When your kitchen drains back up every few months or your main sewer line runs slow, you’re dealing with buildup that snaking can’t fix. Sewer jetting uses 4,000 PSI water pressure to completely scour your pipe walls clean—not just poke a hole through the center like traditional methods.
This means no more grease-clogged kitchen sinks that slow down every time you do dishes. No more tree roots growing back into your main line within months. No more raw sewage backing up into your basement when you least expect it.
The difference is lasting results. Instead of calling for drain cleaning every season, your pipes stay clear for years. You save money, avoid emergencies, and never have to worry about whether your drains can handle normal household use.
AAA Dependable Cesspool has been solving Cold Spring Harbor’s toughest sewer problems since 1998. We understand this area’s specific challenges—homes built in the 1950s with aging cast iron pipes, mature oak and maple trees whose roots seek out sewer lines, and the mineral-heavy Long Island water that creates stubborn buildup over time.
As a family-owned company, we’ve earned our reputation one job at a time. No overselling, no surprise charges, no promises we can’t keep. When we say we’ll be there Tuesday morning, we show up Tuesday morning. When we quote a price, that’s what you pay.
Our 325+ five-star reviews and A+ Better Business Bureau rating come from neighbors who’ve experienced the difference between real expertise and companies that just want to get in and out quickly. Licensed and fully insured, we offer military and senior discounts because we believe in taking care of the community that’s supported us for over two decades.
Every job starts with a camera inspection of your sewer line. We need to see exactly what’s causing your problems and confirm your pipes can safely handle high-pressure cleaning. No guesswork—we know what we’re dealing with before any water enters your system.
Next comes the actual hydro jetting. We insert a specialized hose through your sewer cleanout and blast water at up to 4,000 PSI throughout your entire line. Forward-facing jets break apart years of grease buildup, soap scum, and tree root intrusions. Backward-facing jets flush all that debris completely out of your system.
The process scours every inch of your pipe’s interior walls, removing the sticky residue where future clogs start. When we’re finished, your sewer line is as clean as the day it was installed. Most jobs take 1-2 hours, and you can use your drains normally as soon as we’re done.

Your sewer jetting service includes a complete video inspection, professional-grade hydro jetting with industrial equipment, and a thorough cleaning of your entire sewer line from your house to the street connection. You’re not paying for a quick fix—you’re getting a complete solution.
Cold Spring Harbor’s unique conditions require experienced handling. The area’s clay soil and high water table can cause drainage issues that inexperienced companies miss. Many homes here have sewer lines that run under mature landscaping, requiring careful access and specialized techniques to avoid property damage.
You’ll also get honest maintenance advice. We’ll explain what caused your specific problem, show you how to prevent it from happening again, and recommend a realistic maintenance schedule based on your household’s actual usage patterns. No scare tactics, no unnecessary upselling—just straightforward guidance from professionals who plan to serve your neighborhood for decades to come.
Most residential sewer jetting jobs in Cold Spring Harbor cost between $450-650, depending on your sewer line length, the severity of blockages, and how easy it is to access your cleanout. This typically covers your entire main sewer line from house to street.
That investment often pays for itself by preventing recurring problems. Many customers tell us they used to spend $200-300 every few months on snake-outs and temporary fixes. Now they spend less annually on one thorough hydro jetting service that keeps their pipes clear all year.
We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re paying with no surprise charges or hidden fees.
Absolutely, when performed by experienced professionals who start with a proper inspection. Since many Cold Spring Harbor homes were built in the 1950s and 60s, we always begin with a camera inspection to assess your pipes’ condition before introducing high-pressure water.
The inspection shows us any cracks, weak joints, or deteriorated sections that need special attention. We then adjust water pressure and technique based on your specific pipe material, age, and condition. Cast iron, clay, PVC—each requires different handling for safe, effective cleaning.
If we find pipes too damaged for hydro jetting, we’ll explain your options clearly and help you understand the most cost-effective way forward. We’d rather give you honest advice than cause expensive damage.
Most Cold Spring Harbor homeowners benefit from hydro jetting every 2-3 years as preventive maintenance, though your specific needs depend on several factors. Homes with garbage disposals, large families, or those beautiful mature trees that make this area so desirable may need more frequent service.
The key is staying ahead of problems instead of reacting to emergencies. Regular maintenance prevents the gradual buildup that leads to backups, protects your pipes from damage, and ensures your system handles everything you put down the drain.
After we service your system, we’ll recommend a maintenance schedule based on what we actually found in your pipes and your household’s usage patterns—not some generic timeline that doesn’t fit your situation.
Snaking creates a hole through the center of a clog, giving you temporary relief while leaving most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. Hydro jetting completely removes all debris, grease, and mineral deposits from your entire pipe interior—like pressure washing the inside of your sewer line.
Think of it this way: snaking is like poking a pencil through a clogged straw. Water flows, but the underlying problem remains. Hydro jetting cleans the entire straw interior, removing everything that caused the blockage in the first place.
That’s why snaking typically needs repeating every few months, while hydro jetting keeps pipes clear for years. The upfront cost is higher, but you save money by avoiding those recurring service calls that add up over time.
Yes, high-pressure hydro jetting effectively cuts through and removes most tree root intrusions in sewer lines. The 4,000 PSI water pressure can slice through root masses and flush them completely out of your system—no chemicals needed.
This is especially relevant here in Cold Spring Harbor, where those gorgeous mature oaks and maples that give the area its character also send roots seeking moisture in sewer lines. Unlike chemical root treatments that can harm your landscaping, hydro jetting uses only water to solve the problem safely.
However, if roots have caused significant pipe damage—cracks or collapsed sections—you may need repairs along with the cleaning. Our camera inspection shows the full extent of any damage so you understand exactly what you’re dealing with before we start work.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency sewer jetting throughout Cold Spring Harbor and all of Suffolk County. When raw sewage backs up into your home or your main line completely fails, you need immediate response—not an appointment next week.
Emergency service does cost more than scheduled maintenance, but we understand sewer emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. We’ll respond as quickly as possible to assess the situation and get your system flowing again so you can get back to normal life.
The best way to avoid emergencies is preventive maintenance. Regular hydro jetting catches problems while they’re still manageable, saving you the stress, mess, and expense of dealing with a crisis situation.
