Sewer & Water Line Installation & Repair in Chesapeake, VA

If you own a home in Chesapeake, VA, chances are your water or sewer lines are feeling their age. Many homes still have polybutylene water lines, prone to leaks, and Orangeburg sewer pipes, a tar-paper-based material that collapses over time. 

As Chesapeake expands its public sewer systems, many homeowners are upgrading aging sewer lines, connecting to city service, and safely abandoning old septic tanks. 

A1 Sewer & Drain provides expert drain cleaning, line repairs, and water line replacement to protect your property from costly damage. 

Whether you need a quick main line repair or emergency sewer line repairs, our local sewer repair team understands Chesapeake’s unique soil and regulations and delivers reliable results every time.

Very professional and knowledgeable company and crew!! They were fast with inspecting our sewage line leak and also provided a financing option to help cover the cost!! They knew exactly what they were doing. I will say that a very small portion of the cleanup outside could be better, but this doesn't lower my rating for them. Exceptional company and I highly recommend!!

I can't say enough about Jamie from A1 Sewer & Drain. Give this man a raise immediately. Earlier in the week we had to do a sewage pipe repair, he did an awesome job and finished by the end of the day. Very communicative about everything that he was doing. A few days later, we had a water line leak that started filling the newly dug trench with water. (possibly because the inspector had slipped into the hole earlier) We called A1 and surprisingly although he wasn't working that late, he came anyway. In about 30 degree weather with a short sleeve t-shirt on, he was lying in the mud on his belly fixing the problem. I felt so bad that he had to do that but he said he just wanted to make sure we had water. A+ guy. Give him a promotion!!

I am so pleased with my service. My washing machine, shower , and toilet were all clogged. My technician Brandon Rountree came in and went right to work first accessing the situation while informing me of the process with every step. He work very hard and diligently to get the job done and boy did he have his work cut out for him. He remained very professional, courteous and with a pleasant smile throughout the whole ordeal. Yes he was able to fix the problem! This company is a five ⭐️service.

Causes of Sewer & Water Line Problems in Chesapeake, VA

Chesapeake’s mix of older homes and shifting coastal soils makes underground sewer and water lines especially vulnerable. Common issues include corrosion from mineral-rich groundwater, tree root intrusion, cracked, bellied, or sagging lines, and the breakdown of outdated materials like Orangeburg and polybutylene. 

Remember: anything within your property boundary is the homeowner’s responsibility, while the city maintains the public lines beyond that point.
