per hour. Their misleading estimate and refusal to provide a cost breakdown suggest they prioritize profits over customer trust. I feel completely taken advantage of—especially as a woman homeowner. I strongly advise others to request detailed estimates upfront and GET A SECOND OPINION. And check all of the reviews good and bad on google and Facebook. They speak for themselves. Also look at A-1’s review average on Google, it is 3.8 out of 5 stars with 687 reviews as of today. Google “plumber in Virginia Beach” and look at the first 10. The average review scores are 4.9,4.8,4.7 etc with thousands of reviews. I wonder why?

John S and Zach came and repaired my bathroom plumbing issues about a month ago and did an amazing job! Zach had been to my home to fix a previous issue which is why I used this company's service a second time. John and Zach were professional, timely and efficient. Most importantly, the work was done well and I do not have any plumbing issues. Highly recommend!

Throughout the process, he communicated clearly, keeping me informed about what was being done. I really appreciated his professionalism and would definitely recommend this service to anyone in need of a reliable plumber!
