You know that feeling when your drains finally work the way they’re supposed to? That’s what happens when you stop settling for temporary fixes and get the real thing.
Most drain cleaning just pokes a hole through the clog. Your water flows for a few weeks, maybe a month, then you’re back to the same slow drains and funky smells. Sewer jetting is different – it strips everything off your pipe walls with high-pressure water, leaving them clean from end to end.
The result is drains that flow fast, stay clear longer, and don’t back up into your basement when you least expect it. No more holding your breath every time you run the washing machine.
We’ve been cleaning Suffolk County’s toughest drain problems since 1998. Not because we’re the cheapest – because we actually fix things the first time.
Riverhead’s infrastructure is under strain. The town’s sewer system is running at capacity, and older homes here deal with tree roots, aging pipes, and backups that other companies just can’t seem to solve permanently. We see it every day.
That’s why we invested in professional-grade hydro jetting equipment and learned how to use it right. Military families, first responders, and seniors get our discount because this community has given us everything.
First, we inspect your line with a camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. No guessing, no surprises about what’s actually causing your problem.
Then we insert a specialized jetting hose into your cleanout and blast high-pressure water through your pipes. This isn’t your garden hose – we’re talking 3,000+ PSI that cuts through grease, roots, mineral buildup, and decades of accumulated gunk.
The water scours every inch of your pipe walls clean, then flushes all that debris out of your system completely. When we’re done, your pipes look like they did when they were first installed. We’ll show you the difference with a final camera inspection.

Professional sewer jetting removes everything that snaking leaves behind. Grease that’s been coating your pipes for years, tree roots that grow back every season, and mineral deposits that slow your flow to a crawl.
In Riverhead, we see a lot of homes built in the 60s and 70s with cast iron and clay pipes. These materials collect buildup differently than newer PVC, and they need the thorough cleaning that only high-pressure water can provide. Regular snaking just doesn’t cut it.
Our jetting service includes video inspection before and after, so you can see exactly what was in your pipes and how clean they are now. We also identify any structural issues that need attention before they become expensive emergencies.
Sewer jetting typically runs $350-600, while snaking costs $150-300. Here’s why the extra cost matters: snaking just pokes a hole through your clog, so you’ll need it done again in a few months.
Jetting strips your pipes completely clean, so you get years instead of weeks before problems return. When you factor in how often you’d need snaking, jetting actually costs less over time. Plus, you avoid the stress and mess of recurring backups.
For Riverhead homes with older pipes and tree root problems, jetting is often the only thing that works long-term. We’ve cleaned lines that had been snaked six times in two years – after jetting, they stayed clear for three years and counting.
Not when it’s done by professionals who know what they’re doing. We always start with a camera inspection to check your pipe condition first. If your pipes are too fragile for jetting, we’ll tell you upfront instead of causing damage.
Most pipes in Riverhead can handle professional jetting just fine, including older cast iron and clay. The key is using the right pressure and nozzle for your specific situation. We adjust our equipment based on what your pipes can safely handle.
The bigger risk is actually leaving buildup and roots in your pipes. That debris puts constant pressure on weak spots and causes more damage over time than proper cleaning ever would.
Most Riverhead homes need jetting every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Homes with big trees nearby might need it annually because roots grow back. Houses with older cast iron pipes that collect grease might need it every 18 months.
Commercial properties usually need jetting every 6-12 months because of higher usage and grease from food service. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on what we find in your pipes, not some generic schedule.
The best approach is preventive jetting before you have problems. It’s cheaper than emergency calls, and you avoid the mess and stress of backups. We can set up a maintenance schedule that keeps your drains flowing and your costs predictable.
Yes, professional jetting cuts through most tree roots effectively. The high-pressure water slices through root masses that snaking can’t touch, then flushes all the debris out of your system completely.
However, jetting doesn’t kill the root system, so roots will eventually grow back. For Riverhead properties with big maples and oaks, we typically recommend annual jetting to keep roots under control. It’s much cheaper than digging up your yard to replace the whole line.
For severe root problems, we might recommend combining jetting with root-killing treatments or discussing pipe lining options. But in most cases, regular jetting keeps root intrusion manageable and your drains flowing properly.
Chemical cleaners are basically useless for main sewer lines, and they can damage your pipes over time. They might dissolve some grease near your drain, but they won’t reach the buildup that’s actually causing your problems.
Jetting uses only water – no chemicals that can corrode your pipes or harm the environment. The high-pressure water physically removes everything from your pipe walls, giving you a complete clean instead of just dissolving surface debris.
Plus, chemicals create toxic fumes and can react dangerously with other substances in your pipes. Professional jetting is safer for your family, your pipes, and the environment. When you see the before and after camera footage, you’ll understand why chemicals never worked.
Yes, we handle sewer emergencies throughout Riverhead and Suffolk County. When your main line backs up into your basement or multiple drains stop working, you need help fast – not an appointment next week.
Emergency jetting costs more than scheduled service because we’re dropping everything to help you right away. But when sewage is backing up into your home, the extra cost is worth avoiding water damage and health hazards.
We keep our jetting equipment ready and our trucks stocked because emergencies don’t wait for business hours. Most emergency calls can be handled the same day, getting your drains flowing and your family back to normal as quickly as possible.
