Professional Sewer Jetting Process

How We Clear Your Toughest Blockages

First, we inspect your sewer line with a camera to see exactly what we’re dealing with and make sure your pipes can handle high-pressure cleaning. This step is crucial—you don’t want someone blasting 4,000 PSI water through damaged pipes. Next, we insert the hydro jetting hose through your sewer cleanout and position it at the blockage. The specialized nozzle shoots high-pressure water in multiple directions, cutting through grease, roots, and debris while the backward-facing jets propel the equipment through your line. The water pressure—up to 4,000 PSI—scours the entire pipe interior, not just the center. This removes buildup that’s been accumulating for years, restoring your pipe to nearly its original diameter. All the debris gets flushed out to the main sewer system where it belongs. Finally, we run the camera through again to confirm everything’s clear and show you the results. You’ll see the difference immediately when you run water through your drains.

What You Get With Professional Hydro Jetting

Our sewer jetting service includes complete main line cleaning using commercial-grade equipment that most companies don’t have. We’re talking about 4,000+ PSI water pressure that cuts through tree roots, decades of grease buildup, and mineral deposits that regular snaking can’t touch. For Smithtown homeowners, this matters because many properties here have older sewer systems that accumulate serious buildup over time. The heavy clay soil common in Suffolk County also creates unique drainage challenges that require thorough cleaning, not just quick fixes. You get before-and-after camera inspection, so you can see exactly what was blocking your line and confirm it’s completely cleared. We also provide maintenance recommendations based on your specific situation—some homes need annual service, others can go longer depending on usage and pipe condition. Most importantly, you get results that last. While snaking might clear a path through a clog, hydro jetting removes the underlying cause, which means you’re not calling us back in three months with the same problem.

How much does sewer jetting cost in Smithtown, NY?

Professional sewer jetting in Smithtown typically runs $350-$600 for most residential jobs, depending on the severity of your blockage and accessibility of your sewer line. This includes camera inspection, the actual hydro jetting service, and cleanup. The cost depends on several factors: how long your sewer line is, how severe the blockage is, and whether we can easily access your cleanout. If your cleanout is buried or in a hard-to-reach basement location, that adds some time and cost. What you’re paying for is professional-grade equipment and expertise that most homeowners can’t access on their own. The high-pressure water systems we use cost tens of thousands of dollars and require training to operate safely. When you compare this to the cost of repeated service calls for temporary fixes, or the potential property damage from a major backup, hydro jetting is usually the most cost-effective solution.

Is hydro jetting better than snaking for sewer lines?

Hydro jetting is significantly more effective than snaking for most sewer line problems, especially in Smithtown where older pipes tend to have heavy buildup. Snaking only pokes a hole through the center of a blockage, while hydro jetting cleans the entire pipe interior. Think of it this way: snaking is like poking a straw through a clogged pipe. You might get water flowing again, but all that grease, soap scum, and debris is still coating your pipe walls. Within weeks or months, you’re dealing with the same problem again because the underlying cause wasn’t addressed. Hydro jetting uses 4,000+ PSI water pressure to scour every inch of your pipe interior, removing years of accumulated buildup. This restores your pipe to nearly its original diameter and prevents quick re-clogging. For tough blockages like tree roots or heavy grease buildup common in kitchen lines, snaking often can’t even penetrate the blockage, while hydro jetting cuts right through it.

How often should I have my sewer line hydro jetted?

Most Smithtown homeowners benefit from professional sewer jetting every 18-24 months as preventive maintenance, but your specific needs depend on several factors including the age of your pipes, household size, and what goes down your drains. If you have older cast iron or clay pipes, you might need more frequent service because these materials are more prone to buildup and root intrusion. Homes with garbage disposals or heavy cooking also tend to need more frequent cleaning due to grease accumulation. The best approach is to start with a thorough cleaning and camera inspection, then we can recommend a maintenance schedule based on what we find. Some homes can go 2-3 years between services, while others with heavy usage or problematic pipes might benefit from annual cleaning. Regular maintenance is much less expensive than emergency service calls when your main line backs up into your basement.

Can hydro jetting damage my old sewer pipes?

When performed by experienced professionals, hydro jetting is safe for most pipe types, but we always start with a camera inspection to assess your pipe condition before using high-pressure water. This is especially important for older Smithtown homes with aging sewer systems. If we find cracks, severe corrosion, or other structural problems during the inspection, we’ll recommend alternative cleaning methods or discuss repair options before proceeding. The last thing you want is to turn a cleaning service into a major pipe replacement project. We adjust water pressure based on your specific pipe material and condition. Clay pipes, cast iron, and PVC all require different approaches. We also use specialized nozzles designed for different types of blockages and pipe conditions. This professional approach ensures effective cleaning without causing damage to pipes that are still structurally sound.

What types of blockages can sewer jetting remove?

Hydro jetting can remove virtually any blockage that’s causing problems in your sewer line, including heavy grease buildup, soap scum, mineral deposits, small to medium tree roots, and years of accumulated debris that snaking can’t touch. For Smithtown homeowners, the most common blockages we see are grease accumulation from kitchen drains, root intrusion from mature trees, and mineral buildup from hard water. The high-pressure water cuts through grease like a hot knife through butter, and the specialized nozzles can break up and flush out root masses that have been growing in your pipes for years. We can also clear blockages caused by flushable wipes (which aren’t actually flushable), feminine hygiene products, and other items that shouldn’t go down drains but often do. The only things hydro jetting can’t handle are major structural problems like collapsed pipes or large objects that are completely blocking the line—but our camera inspection identifies these issues before we start cleaning.
