When your drains are backing up and nothing else works, sewer jetting gets to the root of the problem. This isn’t about poking a hole through the clog like traditional snaking.
High-pressure water at 1,500 to 4,000 PSI completely scours your pipe walls clean. Tree roots that have been growing for years get cut away and flushed out. Grease, sand, and that cement-like buildup coating your pipes disappears.
Your water flows fast again. Your basement stays dry. And you’re not dealing with the same clog six months from now because we actually removed the problem instead of just punching through it.
We’ve been handling Suffolk County’s unique drainage challenges for over 25 years. We know how Long Island’s sandy soil infiltrates your lines and how tree roots from those beautiful old oaks find every crack in aging clay pipes.
Most homes in Centereach built before 1980 have pipes approaching their 50-year lifespan. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in this area. Our family-owned team understands that when your sewer backs up, it’s not just an inconvenience—it’s a threat to your home and your family’s health.
That’s why we offer military, first responder, and senior discounts to the neighbors who’ve served our community. We’re here when you need us, with no extra charges for evenings or weekends.
We start with a video inspection through your cleanout to see what’s actually blocking your line. You can watch the camera feed with us—no guessing about tree roots or mystery clogs.
Once we confirm your pipes can handle the pressure, we insert the hydro jet hose and select the right nozzle for your specific blockage. The high-pressure water blasts forward to break through the clog while backward-facing jets propel the equipment through your line.
The water pressure cuts through roots, dissolves grease, and scrapes years of buildup from your pipe walls. Everything gets flushed down to the main sewer. We finish with another camera inspection so you can see the difference—your pipes look like new inside.

Suffolk County presents unique challenges that standard drain cleaning can’t handle. Our coastal environment means sand infiltration through the same cracks where tree roots enter. This creates that concrete-hard sludge in low spots and pipe joints.
Late summer is when tree roots hit peak growth, aggressively seeking water in your sewer lines. If your home was built in the 1970s or earlier, those clay pipes have developed the tiny cracks and loose joints that roots love to exploit.
We use specialized pressure settings based on your pipe material and condition. Our hydro jetting removes not just the current blockage, but the root cause—literally. The process is eco-friendly, using only water pressure instead of harsh chemicals that can damage older pipes.
Sewer jetting typically costs between $300 and $600 for residential service in the Centereach area. The exact price depends on the severity of your blockage, pipe accessibility, and length of your sewer line.
We always provide upfront pricing before starting work. Unlike some companies, we don’t charge extra for evenings or weekends because we know sewer emergencies don’t follow business hours. The investment pays for itself by preventing future clogs and avoiding costly emergency repairs down the road.
Hydro jetting is safe for properly maintained pipes, but many Centereach homes built before 1980 have aging clay pipes that need careful assessment first. That’s why we always start with a video inspection to check for cracks or damage.
If your pipes are structurally sound, hydro jetting is actually gentler than aggressive snaking that can chip clay pipes. We adjust water pressure based on your pipe material and condition. For severely damaged pipes, we’ll recommend repair options before attempting high-pressure cleaning to prevent further damage.
Most Centereach homeowners benefit from sewer jetting every 18 to 24 months, especially if you have large trees on your property. Homes built before 1980 with clay pipes may need more frequent service due to root intrusion.
If you’ve had recurring clogs, slow drains, or previous root problems, annual jetting helps prevent emergency backups. Commercial properties like restaurants typically need service every 6 months due to grease buildup. We can set up a maintenance schedule based on your specific situation and past issues.
Yes, hydro jetting is highly effective at cutting through and removing tree roots from sewer lines. Water pressure up to 4,000 PSI can slice through even established root systems that have been growing in your pipes for years.
The process not only removes existing roots but cleans away the debris they’ve trapped. However, if roots have caused structural damage to your pipes, we may recommend repairs to prevent future infiltration. We can also discuss root barriers or regular maintenance to keep roots from returning to the same spots.
Snaking only pokes a hole through the blockage, providing temporary relief. Sewer jetting completely cleans the entire pipe diameter, removing all buildup from the walls and providing longer-lasting results.
Think of snaking like punching a hole through a wall versus pressure washing the entire surface clean. Jetting removes grease, scale, roots, and years of accumulated debris that snaking leaves behind. While jetting costs more upfront, it prevents recurring clogs and reduces the need for frequent service calls.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency sewer jetting service throughout Centereach and Suffolk County. Sewer backups don’t wait for convenient times, and we understand the urgency when sewage is backing up into your basement or home.
We don’t charge extra fees for evening, weekend, or holiday service calls because we know emergencies happen when you least expect them. Our family-owned team lives and works in this community, so we’re never far away when you need immediate help with a sewer emergency.
