Yonkers housing stock ranges from 1920s row homes in Getty Square to mid-century capes in 10710, all sharing narrow laterals that collect grease and roots. Crews based in New York City use I-87 and NY-9 to reach any neighborhood inside an hour.
Cold winters freeze shallow lines while summer storms overwhelm older combined sewers near the waterfront, creating the same backup patterns year after year. Service stays available around the clock so residents in 10701 through 10705 never wait for a weekday crew.
Everything that follows applies right here in Yonkers (10701): the offerings, the process, and the pricing approach we use statewide.
New York City’s pre-war apartment buildings and brownstones often have cast iron or clay sewer lines installed before 1940 that collect decades of grease, scale, and sediment. Hydro jetting sends a specialized nozzle down the line at 3,500–5,000 psi to scour the pipe walls without chemicals that can damage older joints. Operators must first run a camera inspection because many lines in Manhattan and Brooklyn sit under sidewalks where excavation is restricted by DOT permits.
Heavy restaurant density in neighborhoods like Hell’s Kitchen and Williamsburg produces thick grease mats that ordinary snaking cannot remove. Jetting heads with rotating chains or forward-facing jets break these deposits while flushing debris to the main. Summer thunderstorms can overwhelm combined sewer systems in Queens and the Bronx, pushing root fragments and debris back into laterals; jetting after these events prevents repeat backups that commonly occur on streets with mature street trees.
How It Works in Yonkers
- 1
Camera Inspection
Technician runs a waterproof camera from the nearest cleanout to locate the blockage and assess pipe condition.
- 2
Nozzle Selection
Selects the correct jetting head based on clog type—grease, roots, or sediment—and pipe diameter.
- 3
Controlled Jetting Pass
Advances the hose from downstream, using forward and rear jets to break material and flush it to the main.
- 4
Final Verification
Performs a second camera pass to confirm the line is clear and checks for any new damage.
