Your drains flow like they did when your house was new. No more standing water in your shower. No more gurgling sounds from your kitchen sink. No more holding your breath when you flush the toilet, wondering if it’ll back up again.
That’s what happens when you get real sewer jetting – not just a quick snake job that punches a hole through the clog. When we blast 4,000 PSI of water through your pipes, we’re scraping years of grease, soap scum, and debris off the walls. Your pipes get cleaned, not just unclogged.
You’ll notice the difference immediately. Water drains fast. Toilets flush strong. And those recurring clogs that kept bringing you back to the same problem every few months? Gone.
We’re not some big corporate chain. AAA Dependable Cesspool is a family-owned business that’s been solving Fort Salonga’s toughest drain problems for over 25 years. We know the older homes in your neighborhood. We understand how Suffolk County’s aging sewer systems behave.
Our team lives and works right here in the community. We’ve seen what happens when homeowners try to save money with cheap fixes that don’t last. That’s why we focus on doing the job right the first time, using professional-grade equipment and honest pricing.
When you call us, you’re supporting a local business that gives back – we offer military and senior discounts, and we actively support veteran organizations like Paws of War. Because this is our community too.
First, we locate your sewer cleanout – the access point to your main line. Before we start jetting, we run a camera inspection to see exactly what we’re dealing with. Is it grease buildup? Tree roots? Years of accumulated debris? This tells us the right pressure and nozzle to use.
Next, we insert our high-pressure hose into the line. The specialized nozzle creates a powerful cone of water – up to 4,000 PSI – that blasts forward and scrubs the pipe walls clean as it goes. The water pressure is strong enough to cut through tree roots but controlled enough not to damage your pipes.
As the jetting head moves through your line, it’s pulling all that loosened debris back toward the cleanout where we can remove it. The whole process typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on how much buildup we find. When we’re done, we’ll run the camera through again so you can see the difference.

Our hydro jetting service includes a complete video inspection before and after cleaning, so you can see exactly what was causing your problems and verify that they’re solved. We use commercial-grade equipment that delivers consistent results – no guessing, no shortcuts.
In Fort Salonga’s older neighborhoods, we often find combinations of grease, soap buildup, and tree root intrusions that have been developing for years. Many homes here were built when plumbing standards were different, which means regular maintenance is even more important to prevent major problems.
We’ll also give you practical advice about what’s going down your drains and how to extend the time between cleanings. Small changes in your household habits can make a big difference in how long your newly cleaned pipes stay that way. Our goal is to solve your current problem and help you avoid future ones.
Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than traditional snaking – usually $300-600 depending on the severity of the blockage and length of line that needs cleaning. But here’s what most homeowners don’t realize: snaking just pokes a hole through the clog, leaving all the buildup on your pipe walls.
That means you’ll probably need service again in 3-6 months when the clog reforms. With proper hydro jetting, you’re looking at 2-4 years before needing another cleaning. When you factor in the repeat service calls you avoid, jetting actually saves money over time.
Plus, you avoid the frustration and potential damage of recurring backups. One thorough cleaning that lasts years versus multiple temporary fixes that don’t really solve the problem – the math is pretty clear.
This is exactly why we always start with a camera inspection. We need to see the condition of your pipes before we determine the right pressure to use. Most pipes can handle hydro jetting just fine – the equipment is designed to clean without damaging properly maintained lines.
If we find pipes that are severely deteriorated or have structural issues, we’ll tell you upfront. In those cases, we might recommend a gentler cleaning method or discuss pipe repair options. We’re not going to risk damaging your plumbing just to get a job done.
The reality is that many Fort Salonga homes have pipes that are 30-50 years old, and they’ve been handling normal water pressure all this time. Professional hydro jetting uses controlled pressure that’s applied gradually and monitored throughout the process.
For most Fort Salonga homes, every 2-4 years is typical, but it really depends on your household and your pipes. If you have a large family, use garbage disposals frequently, or have trees near your sewer line, you might need cleaning more often.
We usually recommend starting with a thorough jetting and inspection, then we can give you a realistic timeline based on what we find. Some homes with newer pipes and careful usage can go 4-5 years. Others with older systems or heavy use might benefit from cleaning every 18-24 months.
The key is not waiting until you have problems. Preventive jetting costs less than emergency service, and it prevents the damage and mess that come with sewer backups. Most of our customers find that regular maintenance actually saves them money compared to dealing with recurring clogs and emergency calls.
A snake or auger just punches a hole through whatever’s blocking your pipe. It’s like drilling a tunnel through a clogged artery – you get flow restored, but all the buildup is still coating the walls. Within months, that debris catches more waste and you’re clogged again.
Hydro jetting actually cleans the pipe. The high-pressure water scours the interior walls, removing grease, soap scum, mineral deposits, and debris that’s been accumulating for years. When we’re done, your pipes look almost like new inside.
Think of it this way: snaking treats the symptom, jetting treats the cause. If you’re calling for drain cleaning every year or dealing with recurring slow drains, that’s usually a sign that snaking isn’t getting the job done. You need the pipe walls cleaned, not just a temporary hole poked through the blockage.
Yes, professional hydro jetting can cut through most tree roots that have grown into sewer lines. The high-pressure water stream – up to 4,000 PSI – is powerful enough to slice through root masses and flush them out of the system.
However, if roots have caused significant damage to the pipe itself, jetting alone might not be a permanent solution. That’s why we always do a camera inspection first. We can see exactly where roots have penetrated and assess whether the pipe structure is compromised.
In many cases, we can clear the roots with jetting and then recommend preventive treatments to slow future growth. For severely damaged pipes, we’ll discuss repair options. But the good news is that regular hydro jetting can often manage root intrusion for years before pipe replacement becomes necessary.
Most residential sewer jetting jobs take 1-3 hours, depending on how much buildup we find and how long your sewer line is. We’re not rushing through the job – we want to make sure we’ve cleaned the entire line properly.
The process starts with locating your cleanout and setting up our equipment. Then we run a camera inspection to assess the situation, which takes about 15-20 minutes. The actual jetting usually takes 45-90 minutes, followed by a final camera check to verify everything’s clean.
We’ll also take time to explain what we found and give you recommendations for maintaining your newly cleaned pipes. Some companies rush through jobs to maximize their daily service calls, but we’d rather do fewer jobs and do them right. You’re investing in a service that should last years, not months.
