Will never use another company after dealing with A1 today. Our tech Phillip was AMAZING. He went above and beyond and was extremely polite and professional. They are lucky to have a worker like Phillip. I will recommend them to everybody. They definitely have mine and my families business from now on!

Max, Alex, and Phillip were great! They used their mini excavator to dig up my old redwood septic tank and pump it out. They were very careful not to harm it. They were happy to answer questions. The tank was under my lawn Max was careful to dig up the lawn so as they could replant the grass like you would sod. They were friendly and worked together like a team.
I am very satisfied with their work and would gladly use them again.

Phil was very helpful. He tried to help out with our problem. I would have gave a tip but wasn't sure if it was aloud. I was also wondering if Phil was single. I know that's not very business like. But I found him to be very attractive. I loved his attitude. Very nice. He saw me at my worst but was hoping he could see me in a better light.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my septic system really need enzymes?

Yes. Household cleaners and antibacterial soaps kill off beneficial bacteria. Enzymes restore the balance needed to break down waste.

Can enzymes replace regular pumping?

No. While enzymes help the system run more efficiently, they don't dissolve inorganic solids. You still need to pump every 3–5 years.

How often should I add enzymes to my system?

We typically recommend a monthly application to maintain a healthy bacterial population.

Are your enzymes safe for my pipes?

Absolutely. These are natural biological products with no harsh chemicals, making them 100% safe for your pipes and tank.

What is the best way to use septic additives for maximum effectiveness?

It’s incredibly simple: once a month, flush one pre-measured packet or scoop down the toilet closest to the main sewer line. For best results, do this at night when water usage is at its lowest; this gives the bacteria time to settle in the tank rather than being washed straight into the leach field. Also, try to avoid using bleach or heavy cleaners for 24 hours after application to protect the new colony.

Where can I buy these additives, and why should I get them from you instead of a retail store?

You can purchase our signature year-supply of enzymes directly from our technician during a service call or order them for delivery through our website. The key advantage: big-box store products often contain cheap chemical solvents that only mimic cleaning, whereas we provide concentrated, industrial-grade bacteria. Our formula is specifically designed for Central Valley soil conditions; it doesn't just clear pipes - it actively restores your leach field's biology, potentially saving you thousands in premature replacement costs.
