Hydro Jetting in New York for Drains and Sewer Lines

It is safe for most pipes that are structurally sound, including older cast iron and clay. That is why we run a camera first. If we see a collapsed, badly cracked or separated section, we recommend repair instead of jetting, because high pressure water should not be pushed through broken pipe.

Jetting usually keeps a line clear much longer than snaking because it cleans the full pipe wall instead of opening a small path. How long depends on what caused the buildup. Grease and roots come back eventually, but at a far slower rate after a thorough jetting.

Yes. Root cutting nozzles slice through roots and flush them down the line. Jetting does not seal the cracks or joints the roots came through, so roots can return over time. The camera shows where they are entering, which helps you decide between periodic jetting and a lasting sewer repair.

For a single clog in a sink or tub, regular cabling is usually enough. Hydro jetting makes sense when clogs keep coming back, when grease or roots are the cause, or when several drains are slow at once. We will recommend the simpler option when it will do the job.

Not when it is done properly. We protect the floor around the access point and control the hose so water and debris go down the line, not onto your floor. Clean up is part of the job, and reviews regularly mention that our team leaves the work area clean.

It can clear the line between the house and the septic tank of grease, sludge and roots. Jetting does not pump the tank itself. If the tank is full, the line will keep backing up, so we will let you know if what we see points to the tank needing pumping.
