What You Get With Real Sewer Jetting
Your drains flow freely again. No more slow sinks or gurgling toilets. No more sewage odors creeping up from your basement floor drain. That’s what happens when high-pressure water—up to 4,000 PSI—scours every inch of your pipe walls clean. Unlike snaking that just punches a hole through the clog, sewer jetting removes everything: grease, sludge, mineral deposits, and even invasive tree roots. You get pipes that work like they’re supposed to. And they stay that way longer because we’ve actually cleaned them, not just poked through them.

Professional Hydro Jetting Process Ridge

Here's Exactly How We Clear Your Lines
First, we locate your system’s cleanout access point and run a camera inspection to see what we’re dealing with. No guessing—we know exactly where the problem is and how severe it is. Next, we insert our specialized jetting hose into the line and adjust water pressure to the right level for your pipes. Then we blast high-pressure water through your system, scouring the interior walls and flushing out everything that’s been building up. The debris gets safely flushed away, and we do a final camera check to make sure your lines are completely clear. Most jobs take 2-3 hours, and you can use your drains normally right away.

Why Ridge Properties Need Professional Jetting
Ridge sits on challenging soil conditions—high water tables and clay soil that affect how your septic and sewer systems perform. These local conditions mean traditional snaking often isn’t enough for lasting results. Suffolk County has over 360,000 homes relying on older cesspool and septic systems. Many of these systems deal with recurring clogs because previous “fixes” only addressed symptoms, not the underlying buildup problem. Professional sewer jetting removes years of accumulated grease, soap scum, food particles, and organic matter that snaking leaves behind. For Ridge homeowners dealing with the area’s unique drainage challenges, it’s often the only solution that actually works long-term.

How much does sewer jetting cost compared to snaking in Ridge?

Sewer jetting typically runs $350-$600, while snaking costs $150-$400. Here’s why the extra cost makes sense for most Ridge homeowners. Snaking just punches a hole through the clog—it doesn’t clean your pipes. That means you’ll likely need another service call within months when the remaining buildup causes new blockages. Sewer jetting removes everything from your pipe walls, so results last 3-4 times longer than snaking. When you factor in fewer service calls and the prevention of emergency backups, professional jetting actually saves money over time. Plus, you avoid the hassle and potential property damage of recurring sewer problems.
That’s exactly why we start every job with a camera inspection—to make sure your pipes can handle the pressure safely. Modern PVC, copper, and cast iron pipes handle hydro jetting without any issues. For older clay or compromised pipes, we adjust pressure levels or recommend alternative approaches. We’ve been doing this for over 25 years in Suffolk County, so we know how to work with every type of system. The inspection also shows us exactly what’s causing your drainage problems, so we’re not guessing about the right solution for your specific situation. Safety first, results second—that’s how we’ve built our reputation in Ridge.
Most Ridge homes benefit from professional jetting every 2-3 years as preventive maintenance, but your specific needs depend on several factors. Homes with garbage disposals, large families, or older plumbing systems may need service more frequently. Properties with mature trees near sewer lines often require annual root removal. Clay soil conditions in Ridge can also affect how quickly buildup accumulates. The best approach is addressing problems before they become emergencies. If you’re noticing slow drains, gurgling sounds, or sewage odors, don’t wait for your scheduled maintenance—these are signs your system needs immediate attention.
Chemical cleaners are temporary fixes that can actually damage your pipes over time, while sewer jetting provides a thorough, long-lasting solution. Store-bought chemicals only dissolve some types of clogs and can corrode pipe joints and seals with repeated use. They’re also harsh on Suffolk County’s groundwater system—something we take seriously given our sole-source aquifer designation. Sewer jetting uses only high-pressure water, so it’s completely safe for your pipes and the environment. It removes everything: grease, hair, soap buildup, food particles, and even tree roots. You get cleaner pipes that stay cleaner longer, without the environmental concerns or potential pipe damage from harsh chemicals.
Yes—high-pressure water jetting is one of the most effective ways to clear invasive tree roots from sewer lines, and it’s something we handle regularly for Ridge homeowners. The water pressure (up to 4,000 PSI) cuts through roots and flushes them completely out of your system. Unlike mechanical cutting that leaves root fragments behind, jetting removes the entire obstruction and cleans the pipe walls where roots typically regrow. For properties with recurring root problems, we can recommend preventive treatments and maintenance schedules to keep roots from becoming a major issue. Many Ridge homes near mature trees benefit from annual root clearing to avoid emergency backups during heavy growth seasons.
Most residential sewer jetting jobs in Ridge take 2-3 hours from start to finish, but the exact time depends on your system’s condition and the severity of blockages. We start with a camera inspection to assess the situation, which takes about 30 minutes. The actual jetting process usually runs 1-2 hours, followed by a final inspection to confirm everything’s flowing properly. Simple maintenance cleaning is faster, while severe blockages or extensive root intrusion may take longer. The good news is you can use your drains immediately after we’re done—no waiting period or special precautions needed. We clean up completely and make sure you understand what we found and what to expect going forward.
