Why People Look for a Plumber in Sherman Oaks
Plumbing
Slow or clogged drains top the list of plumbing calls we receive. Kitchen and bathroom drains back up from daily use. Sewer lines fail and cause overflow inside homes. Leaking pipes hide under older Sherman Oaks homes and cause damage before you notice. Water heaters stop working during cold months when you need hot water most. Toilets and fixtures malfunction at the worst times.

Sherman Oaks deals with specific seasonal plumbing problems. Tree roots invade sewer lines year-round, but spring growth makes it worse. Summer heat stresses old pipes and increases the chance of failures. Winter cold can cause pipes to burst, though this happens less often in California. Heavy rain overwhelms drainage systems that weren't built for modern water volumes.
Different parts of Sherman Oaks face different plumbing challenges. Older homes in central Sherman Oaks still have original plumbing from decades ago. Hillside properties in upper Sherman Oaks struggle with drainage on sloped lots. Multi-unit buildings along Ventura Boulevard share plumbing systems that affect multiple residents. Single-family homes with mature landscaping battle tree roots that break into sewer lines.
Some plumbing problems require immediate attention. Water pooling inside your home means active damage is happening. Sewage backing up into drains or toilets creates a health hazard. Losing hot water in winter affects your daily routine. Visible pipe leaks or water damage get worse by the hour. The smell of sewage inside your home signals a serious problem.
Many homeowners believe myths that delay proper repairs. Liquid drain cleaners seem like quick fixes but only work temporarily. These products can damage pipes and make real repairs harder later. Small leaks feel manageable, but they lead to water damage and mold growth. Some people think all plumbers offer the same service, but experience with local properties makes a difference. Plumbing repairs feel expensive until you compare the cost to water damage and emergency replacements.
Drainage Service in Sherman Oaks
Drainage
Drainage problems disrupt your home and daily routine. You need clear, fast-flowing drains in your kitchen and bathrooms. Properties with recurring drain backups need permanent solutions, not temporary fixes. Main sewer line blockages affect your entire plumbing system at once.

Kitchen sink drains back up when grease builds up over time. Bathroom drains slow down from hair and soap that collects in pipes. When multiple drains back up at the same time, your main sewer line has a problem. Foul odors coming from drains signal bacteria and buildup inside pipes. Gurgling sounds when water drains mean air is trapped in your lines. Tree roots grow into sewer lines and create blockages that get worse each season.
We clear your drains so water flows freely again. Backups and odors disappear after proper cleaning. Camera inspections show you the inside of your pipes so you can see the results. We fix the root cause instead of just opening a small hole through the clog. Regular maintenance prevents the emergency backups that flood your home.
Sherman Oaks' mature trees cause problems that newer neighborhoods don't face. Oak and sycamore roots search for water and grow into sewer lines. Older neighborhoods have clay or cast iron pipes that crack and allow roots inside. Regular maintenance catches these problems before they become emergencies.
Water Damage Restoration Service in Sherman Oaks
Water damage
Water damage requires immediate action to protect your property. Active leaks and flooding destroy floors, walls, and belongings. Burst pipes release hundreds of gallons before you can stop them. Plumbing failures cause damage that spreads quickly through your home. Emergency situations need a response within minutes, not hours.

Burst pipes flood rooms and crawl spaces with water. Leaking water heaters cause damage that continues until someone shuts off the supply. Slab leaks under foundations hide until you see water pooling or hear running water. Supply line failures soak walls and floors inside your home. Sewage backups contaminate living spaces and create health hazards. Hidden leaks behind walls cause mold growth before you notice the problem.
We shut off your water immediately to stop ongoing damage. Water extraction and drying of affected areas begin right away. Our plumbing repairs fix the source of the water so it doesn't happen again. Fast action prevents mold and structural damage to your home. We restore a safe, dry living environment so you can use your space again.
Sherman Oaks' older homes often sit on slab foundations that hide leaks underneath. Valley heat stresses pipes and increases the risk of failures during summer months. Fast response becomes critical to prevent mold in California's climate. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure.
Emergency PlumbingEmergency Plumbing
We respond 24/7 when urgent plumbing problems strike your home. Burst pipes need immediate water shutoff before damage spreads. Severe leaks soak walls, floors, and belongings within minutes. Toilet and drain overflows create unsanitary conditions that require fast action.
Hydro JettingHydro Jetting
High-pressure water cleaning removes stubborn blockages that snaking cannot reach. We eliminate grease, scale, and tree roots from inside your pipes. This method cleans the entire pipe diameter instead of just poking a hole through buildup.
Sewer Camera InspectionSewer Camera Inspection
Video inspection shows the inside of your sewer and drain lines in real time. We locate the exact position of clogs and damage without digging. Tree root intrusion appears clearly on camera so you see what we see. Cracks, breaks, and bellies in pipes show up during inspection.
Trenchless Sewer RepairTrenchless Sewer Repair
We repair sewer lines without digging up your yard or driveway. Pipe lining (CIPP) seals cracks and damage from inside the existing pipe. Pipe bursting replaces old sewer lines by breaking the old pipe and pulling new pipe through.
Serving Sherman Oaks and Valley Neighborhoods
our service areas
We serve properties throughout Sherman Oaks and the surrounding Valley. Each neighborhood brings different plumbing challenges based on when homes were built and how they were constructed.
Encino homes often have original plumbing systems that need updating or replacement. Van Nuys properties mix residential and commercial buildings with different plumbing demands. Studio City’s hillside homes face unique drainage needs because of sloped lots. Valley Glen has aging infrastructure in established areas that require experienced plumbers. Valley Village contains post-war homes with mid-century plumbing that shows its age. North Hollywood properties vary widely in type and age, each with specific needs. Toluca Lake’s mature trees cause root intrusion problems in sewer lines.
Many Sherman Oaks homes were built between the 1950s and 1970s. These properties have aging pipes that fail more often than newer construction. Clay and cast iron sewer lines remain common in older neighborhoods. These materials crack and allow tree roots to grow inside. Slab foundations in Valley homes hide leaks underneath the concrete. You might not know about a slab leak until you see water pooling or hear running water when everything is off.
Mature oak and sycamore trees grow throughout Sherman Oaks. Their roots search for water and break into sewer lines. Hillside properties deal with gravity drainage challenges that flat lots don’t face. Multi-unit buildings along Ventura Boulevard share plumbing systems between tenants. HOA-managed properties require proper documentation and approvals for major repairs.
Tree root invasions happen year-round but worsen during spring growth. Pipe failures increase during Valley heat waves when temperatures stress old materials. Winter freeze events happen rarely but cause serious damage when they occur. Heavy rain overwhelms older drainage systems that weren’t designed for current water volumes. Slab leaks appear frequently in mid-century homes built on concrete foundations.

Calling Sewer Heroes was one of the best decisions we made during a stressful week. Our toilet had completely backed up, and I didn’t know what to do. Erik arrived on time, stayed calm, and immediately made me feel confident that the problem would be solved. He did a rooter service and followed it with hydro jetting, making sure the line was completely clear. He showed us the pipe on a camera inspection afterward it was satisfying to see the results firsthand. I really enjoyed the whole process. Plus the pricing was really fair which made it stress free. Great emergency plumbing service company.

Wow these guys are awesome. Went to feed the dog, and saw a waterfall coming down from my garage ceiling. Within 2.5 hours, these guys had come, identified the problem, picked up parts, fixed the issue, cleaned up and were on their way. Very nice and professional to boot. Would highly recommend.

I can’t thank Sewer Hero’s enough. If you’re dealing with a plumbing emergency, these are the people you want on your side.
It was 11 PM on a Saturday. My wife was in the shower, and out of nowhere, I noticed water coming up from every drain in the house. Total chaos. Toilet paper on the floor, water pooling everywhere—I was freaking out. As a first-time homeowner (who made the bold choice of buying a 1950s house), I knew plumbing issues were bound to happen, but I wasn’t prepared for this.
I called four different companies that were listed as “open,” but none of them were any help. Either no one answered, or they gave me the runaround. Then I found Sewer Hero’s, and it was like a breath of fresh air. The person on the phone was calm, helpful, and actually walked me through some steps to try and fix it myself before sending someone out. They even advised me to shut off my main water line to prevent things from getting worse.
After trying a few things, it was clear this was a bigger job. Their schedule was packed for Monday, but they promised to get to me first thing. They even followed up the next morning at 9 AM, but I had an appointment I couldn’t miss. No problem—they worked around my schedule and came out after my workday.
By 6 PM, they pulled up in a sleek, professional van, and I instantly felt like I was in good hands. They got right to work diagnosing the issue—turns out my drain to the main line was clogged. The tricky part? I didn’t have a cleanout for that drain. But these guys know their stuff. They found a way through a random air pipe on the side of my house, got their equipment in there, and within an hour, everything was back to normal.
Then, to top it all off, they ran a camera through the pipe to make sure nothing was left behind. That kind of attention to detail is rare.
I was bracing myself for a huge bill because I’ve heard horror stories from my neighbors. But Sewer Hero’s was extremely reasonable and fair. No gimmicks, no upselling—just honest, high-quality work.
I genuinely can’t recommend them enough. If you ever find yourself in a plumbing nightmare, call Sewer Hero’s. You won’t regret it.

Phone
(818) 797-7981How do I choose a plumber in Sherman Oaks?
Response
Look for plumbers with experience working on Valley properties and local infrastructure. Emergency availability matters when problems happen outside business hours. Ask about their experience with drainage issues and water damage restoration. Plumbers familiar with Sherman Oaks understand aging pipes, tree root problems, and slab foundation issues common in the area.
What do I do if my drains back up?
Response
Stop using all drains immediately if multiple fixtures are backing up at once. Chemical drain cleaners make problems worse and damage pipes over time. Call for professional drain cleaning or hydro jetting to clear the blockage properly. Camera inspection may be needed to find the exact cause of recurring backups.
What do I do if I have water damage?
Response
Shut off water at the main valve immediately if you can locate it safely. Call an emergency plumber right away before damage spreads further. Remove valuables from affected areas while waiting for help to arrive. Document all damage with photos for your insurance company. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours, so don’t delay getting professional help.
Can you come to my neighborhood?
Response
Yes, we cover all of Sherman Oaks and surrounding Valley neighborhoods completely. Encino, Van Nuys, Studio City, Valley Glen, Valley Village, North Hollywood, and Toluca Lake all receive full service. Emergency response runs 24/7 throughout our entire coverage area. We know all local property types because we work in these neighborhoods daily.
How fast should I act on this issue?
Response
Water leaks and active damage require immediate action right now. Sewage backups create health hazards that need emergency response immediately. No hot water calls for same-day service to restore your household routine. Slow drains need scheduling soon to prevent complete blockages later. Preventative maintenance can wait for your convenience and regular scheduling.
Do I need to replace my whole sewer line?
Response
Camera inspection shows the exact extent of damage in your sewer line. Trenchless repair fixes localized problems without replacing the entire line. Full replacement only becomes necessary when damage extends throughout most of the pipe. Hydro jetting sometimes restores old pipes to working condition without any replacement needed.
