Hear From Our Clients
Your sewer lines flow freely again, without the grease buildup, tree roots, and debris that caused your headaches. You stop dealing with slow drains, weird smells, and that sinking feeling when you flush the toilet.
The difference between our hydro jetting and regular drain snaking is night and day. Snaking pokes a hole through the clog, but leaves most of the gunk stuck to your pipe walls. Our high-pressure water jets scrub every inch of pipe clean, removing years of accumulated grease, sludge, and mineral deposits.
Most customers tell us they wish they’d called sooner. Instead of dealing with the same clog every few months, you get pipes that stay clear for years.
We’ve been clearing sewer lines for Oakdale families for over 25 years, and we know exactly what causes problems in this area. Suffolk County’s older homes and tree-lined streets create unique challenges that out-of-town companies don’t understand.
Our family-owned team has handled everything from simple kitchen drain clogs to complete main line failures. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t, and we’ll never oversell you on services you don’t need.
When your neighbors recommend us, it’s because we show up on time, explain what’s wrong in plain English, and fix it right the first time.
First, we inspect your sewer line with a video camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with and make sure your pipes can handle high-pressure cleaning. This step prevents damage and lets us target the specific problem areas.
Next, we insert our specialized hydro jetting equipment through your cleanout access point. The high-pressure water stream – up to 3,000 PSI – blasts through grease, roots, and debris while our rotating nozzles scrub the entire pipe diameter clean.
Finally, we run the camera through again to confirm everything’s cleared and show you the results. You’ll see the difference immediately when you run water or flush – no more slow drainage or gurgling sounds.

Every sewer jetting job includes a complete video inspection before and after the cleaning, so you know exactly what we found and how thoroughly we cleared it. We use different nozzle attachments depending on your specific problem – cutting heads for roots, scrubbing nozzles for grease buildup.
Oakdale’s mature trees and older sewer systems mean root intrusion is common, especially in homes built before 1980. Our hydro jetting equipment cuts through most root problems without damaging your pipes, unlike mechanical rooters that can crack older clay or cast iron lines.
We also handle the cleanup afterward and provide maintenance recommendations based on your home’s specific situation. Many Oakdale residents benefit from annual preventive jetting, especially properties with large trees or frequent cooking grease disposal.
Hydro jetting typically costs more upfront than snaking – usually $300-600 depending on the severity of your blockage and length of line that needs cleaning. However, most customers save money long-term because the thorough cleaning lasts much longer.
Regular drain snaking might cost $150-250 but often needs to be repeated every few months when the same clog returns. Hydro jetting removes all the buildup that causes recurring problems, so you’re not calling us back every season.
For Oakdale homes with recurring drain issues, the math usually works out in favor of hydro jetting within the first year. Plus, you avoid the frustration and potential water damage from repeated backups.
We always start with a video camera inspection to check your pipe condition before using high-pressure water. If your sewer lines are severely cracked, collapsed, or extremely old, we’ll recommend gentler cleaning methods or repair options instead.
Most pipes in good structural condition can handle hydro jetting safely, including older cast iron and clay lines common in Oakdale. The water pressure is adjustable, and our experienced technicians know how to clean effectively without causing damage.
If we find any concerns during the initial inspection, we’ll explain your options clearly and never proceed with hydro jetting if it could cause problems. Your pipes’ safety comes first, and we’d rather recommend the right solution than cause expensive damage.
Most Oakdale homeowners benefit from hydro jetting every 1-2 years for preventive maintenance, but the frequency depends on your specific situation. Homes with large trees, frequent grease disposal, or older sewer lines may need annual cleaning.
If you’re currently dealing with slow drains, recurring clogs, or sewage odors, you need hydro jetting now rather than waiting. Once we get your lines completely clean, we can recommend a maintenance schedule based on what we found during the cleaning.
Commercial properties and restaurants typically need hydro jetting every 3-6 months due to higher grease accumulation. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your specific needs – we’re not interested in overselling maintenance you don’t actually need.
Snaking creates a hole through your clog but leaves most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. It’s like punching a tunnel through a mountain instead of removing the mountain entirely. The clog often returns within weeks or months.
Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely scrub your pipes clean, removing grease, mineral deposits, tree roots, and debris from the entire pipe diameter. It’s more like power-washing the inside of your sewer line until it looks almost new.
While snaking costs less initially, hydro jetting provides much longer-lasting results. If you’ve had the same drain snaked multiple times, hydro jetting will likely solve the underlying problem and prevent future recurring clogs.
Yes, hydro jetting effectively cuts through most tree root intrusions and flushes the debris away completely. The high-pressure water stream can handle roots that mechanical snakes struggle with, and our specialized cutting nozzles slice through root masses.
However, hydro jetting won’t prevent roots from growing back if there are cracks or joints in your sewer line where roots can enter. We’ll identify these problem areas during our video inspection and recommend permanent solutions if needed.
For minor to moderate root problems, many Oakdale customers find that annual hydro jetting keeps roots under control and prevents major blockages. It’s much more effective than repeated snaking, which often just breaks roots into pieces that reform quickly.
Most residential sewer jetting jobs take 1-3 hours depending on the length of your sewer line and severity of the blockage. We include video inspection time before and after the cleaning in that estimate.
Simple maintenance cleaning on lines in good condition usually takes about an hour. More complex jobs involving heavy grease buildup, extensive root removal, or longer sewer runs can take up to half a day.
We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when we arrive and assess your specific situation. Unlike some companies that rush through the job, we take the time to clean your lines thoroughly and verify the results with our camera system.
