Your drains work the way they’re supposed to. Water flows fast and stays flowing because we don’t just poke holes through clogs—we blast away everything coating your pipe walls.
You get months or even years before needing service again instead of calling someone back in a few weeks. That’s because hydro jetting removes the buildup that snaking leaves behind, the stuff that catches new debris and creates the next clog.
No more slow drains that get slower. No more gurgling sounds when you flush upstairs. No more wondering if today’s the day your basement floods with sewage.
We’ve been cleaning sewers in Suffolk County since 1997. That means we’ve seen what happens to clay pipes from the 1960s and 70s when tree roots find those hairline cracks.
We know about the sandy soil here that doesn’t just pass through your system like you’d expect. It settles in low spots and pipe joints, mixing with organic matter to create cement-like sludge that basic drain cleaning can’t touch.
Most importantly, we know the difference between a quick fix that gets you by and a real solution that keeps working. That’s why we use high-pressure water jetting for Suffolk County’s toughest drain problems.
First, we inspect your line with a camera to see what we’re dealing with and make sure your pipes can handle the pressure. No guesswork, no assumptions.
Then we insert a specialized hose through your cleanout and blast 4,000 pounds of water pressure through your pipes. The nozzle creates a powerful cone of spray that flushes out roots, paper, grease, and debris while scraping your pipe walls clean.
The water and everything it removes flows downstream to the sewer. What you’re left with is a pipe that works like it did when it was new—sometimes better, because we’ve removed years of buildup that was never supposed to be there.

Snaking punches a hole through the clog. Hydro jetting removes the clog and everything else coating your pipes. That’s the difference between a temporary fix and a real solution.
In North Patchogue, where many homes have older clay pipes and deal with tree root intrusion, this matters more than anywhere. Those roots don’t just block your pipes—they trap debris that creates bigger problems over time.
Hydro jetting cuts through roots and removes the sand and sludge that accumulates in Suffolk County’s unique soil conditions. You get results that last four times longer than traditional drain cleaning, which means fewer service calls and lower costs over time.
Sewer jetting typically costs between $350-$600 depending on the complexity of your blockage and the condition of your pipes. That might seem like more than basic drain cleaning, but it’s actually more cost-effective long-term.
Here’s why: hydro jetting results last about four times longer than snaking. Instead of calling for service every few months when the clog comes back, you might not need another cleaning for years. When you factor in fewer service calls, hydro jetting often costs less over time than repeatedly snaking the same problem.
We always start with the most affordable method that will actually solve your problem. If basic cleaning will work, that’s what we’ll recommend. But if you’ve got recurring clogs or tough blockages, hydro jetting usually saves you money in the long run.
Yes, when done by professionals who know what they’re doing. We always start with a camera inspection to check your pipe condition before we begin. If your pipes are too damaged for high-pressure cleaning, we’ll tell you upfront.
Most clay pipes from the 1960s and 70s can handle hydro jetting just fine, especially since we adjust the pressure based on what your specific pipes can take. The inspection shows us exactly where any weak spots are so we can work around them.
Actually, hydro jetting is often gentler on old pipes than aggressive snaking, which can crack clay pipes when operators force cables through tough blockages. With water jetting, we’re using controlled pressure that cleans without the mechanical stress of spinning cables.
Absolutely. High-pressure water jetting cuts through tree roots and flushes them out of your pipes completely. At 4,000 PSI, the water pressure acts like tiny knives that slice through roots and blast them downstream.
The difference between hydro jetting and snaking for root problems is huge. Snaking might cut through some roots, but it leaves root fragments and doesn’t remove the debris that roots trap. Those fragments keep growing, and the trapped debris catches more material.
Hydro jetting removes roots and everything they’ve collected over time. It also cleans your pipe walls, removing the biofilm that helps new roots take hold. You get a much longer-lasting solution, especially important in North Patchogue where mature trees are common.
For most North Patchogue homes, every 2-4 years works well for preventive maintenance. But it really depends on your specific situation—your pipe age, nearby trees, and how your household uses the drains.
If you have a lot of mature trees near your sewer line, you might benefit from more frequent cleaning. Clay pipes from before 1980 often need attention every 1-2 years because they develop cracks that let roots in more easily.
The best approach is having a camera inspection every few years to see how your pipes are holding up. We can spot developing problems before they become emergencies and recommend the right maintenance schedule for your specific property.
Regular drain cleaning usually means snaking—running a metal cable through your pipes to break up clogs. It works for simple blockages, but it only clears a hole through the center of the clog. All the buildup coating your pipe walls stays there.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean the interior of your pipes. It removes not just the clog, but years of grease, soap scum, mineral deposits, and debris that regular cleaning leaves behind.
Think of it like the difference between poking a stick through a clogged gutter versus pressure washing the whole thing clean. Both might restore flow temporarily, but only one actually solves the underlying problem that caused the clog in the first place.
Yes, especially when done as preventive maintenance before problems develop. Hydro jetting removes the buildup that catches debris and creates future clogs. Clean pipes stay clean much longer than pipes with residue coating the walls.
For North Patchogue homes dealing with Suffolk County’s sandy soil conditions, this is particularly important. Sand infiltration creates the perfect conditions for blockages when it mixes with grease and organic matter. Regular hydro jetting removes this mixture before it hardens into cement-like sludge.
The key is not waiting until you have a backup. Preventive hydro jetting every few years keeps your pipes flowing freely and helps you avoid emergency situations that always happen at the worst possible time.
