Drain and sewer cleaning in Staten Island
Staten Island's single-family houses have longer sewer laterals and more trees than the rest of the city, so roots are one of the most common causes of backups here. We clear the main, camera it and jet roots back so they stay out longer. 24/7, with published starting prices.

Staten Island drain problems we see most
Tree roots in long laterals
Staten Island houses often sit farther back from the street, so the sewer lateral runs a long way under lawns, driveways and trees. Roots enter at joints and grow until the line blocks. Root jetting every one to two years keeps most lines open.
Basement and garage backups
Houses with finished basements and below-grade garages take the damage first when the main blocks. See floor drain backing up.
Yard, driveway and areaway drains
Hillside and low-lying lots rely on outdoor drains to move water away from the foundation. We clean catch basins and yard drains and jet their lines.
Storm-related backups on the East and South Shore
Low-lying neighborhoods see more backups during heavy rain. A clear main is the first line of defense.
Shops and restaurants
Grease lines along Hylan Boulevard, Richmond Avenue, Forest Avenue and Victory Boulevard need scheduled jetting.

Common questions
How often do roots need clearing?
Typically every 12 to 24 months once they're in the line. A camera check after jetting shows how fast yours are coming back.
Is jetting safe for my older line?
We camera it first. Sound pipe jets safely. If the pipe is damaged, we cable it instead and give you the footage.
Do you come to the South Shore?
Yes, the whole island, including Tottenville, Great Kills, Eltingville and the rest of the South Shore.
My yard drain floods. Can you help?
Yes. We clean out the basin, jet the outlet line and flow-test it.
How much does drain cleaning cost on Staten Island?
Starting at $325 for a single drain, $595 for a main line with a camera check, $895 for residential root jetting, and $150 more after hours.
