High-Pressure Water Jetting Process

How We Clear Your Lines Completely

First, we run a camera inspection through your pipes to see exactly what we’re dealing with and check the condition of your lines. No guesswork, no surprises. Next, we insert the jetting hose through your cleanout and position the specialized nozzle. The machine builds pressure—anywhere from 2,000 to 4,000 PSI depending on what your pipes can handle and what needs to be cleared. The high-pressure water blasts forward and backward simultaneously, cutting through tree roots, dissolving grease buildup, and scouring the pipe walls clean. Everything gets flushed down to the municipal system where it belongs. The whole process typically takes about an hour, and when it’s done, your pipes are as clean as the day they were installed.

What's Included in Professional Jetting

You get a thorough camera inspection before and after the jetting to document the condition and results. We use the right nozzle and pressure settings for your specific pipe material—whether it’s PVC, cast iron, or clay. In Poquott, many homes still have original clay sewer lines from the 1950s and 60s. These need careful pressure adjustment to avoid damage while still getting them completely clean. We know which neighborhoods have which pipe materials and adjust accordingly. We clear everything from kitchen grease and bathroom hair clogs to tree roots that have invaded your main line. The service includes removing all debris, not just creating a hole through it like snaking does. You also get advice on how to maintain your newly cleaned system and prevent future problems.

How much does sewer jetting cost in Poquott, NY?

Sewer jetting typically costs between $350 and $600 for residential service in the Poquott area. The exact price depends on the length of your sewer line, how severe the blockage is, and whether any additional services like camera inspection are needed. While this costs more than basic snaking, it’s actually more economical long-term because it prevents clogs from recurring for months or years instead of weeks. Many Poquott homeowners find they save money overall because they’re not calling for emergency service every few months. We provide upfront pricing with no surprise charges. We’ll inspect your line first and tell you exactly what the job will cost before starting any work.

Is hydro jetting better than snaking for sewer lines?

Hydro jetting is significantly more effective than snaking for main sewer lines. Snaking only pokes a hole through the clog, leaving most of the buildup stuck to your pipe walls. Within weeks or months, that remaining debris catches more waste and you’re clogged again. Jetting uses high-pressure water to completely scour the interior of your pipes clean. It removes grease, mineral deposits, soap scum, and even tree roots that snaking can’t touch. The result lasts much longer—often years instead of months. For simple drain clogs inside your house, snaking might be sufficient. But for main sewer line problems, especially recurring ones, jetting is the better solution that actually solves the problem instead of just temporarily relieving symptoms.

Can hydro jetting damage old pipes in Poquott homes?

Professional hydro jetting is safe for pipes in good condition, but it requires proper assessment first. Many Poquott homes have older clay or cast iron sewer lines that need careful pressure adjustment to avoid damage. That’s why we always run a camera inspection before jetting. We check for cracks, collapsed sections, or severely deteriorated pipes that might not handle the pressure. If your pipes are too fragile, we’ll recommend snaking or repair options instead. When done correctly with the right pressure settings, jetting is safe for PVC, ABS, clay, and cast iron pipes. The key is having experienced technicians who know how to adjust the equipment for your specific pipe material and condition.

How often should I have my sewer line jetted?

Most Poquott homeowners benefit from professional jetting every 2-3 years as preventive maintenance, though this varies based on your household size, what goes down your drains, and the age of your pipes. If you have large trees near your sewer line, you might need jetting more frequently to cut through root intrusion. Homes with older clay pipes or frequent grease disposal may also need more regular service. The best approach is to have jetting done when you start noticing slower drains or minor backups, before they become major problems. We can assess your specific situation and recommend a maintenance schedule that prevents emergencies while avoiding unnecessary service calls.

What's the difference between sewer jetting and regular drain cleaning?

Regular drain cleaning typically means snaking individual drains inside your house—kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, or toilets. This handles localized clogs from hair, soap, or food particles using a mechanical auger. Sewer jetting addresses your main sewer line that carries waste from your entire house to the street. This requires much more powerful equipment and specialized training because you’re dealing with larger pipes, more serious blockages, and higher stakes if something goes wrong. The main line is where tree roots infiltrate, where years of grease accumulate, and where problems can cause sewage to back up into your basement or yard. That’s why it requires the high-pressure water cleaning that only professional jetting equipment can provide.

Does sewer jetting work on tree roots in pipes?

Yes, high-pressure water jetting is extremely effective at cutting through tree roots that have grown into your sewer line. The pressurized water stream can slice through roots and flush them out of the system completely. In Poquott’s established neighborhoods, root intrusion is a common problem, especially with older clay pipes that have joints where roots can enter. Jetting not only removes existing roots but also cleans out the debris they’ve trapped. However, jetting is a temporary solution for root problems. If roots keep growing back, you’ll need either regular maintenance jetting or permanent pipe repair to seal the entry points. We can assess your situation and recommend the most cost-effective long-term approach.
