When your sewer line gets hit with 4,000 pounds of water pressure, something’s gotta give—and it’s not going to be your pipes. The grease buildup, tree roots, and that concrete-hard sand sludge that’s been choking your system for years gets completely blasted out.
You’re not getting a temporary fix that’ll have you calling someone back in six months. This is the kind of cleaning that scrapes your pipes down to bare metal, removing every bit of buildup that’s been slowing your drainage and creating perfect conditions for the next clog.
Most homeowners in Central Islip see their lines stay clear for years instead of months. That’s fewer emergency calls, less stress about backups, and more money staying in your pocket where it belongs.
Twenty-five years working Suffolk County’s unique challenges has taught us a few things. Like how Long Island’s sandy soil doesn’t just wash through your pipes—it settles in low spots and mixes with grease to create sludge that’s harder than concrete.
We’ve been the family business Central Islip trusts since 1998, not because we’re the cheapest, but because we understand what you’re dealing with. Your neighbor’s tree roots don’t care about your schedule, and neither do we when you need help.
That’s why we offer military, first responder, and senior discounts. It’s also why we show up when we say we will, explain what we’re doing, and clean up after ourselves. Over 325 five-star reviews don’t happen by accident.
First, we inspect your line with a camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with. No guessing, no surprises about what’s down there or what it’ll take to fix it.
Then comes the jetting itself. We feed a high-pressure hose through your cleanout and blast 4,000 pounds of water pressure through your pipes. This isn’t like snaking, where we just punch a hole through the clog. The water pressure creates a powerful cone that scrapes every inch of your pipe walls clean.
The debris gets flushed completely out of your system—roots, grease, sand, soap scum, everything. When we’re done, your pipes look like they did when they were first installed. We’ll run the camera through one more time so you can see the difference for yourself.

Central Islip’s soil conditions create problems you won’t find everywhere. The sandy soil that makes Long Island what it is also infiltrates your sewer lines through the same cracks that let tree roots in. Over time, that sand settles and hardens, especially when it mixes with grease and soap residue.
Traditional drain cleaning just pushes through this buildup, leaving most of it stuck to your pipe walls. That’s why you end up calling for service every few months. Our hydro jetting removes everything—the sand, the roots, the grease, all of it.
For Central Islip homeowners, this means your investment in professional cleaning actually pays off. Instead of temporary relief, you get years of clear drainage. Most of our customers schedule maintenance every 2-3 years instead of emergency calls every few months.
Hydro jetting typically costs $300-600, while snaking runs $150-300. Here’s the thing though—snaking only creates a hole through the clog, leaving buildup on your pipe walls that causes problems to return quickly.
With hydro jetting, your pipes stay clear 4-6 times longer than they would after snaking. When you factor in fewer service calls over time, jetting often costs less in the long run. Most of our Central Islip customers find they’re calling us every 2-3 years instead of every 6-8 months.
We’ll always be upfront about what your specific situation needs. Sometimes snaking is enough, but for Long Island’s unique sand and root problems, jetting usually makes more financial sense.
We always start with a camera inspection to check your pipe condition before any high-pressure work. Modern PVC and most cast iron pipes handle jetting pressure without problems, but older clay pipes or severely corroded lines might need a gentler approach.
The inspection shows us exactly what we’re working with—cracks, joint separation, or pipe material that might not handle 4,000 PSI. If your pipes aren’t suitable for jetting, we’ll recommend snaking or other methods that won’t cause damage.
Twenty-five years in Suffolk County means we’ve seen every type of pipe and know how to handle each one safely. We’re not interested in fixing one problem just to create another one.
Most Central Islip homes benefit from professional jetting every 2-3 years, but it depends on your specific situation. Homes with large trees nearby might need more frequent service due to root intrusion. Houses with older pipes or heavy usage might need attention sooner.
The key is staying ahead of major problems. Regular maintenance prevents those middle-of-the-night sewer backups that flood your basement and cost thousands in cleanup and repairs. Suffolk County homes average $660,000 in value—protecting that investment with preventive maintenance makes sense.
We can set up a maintenance schedule based on your home’s specific needs after we complete your initial cleaning and inspection.
Long Island’s sandy soil creates unique challenges you don’t see everywhere. Sand infiltrates sewer lines through the same cracks that allow root intrusion, settling in low spots and pipe joints. When this sand mixes with grease and soap residue, it creates a cement-like sludge that’s nearly impossible to remove with basic drain cleaning.
Traditional snaking might break through temporarily, but it can’t remove the hardened buildup coating your pipe walls. That’s why Long Island homeowners often deal with recurring problems every few months instead of every few years.
Our hydro jetting completely removes this sand and debris combination, giving you the kind of long-term results that make sense for Suffolk County’s specific conditions.
Yes, hydro jetting cuts through most tree roots effectively. The high-pressure water stream can slice through root masses that have been growing in your pipes for years. Unlike snaking, which might only cut roots in the immediate area, jetting clears roots from the entire pipe diameter.
However, jetting won’t prevent roots from growing back. Tree roots are attracted to the moisture and nutrients in sewer lines, so they’ll eventually return. For properties with significant root problems, we might recommend more frequent maintenance or discuss options for addressing the root source.
The good news is that regular jetting keeps root intrusion manageable and prevents the kind of major blockages that cause sewage backups in your home.
Chemical drain cleaners are temporary fixes that often make problems worse over time. They might dissolve some organic material, but they can’t remove sand buildup, roots, or grease that’s hardened on pipe walls. Plus, harsh chemicals can damage your pipes and harm the environment.
Hydro jetting uses only water—no chemicals that could corrode your pipes or contaminate groundwater. It’s completely safe for septic systems, which many Central Islip homes still rely on. The mechanical action of high-pressure water removes everything, giving you a thorough cleaning that chemicals simply can’t match.
Most importantly, jetting addresses the root cause of recurring clogs instead of just treating symptoms. You get lasting results instead of temporary relief.
