When traditional snaking fails you for the third time this year, that’s your sewer system telling you something. The grease, roots, and buildup coating your pipe walls aren’t going anywhere with a simple cable run.
Sewer jetting uses pressurized water streams up to 3,500 PSI to scour every inch of your pipes clean. Not just clear—clean. The difference means your drains stay open for years, not months.
You get what snaking can’t deliver: complete removal of the buildup that causes recurring clogs. No more emergency calls when your system backs up during dinner parties or family gatherings.
We’ve been solving Ronkonkoma’s toughest drain problems since 1998. We’re not some fly-by-night operation—we’re your neighbors, with over 325 five-star reviews from families who needed their systems fixed right the first time.
Suffolk County’s unique challenges with aging cesspool systems and sandy soil conditions require local expertise. We understand how Long Island’s infrastructure works and what it takes to keep your drains flowing properly.
Our family-owned team offers military, first responder, and senior discounts because we believe in taking care of the community that’s supported us for over 25 years.
First, we inspect your lines with camera equipment to locate the problem and assess your pipe condition. This isn’t optional—we need to know what we’re dealing with before unleashing high-pressure water in your system.
Next, we insert specialized jetting hoses through your cleanout access point. Multiple nozzle types let us adjust the spray pattern for different pipe materials and clog types. The pressurized water streams create a 360-degree cleaning action that scrubs pipe walls completely clean.
Finally, gravity flushes all the debris toward your main sewer connection. What you’re left with are pipes that function like they did when they were new—smooth walls that don’t catch debris and cause future problems.

Our sewer jetting service handles what traditional drain cleaning can’t touch. Tree roots that have invaded your main line, years of grease buildup from kitchen drains, and mineral deposits from Long Island’s hard water all get completely removed.
Ronkonkoma’s older neighborhoods often deal with cast iron and clay pipes that need careful handling. Our experienced technicians know how to adjust pressure settings for different pipe materials—aggressive enough to clean thoroughly, gentle enough to protect your system.
You also get emergency availability when your system fails outside business hours. Suffolk County doesn’t stop needing sewer services at 5 PM, and neither do we. Our 24/7 response means you’re never stuck dealing with sewage backups alone.
Sewer jetting typically costs $350-600, while traditional snaking runs $100-200. Here’s why the higher upfront cost saves you money: snaking just pokes holes through clogs, leaving buildup on your pipe walls that causes problems to return within months.
Hydro jetting removes everything—grease, roots, mineral deposits, debris—giving you pipes that stay clear 3-4 times longer than snaking. Most Ronkonkoma homeowners who switch to jetting spend less per year on drain services because they’re not calling us every few months for the same recurring clogs.
The real cost isn’t just money, it’s the hassle of dealing with backed-up drains, emergency calls, and property damage from sewage overflows. One thorough jetting often prevents years of headaches.
When performed by experienced professionals, yes. We always start with camera inspection to assess your pipe condition before jetting. This tells us exactly what pressure levels your system can handle safely.
Ronkonkoma has many homes with original cast iron and clay sewer lines from the 1950s-70s. These require different pressure settings than modern PVC systems. Our technicians adjust equipment specifically for your pipe material and condition—we’re not using one-size-fits-all approaches that can cause damage.
If your pipes are too fragile for high-pressure jetting, we’ll tell you upfront and recommend alternatives. But most older systems handle professional jetting just fine when it’s done correctly with proper equipment and local expertise.
For most Ronkonkoma homes, every 2-3 years prevents major problems. Homes with heavy kitchen use, large families, or mature trees near sewer lines may need annual service.
The key indicator is frequency of backups. If you’re calling for drain service more than once per year, switching to preventive jetting typically eliminates those emergency calls entirely. It’s like changing your car’s oil—regular maintenance costs less than waiting for breakdowns.
Commercial properties like restaurants need jetting every 3-6 months due to grease volume. Suffolk County’s regulations on grease trap maintenance make regular jetting essential for businesses to avoid violations and costly emergency cleanouts.
Snaking uses a metal cable to punch through clogs—think of it like poking a hole through a clogged artery. Jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean pipe walls, like power-washing the entire interior surface.
Snaking leaves grease, roots, and buildup stuck to your pipe walls. These remnants catch new debris quickly, causing clogs to return within weeks or months. That’s why you keep calling the same drain company repeatedly for the same problem.
Jetting removes everything down to bare pipe walls. Your drains flow like new because they essentially are new on the inside. Most customers go years between service calls instead of months, making jetting more cost-effective despite higher upfront costs.
Yes, professional-grade jetting equipment cuts through most tree root invasions effectively. Specialized cutting nozzles slice roots while high-pressure water flushes the debris away completely.
Tree roots are common problems in Ronkonkoma’s established neighborhoods where mature maples and oaks send roots seeking water sources. Traditional snaking might clear roots temporarily, but jetting removes them entirely and cleans away the organic matter that attracts new root growth.
For severe root invasions, we may combine jetting with mechanical root cutting for complete removal. Our camera inspection shows exactly where roots have penetrated your line and helps determine the best approach for permanent solutions.
Absolutely. Sewage emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our 24/7 emergency response covers all of Suffolk County, including Ronkonkoma and surrounding areas.
Emergency jetting costs more than scheduled maintenance, but it’s often the fastest way to restore your system when traditional methods have failed. We carry professional-grade jetting equipment on our emergency trucks, so we can handle severe blockages immediately.
Most emergency calls happen because homeowners tried cheaper drain cleaning methods repeatedly instead of addressing the root cause. Our emergency service gets your system working immediately, then we can discuss preventive maintenance to avoid future 2 AM phone calls.
