When your drains start backing up again three months after the last service call, you know something’s wrong. Regular snaking just pokes holes through clogs. Sewer jetting does what it’s supposed to do.
High-pressure water jets scour every inch of your pipes clean. We’re talking about removing decades of grease, soap buildup, tree roots, and everything else that’s been choking your lines. Your pipes drain fast again, and they stay that way.
No more slow kitchen sinks. No more toilets that won’t flush right. No more calling for service every few months because the problem keeps coming back.
AAA Dependable Cesspool has been handling sewer and drain problems in Hauppauge since 1998. That’s over 25 years of dealing with Suffolk County’s specific challenges – from the tree root issues that plague older neighborhoods to the grease buildup that clogs commercial kitchens.
Every job gets the same approach: honest assessment, transparent pricing, and equipment that actually works. We offer military, first responder, and senior discounts because community matters. We support veteran organizations like Paws of War because doing right by people extends beyond the job site.
Small team, personal attention, and work that holds up over time. That’s how local businesses earn trust in Hauppauge.
First, we inspect your line with a camera to see exactly what’s causing the problem. No guessing, no assumptions. You see what we see on the monitor.
Then comes the hydro jetting. A specialized nozzle goes into your sewer line, connected to equipment that delivers up to 4,000 PSI of water pressure. The high-pressure jets spin and blast in all directions, scouring the entire pipe diameter clean. Tree roots, grease, mineral buildup, years of accumulated debris – it all gets flushed out.
After the cleaning, we run the camera through again so you can see the difference. Clean pipes, full flow, problem solved. The whole process typically takes a few hours, depending on your line’s condition and length.

Every sewer jetting job includes before and after video inspection, so you see exactly what was wrong and confirm it’s fixed. The equipment we use delivers commercial-grade cleaning power that handles everything from residential kitchen grease to tree root infiltration in main sewer lines.
Hauppauge’s older neighborhoods deal with specific issues. Clay pipes from the 1960s and 70s develop cracks that attract tree roots. The mature trees throughout Suffolk County send aggressive root systems toward any moisture source they can find. Our hydro jetting equipment cuts through roots and removes them completely.
For newer homes, the problem is usually buildup. Soap, grease, food particles, and everything else that goes down drains accumulates over years. Regular snaking might clear a path, but hydro jetting removes the buildup from pipe walls, giving you a fresh start.
Sewer jetting in Suffolk County typically starts around $500 for residential service, though the exact cost depends on your pipe length, access points, and the severity of blockages. That’s significantly more than basic snaking, but you’re paying for equipment that actually solves the problem instead of just temporarily clearing it.
Most homeowners find hydro jetting saves money long-term because you’re not calling for service every few months. When pipes are properly cleaned, they stay clear for years instead of weeks. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying.
Snaking pokes a hole through clogs, but it leaves most of the buildup on your pipe walls. Hydro jetting removes everything – grease, roots, mineral deposits, decades of accumulation. Think of snaking as temporary relief and hydro jetting as actually fixing the problem.
If you’ve had the same drain issues repeatedly after snaking, that’s because the underlying buildup never got removed. Hydro jetting scours the entire pipe diameter clean, so problems don’t come back as quickly. For tree root problems especially, the high-pressure water cuts through roots completely instead of just breaking them apart.
Most residential properties in Hauppauge benefit from hydro jetting every 1-2 years, depending on usage and what goes down your drains. If you have mature trees on your property, you might need service more frequently because roots grow back.
Commercial properties, especially restaurants, typically need jetting every 3-6 months due to heavy grease accumulation. The frequency really depends on your specific situation – pipe age, tree proximity, household size, and how careful you are about what goes down drains.
Professional hydro jetting is safe for most pipe materials when done correctly. Modern PVC, cast iron, and even older clay pipes can handle the water pressure when a trained technician controls the equipment. That’s why we always start with a camera inspection – to check pipe condition before cleaning.
Very old or already damaged pipes might not be candidates for high-pressure jetting. In those cases, we’ll recommend gentler methods or discuss pipe repair options. The key is having experienced technicians who know how to adjust pressure and technique based on what they find.
Yes, hydro jetting is highly effective at cutting through and removing tree roots from sewer lines. The high-pressure water jets can slice through root masses and flush them out completely, unlike snaking which often just breaks roots apart and leaves pieces behind.
However, if roots have caused significant pipe damage, jetting alone might not be enough. That’s why we inspect first – to determine whether cleaning will solve the problem or if you need pipe repair. For ongoing root problems, we can discuss preventive maintenance schedules to keep roots from reestablishing.
Multiple slow drains throughout your house, especially when combined with gurgling sounds from toilets, usually indicate a main line problem that needs professional attention. If you’ve had repeated clogs after snaking, or if you notice sewer odors in your yard, those are strong indicators that buildup or blockages require hydro jetting.
Tree root problems often show up as recurring clogs in the same location, or you might notice unusually green patches in your lawn where roots are accessing leaked sewage. If basic drain cleaning hasn’t solved your problems, or if issues keep returning every few months, it’s time for a thorough pipe cleaning.
