Sewer Cleaning
When the main sewer line is partially blocked by grease, roots, or scale, individual drain fixes won't last. Sewer cleaning restores flow through the entire line.
Sewer lines accumulate grease, soap scum, and mineral scale over years, gradually narrowing the pipe's usable diameter until backups become frequent. Root intrusion at pipe joints is another common cause across NYC's older tree-lined blocks.
We typically recommend hydro-jetting for main line cleaning, which uses high-pressure water to scour the full interior of the pipe rather than just puncturing a path through the blockage, extending the time before the next clog.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A high-pressure water process that scours the full interior of the sewer pipe, removing grease, scale, and root intrusion far more thoroughly than snaking alone.
We assess pipe condition first via camera; jetting pressure is adjusted or an alternative method used if the pipe is too fragile.
Homes with a history of root intrusion or older clay pipe often benefit from cleaning every 1-2 years as preventive maintenance.
No — cleaning restores flow, but structural damage requires sewer repair. We'll let you know if that's the case after inspection.
Most residential jobs are completed in two to three hours depending on line length and blockage severity.
