High Pressure Water Jetting Process

Here's Exactly How We Clear Your Pipes
First, we inspect your lines with a video camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. No guessing, no assumptions—we know where the problem is and how bad it is before we start. Then we insert our high-pressure jetting equipment through your cleanout. The specialized nozzle shoots water at up to 4,000 PSI in all directions, scrubbing your pipe walls completely clean while the debris gets flushed down to the sewer. We adjust the pressure based on your pipe material and the type of blockage. Older pipes get gentler treatment, while stubborn grease buildup gets the full power. After we’re done, we run the camera again so you can see the difference—your pipes look like new inside.

How much does sewer jetting cost in Lake Ronkonkoma?

Sewer jetting typically costs between $300-800 for residential properties, depending on the severity of the blockage and length of pipe that needs cleaning. We provide upfront pricing after our video inspection shows exactly what needs to be done. The cost varies based on factors like pipe diameter, type of blockage, and accessibility of your cleanout. Main sewer lines require more powerful equipment than smaller drain lines. We never surprise you with hidden fees—you know the exact cost before we start work. Most customers find that professional jetting saves money long-term because it prevents recurring clogs and emergency calls. When you clear the entire pipe instead of just poking through the blockage, you get months or years of trouble-free drainage.
Yes, when performed by experienced professionals who adjust pressure for your pipe material. We always start with a camera inspection to check pipe condition before using any high-pressure equipment. Lake Ronkonkoma has many homes with original cast iron and clay sewer lines from the 1950s and 60s. These older pipes can handle hydro jetting, but they need lower pressure and special techniques. We reduce pressure for fragile pipes and use different nozzles designed for older systems. If we find pipes that are too damaged for jetting, we’ll tell you honestly and recommend alternatives. We’re not interested in causing damage—we want to solve your problem safely and keep you as a long-term customer.
Most Lake Ronkonkoma homes benefit from professional sewer jetting every 2-3 years for preventive maintenance, though some properties need it more frequently based on usage and pipe condition. Homes with older cast iron pipes, large families, or mature trees nearby typically need more frequent cleaning. Commercial properties with grease buildup might need quarterly service. We base our recommendations on what we see during the video inspection. The key is catching problems before they become emergencies. Regular jetting costs a few hundred dollars and takes an hour. Emergency calls on weekends cost much more and often involve cleanup of sewage backups. Preventive maintenance is always cheaper than crisis management.
Snaking pokes a hole through the blockage, while hydro jetting completely clears the entire pipe. Think of it like the difference between poking a straw through a clogged drain versus actually cleaning the whole drain. A drain snake or cable can break through immediate clogs, but it leaves most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. That’s why the same clog comes back weeks or months later—you never actually removed the problem, just created a temporary path through it. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scrub your pipes completely clean, removing years of grease, soap scum, and debris. Your pipes end up looking like new inside, which means the problem stays solved much longer.
Yes, high-pressure water jetting can cut through most tree roots and clear them from your sewer lines. The powerful water stream acts like a cutting tool, breaking roots into small pieces that flush away. Tree root intrusion is common in Lake Ronkonkoma’s established neighborhoods where mature trees have had decades to grow into sewer lines. The roots seek out moisture and nutrients, growing through pipe joints and cracks until they create serious blockages. However, jetting only provides temporary relief if the underlying pipe damage isn’t addressed. We’ll show you exactly where roots are entering during our video inspection and recommend permanent solutions like pipe repair or root barriers to prevent regrowth.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency sewer jetting for sewage backups and complete blockages. When your system fails, you need immediate response—not an appointment for next week. Sewage emergencies can’t wait, especially with Suffolk County’s health regulations and the risk of property damage. We understand that backups often happen at the worst possible times—holidays, weekends, or when you have guests. Our emergency service includes immediate response, complete blockage clearing, and cleanup recommendations. We carry all necessary equipment on our trucks so we can resolve most problems on the first visit. Emergency rates apply for after-hours calls, but we’re transparent about pricing before we start work.
