When your main sewer line backs up into your basement or multiple drains run slow, you need more than a quick snake job. Sewer jetting uses 4,000 PSI water pressure to completely scour your pipes clean—removing grease, roots, sand, and years of accumulated debris that cause recurring problems.
Unlike snaking that just pokes a hole through clogs, hydro jetting clears the entire diameter of your pipes. You get months or years of trouble-free drainage instead of the same backup happening again next month. Your water flows faster, your system works more efficiently, and you avoid the stress and expense of emergency calls.
We’ve been solving sewer problems in Shirley and throughout Suffolk County since 1998. We’re not just another service company—we’re your neighbors who understand the unique challenges Long Island homeowners face.
Our family-owned business knows that Suffolk County’s aging clay pipes and aggressive tree root growth create specific problems that require local expertise. We’ve built our reputation on honest work, fair prices, and getting the job done right the first time. With over 325 five-star reviews and Suffolk County Consumer Affairs licensing, you can trust us to protect your home and your investment.
First, we locate your sewer cleanout and perform a video inspection to see exactly what we’re dealing with—roots, grease buildup, or debris. This helps us choose the right pressure settings and nozzle for your specific situation.
Next, we insert our high-pressure jetting hose through the cleanout and blast water at up to 4,000 PSI through your pipes. The water cuts through blockages and scours the pipe walls clean while flushing everything downstream to the main sewer. We work systematically through your entire system, ensuring every section gets thoroughly cleaned.
After jetting, we run another video inspection to confirm your pipes are completely clear. You’ll see the difference immediately—and we’ll show you the before and after footage so you know exactly what we accomplished.

Shirley’s coastal environment brings unique challenges. Sand infiltration from our proximity to the shore combines with tree root intrusion to create stubborn blockages that regular snaking can’t handle. Many homes built in the 1970s or earlier have clay pipes approaching the end of their 50-60 year lifespan, making thorough cleaning even more critical.
Sewer jetting removes the grease, roots, and mineral deposits that accumulate in Long Island’s hard water conditions. It’s environmentally safe—using only water instead of harsh chemicals that can damage your pipes or contaminate groundwater. For Suffolk County homeowners dealing with recurring backups, jetting provides the comprehensive cleaning needed to restore proper flow and prevent future emergencies.
Regular jetting also helps extend the life of aging pipes by removing corrosive buildup that weakens pipe walls over time.
Sewer jetting typically costs between $350-$600 in the Shirley area, depending on the severity of your blockage and the length of pipe that needs cleaning. The investment pays for itself by preventing costly emergency repairs and extending the time between service calls.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Many homeowners find that jetting saves money long-term because it prevents the recurring clogs that require multiple service calls with traditional snaking methods.
Snaking only punches a hole through blockages, leaving most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. Within weeks or months, debris catches on that remaining buildup and you’re dealing with the same problem again. It’s like clearing a path through snow without removing the snow banks on either side.
Hydro jetting completely scours your pipes clean, removing grease, roots, mineral deposits, and years of accumulated debris from the entire pipe diameter. You get a thorough cleaning that lasts much longer—often years instead of months. For Suffolk County’s challenging conditions with tree roots and sand infiltration, jetting provides the comprehensive solution that snaking simply can’t match.
Professional sewer jetting is safe for most pipe types when performed correctly. We always start with a video inspection to assess your pipe condition and identify any weak spots or damage before jetting. This allows us to adjust pressure settings appropriately for your specific pipes.
Our experienced technicians know how to work with Suffolk County’s aging clay pipes and adjust techniques based on what we find during inspection. If we discover pipes that are too fragile for jetting, we’ll recommend alternative solutions and explain your options clearly. The inspection also helps us document your system’s condition for future reference.
Most Shirley homeowners benefit from sewer jetting every 2-3 years, but the frequency depends on your specific situation. Homes with large trees nearby, older clay pipes, or recurring backup problems may need more frequent service. Properties with newer pipes and fewer trees might go longer between cleanings.
We recommend annual video inspections for homes built before 1980 or properties with significant tree coverage. This allows us to monitor your system’s condition and schedule jetting before problems develop into expensive emergencies. After your first jetting service, we can provide personalized recommendations based on what we find in your pipes.
Yes, high-pressure sewer jetting is highly effective at cutting through and removing tree roots from sewer lines. The 4,000 PSI water pressure can slice through even substantial root intrusions and flush the debris downstream. This is especially important in Suffolk County where aggressive root growth is a common problem.
However, jetting only removes roots that have already grown into your pipes—it doesn’t prevent new roots from entering through the same cracks or joints. For long-term root control, we may recommend root treatments or pipe repairs to seal entry points. We’ll show you exactly where roots are entering during our video inspection and discuss the best approach for your specific situation.
