Your drains flow like they’re brand new. No more slow drainage, foul odors, or that sinking feeling when you flush.
Sewer jetting doesn’t just poke a hole through your clog—it scours every inch of pipe clean. Grease, roots, mineral buildup, years of accumulated debris—all of it gets blasted out with high-pressure water that reaches 4,000 PSI.
The difference is immediate and it lasts. Most homeowners go 2-3 years between services instead of calling for emergency drain cleaning every few months.
Twenty-six years of keeping Greenlawn’s drains flowing means we’ve seen every type of blockage this area throws at us. Tree roots from mature Long Island oaks, grease buildup from decades-old pipes, the sandy soil that lets everything settle where it shouldn’t.
We’re the family-owned company your neighbors call when their drains actually need to work. No overselling, no surprise charges, no promises we can’t keep. Just honest service from people who live and work right here in Suffolk County.
Over 325 five-star reviews don’t happen by accident. They happen when you show up on time, fix the problem right the first time, and charge exactly what you quoted.
First, we inspect your line with a camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. No guessing, no assumptions—we know what’s in there before we start.
Then we insert a specialized hose through your cleanout and position the jetting nozzle. The high-pressure water shoots forward to cut through blockages while jets facing backward scour the pipe walls clean. It’s like pressure washing the inside of your sewer line.
The debris gets flushed downstream into the main sewer where it belongs. We follow up with another camera inspection to confirm everything’s flowing properly. The whole process typically takes a few hours, and your drains work like new when we’re done.

Complete pipe inspection before and after jetting so you know exactly what we found and fixed. High-pressure water cleaning that removes everything—not just the immediate blockage. Professional equipment designed for residential and commercial lines up to 150 feet.
Here in Greenlawn, we deal with specific challenges other areas don’t face. The sandy soil that lets tree roots spread easily into sewer lines. Older homes with clay pipes that need careful handling. Cesspools and septic systems that require different approaches than standard municipal sewers.
We adjust our pressure and technique based on your specific pipe material and age. PVC pipes can handle full pressure, while older cast iron or clay lines need a gentler touch. That’s the difference between cleaning your pipes and damaging them.
Sewer jetting typically runs $350-600 for most residential jobs in Greenlawn, depending on the length of your line and severity of the blockage. That’s more than basic snaking, but it’s also a completely different service.
Snaking just pokes a hole through your clog. Jetting cleans the entire pipe from wall to wall, which is why the results last 2-3 years instead of a few months. When you factor in not needing emergency calls every few months, jetting actually costs less over time.
We always give you an upfront price before starting any work. No surprises, no hidden fees, no “oh, we found something else” charges after we’re already there.
Yes, when done by experienced professionals who adjust pressure based on your pipe material and condition. We always start with a camera inspection to check your pipes before jetting.
Older cast iron or clay pipes common in Greenlawn get treated with lower pressure—usually 1,500-2,500 PSI instead of the full 4,000 PSI we use on newer PVC lines. The key is knowing what you’re working with before you start blasting water through it.
We’ve been cleaning pipes in Suffolk County for over 25 years. We know how to clean your lines thoroughly without damaging pipes that might have been installed when your house was built decades ago.
Most Greenlawn homeowners need sewer jetting every 2-3 years for preventive maintenance, but it depends on your specific situation. Homes with large trees nearby might need it more often due to root intrusion. Houses with garbage disposals or frequent cooking tend to build up grease faster.
If you’re calling for drain cleaning more than once a year, it’s time for jetting. Those recurring clogs mean there’s buildup in your line that snaking can’t remove. Jetting clears it all out so you can go years between service calls.
The best time is before you have problems. Preventive jetting costs the same as emergency jetting, but you avoid the stress and potential mess of backed-up drains.
Snaking uses a metal cable to punch a hole through your blockage—like poking a straw through a cork. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely remove the blockage and clean the entire pipe interior.
Think of it this way: snaking gets your drain flowing again temporarily. Jetting makes your pipes clean like they were when first installed. The snake leaves most of the buildup behind, so you’ll likely need service again in a few months. Jetting removes everything, so you typically go 2-3 years before needing service again.
For emergency situations, snaking gets you back in business faster and cheaper. For long-term results and preventing future problems, jetting is the better investment.
Absolutely. High-pressure water jetting cuts through tree roots like a knife, completely clearing them from your sewer line. This is actually one of the main reasons we recommend jetting over snaking for Long Island homes.
Greenlawn’s mature trees send roots looking for water sources, and your sewer line is like a magnet for them. Snaking might break up some roots temporarily, but jetting cuts them out completely and scours the pipe clean so new roots have a harder time taking hold.
For homes with recurring root problems, we often recommend annual or bi-annual jetting as preventive maintenance. It’s much cheaper than dealing with emergency backups, and it keeps your system flowing properly year-round.
Most residential sewer jetting jobs in Greenlawn take 2-4 hours from start to finish. That includes the initial camera inspection, the actual jetting work, and the follow-up inspection to confirm everything’s clean.
Longer sewer lines or severe blockages might take a bit more time, while simple preventive maintenance on shorter lines can sometimes be done in under two hours. We never rush the job—it’s better to spend the time to do it right the first time.
The actual jetting process is usually the quickest part. Most of the time goes to proper setup, inspection, and making sure we’ve addressed the root cause of your drainage problems, not just the immediate symptoms.
