We had a main line drain clog under the house. Russell was our technician and approached the problem from outside the house, working retrograde from a trap in the front yard. I was skeptical but it worked when my efforts with a cable inside the house had failed. He was very professional and pleasant to deal with. We asked him to install a cleanout closer to the house for future use and we were very satisfied with the work.
Tyler is the best! He came to our parent's house, knew exactly what the problem was, and explained it to us without the typical guesswork. I'd recommend him any time you need a good plumber.
Overall, It was a very good experience with the Service Hero team. I was able to schedule an appointment late in the night. They are truly 24x7. The help desk team was very professional, courteous, and friendly. All responses were timely. The field technician showed up on time and diagnosed the issue accurately. Kudos to the Service Hero team!

If you are dealing with one or more of these issues, it’s probably a good idea to call a plumber who can help diagnose the cause and find the right solution.
When finding a clog, a lot of people run to the hardware store and invest in a few bottles of chemical drain cleaners. Sadly, this is one of the least effective ways to tackle clogs, and it can actually damage your pipes if used frequently. For surface clogs, it’s best to try a natural solution that’s less harsh. Put baking soda in your drain, followed by an equal portion of vinegar, and let the reaction break apart grease and grime. Follow it with a few drops of liquid soap and some hot, steamy water. If this doesn’t do the trick, then you might consider using a plunger or manual snake. If the blockage remains, then it’s probably large or stuck deep in your system, which is why it’s best handled by professionals plumbers have access to advanced tools like mechanical augers, hydrojetting equipment, and camera technologies that can detect the cause of your pipe problems and take care of them quickly without damaging your plumbing system.
Another common mistake that property owners make is ignoring small clogs altogether. A slow-draining sink or toilet backup can often be temporarily overcome with a plunger or patience. And it’s easy to blow off a solution if there’s not an urgent threat. However, ignoring small blockages can have consequences that can develop into emergencies. For example, small clogs could be a warning sign of pipe damage. Also, excessive amounts of moisture from slow drainage could lead to mold buildup. If hidden leaks or weakened pipes develop because of ignoring minor issues, then it could eventually lead to health risks, water damage, and increased costs for repairs and premature replacements. Be proactive by taking care of problems as soon as you can.
Professional plumbers have the training and equipment to tackle large clogs and complicated plumbing issues. They can quickly remove years of buildup and tree root invasion with hydrojetting services. They’ll be able to pinpoint hidden leaks and pipe damage with camera inspections. Local plumbers can even repair or reline pipes that have corrosion or cracks with new techniques that don’t require major excavations. Trained technicians can perform routine cleanings and maintenance tasks annually so you can enjoy a problem-free plumbing system and avoid the costs and frustrations of property damage or mold development.
