Water Line

Report

Most people rely on running water to and from the home for the daily use of washing dishes, cooking, gardening and showering. A functional plumbing system makes these possible. When a clog or break in the line interferes with your plumbing's operation, it's more than a mere annoyance. Your daily routine comes to a halt!

Shower Replacement

Report

One of the key elements of a home is the shower. A great shower can leave you feeling refreshed, while a weak or broken shower can force you to start your day in a stressful way. From leaky pipes and dripping faucets to pooling water and cracked walls, a shower in disrepair can be upsetting.

Pipe Repair

Report

At A-1 American, our professionally trained technicians use state-of-the-art line location technology, such as Video Pipeline Inspection systems, to locate damaged sewer lines. This technique is referred to as No-Dig technology, because it eliminates the need to make an exploratory excavation of your yard when looking for the break.

Report

Has your plumbing, maybe a toilet or sink, clogged enough over time to warrant the most efficient drain cleaning service plumbers in Virginia Beach have to offer? Give us a call. We'll send experienced plumbers to quickly to get the job done right.

Emergency

Report

As time goes on, most things eventually fail. When you're talking about plumbing systems, pipes will begin to crack or warp, gaskets will leak, or clogs will form and cause some sections to overflow. Routine maintenance and replacement of parts can assist in the lifespan of your plumbing system. Having a plumber fix a minor leak now can prevent a plumbing failure and emergency later.

A quarter of a century ago, the owner and founder of A-1 American Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning served our country in the Navy. He was discharged on a Friday, and the following Monday, he started A-1 American and his vision has grown for the last 25 years.

At A-1 American Services, our customers say it best. Denise from Chesapeake, who was a repeat customer, stated that A-1 American fixed her plumbing problem and explained step by step what work would be done and the cost involved.

Here at A-1 American we value each and every customer. We are thankful for these great testimonials of how we have helped homeowners around Hampton Roads with their plumbing, heating and a/c needs.

James went above and beyond to ensure my family was taken care of when our heat went out during a cold snap. He was quick to respond, had a solid plan in place, and followed through with exceptional professionalism. It was truly reassuring to have him in our corner during such a stressful time!

I called A-1 American because my office had a toilet that wouldn't stop running and was creating a huge water bill. The technician Larry was very polite! He fixed the issue in a timely manner and also brought to my attention something else that concerned him and I had that issue fixed as well.

I called A-1 to arrange 2 leaky faucet repairs. First spoke with Greg who was very pleasant and helpful. He arranged to have Jimmy come out to do the replacements. Jimmy was personable, professional and did the job in quick fashion.
