High-pressure water that scours grease, scale and root hair off the pipe wall instead of just punching a hole through the middle of the clog.
These are the situations we handle every week across New York. If yours is on this list, it is worth a call rather than a wait.
If water is running and you cannot stop it, or sewage is coming into the building, call (888) 809-6756 now. We will tell you what to shut off while the truck is on its way.
Jetting a cracked or collapsed pipe makes things worse. We look before we jet, every time.
Different heads for grease, roots and hard scale. Pressure is set for the pipe material and condition.
The line is cleaned back to its original diameter rather than just opened enough to drain.
A second pass on camera confirms the pipe is actually clean and shows any defect the build-up was hiding.
Every job is quoted flat, before work starts. What moves that number up or down is usually one of these.
| Factor | What it means for your quote |
|---|---|
| Access | An accessible basement run costs less than the same repair inside a finished wall, a tight crawlspace or a third-floor riser. |
| What has actually failed | A worn part is a fraction of the cost of a failed assembly. We diagnose before quoting rather than pricing for the worst case. |
| Age and material | Old galvanised pipe, brittle cast iron and non-standard fittings all add time. We tell you if we find them. |
| Scope you choose | Where there is a cheaper repair and a longer-lasting replacement, you get both prices and you decide. |
Nights, weekends and holidays are priced the same way. There is no after-hours multiplier added to the invoice at the end.
Frozen pipe in the crawlspace during that January cold snap. Thawed it, found the split, fixed it the same visit.

Water heater died the morning we had family arriving. New one in and running by two o'clock.

Shower valve had been scalding us for months. Replaced the cartridge in half an hour.

In sound cast iron and clay, yes, at the right pressure. In a pipe that is already cracked or offset it is not, which is why we camera the line first.
A cable bores a channel through the blockage. Jetting strips the buildup off the wall, so the line stays clear far longer.
Most commercial kitchens do well on a quarterly or twice-yearly schedule, depending on volume and how well the grease trap is managed.

Call and describe what you are seeing. We will tell you whether to shut the main off, give you a real arrival window, and quote a flat price before anything starts.
