Erik and the team at drip too hard plumbing did a great job on a sewer line inspection and sewer repair also installed a new tankless water heater really recommend best plumber in Glendale and La Crescenta area

Alex B.Verified reviewSep 8, 2025
Yelp★★★★★

We recently worked with Drip Too Hard Plumbing after our old water heater stopped working, and they were hands down the best plumber we've ever used in La Crescenta. From the first phone call, they were professional, upfront about our options, and gave us a reasonable estimate. We decided to go with a tankless water heater, and the whole installation was smooth -- they kept everything tidy and even showed us how to use the new system before they left. A few weeks later, we ran into a problem with our drains. They came out right away, handled the sewer line repair quickly, and there were no hidden costs or surprises. Everything's been working perfectly ever since. If you need a trustworthy plumber in La Crescenta, this is the team to call. Great service and worth every dollar for the peace of mind.

Why Alhambra Residents Call Us

Our team knows the common culprits in the Alhambra area.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Many of Alhambra's pre-1960s homes, particularly in Bean Tract and older neighborhoods, still have original galvanized supply lines that are now heavily corroded. These pipes restrict water flow and cause pressure issues throughout the home. Complete replacement with modern materials is typically the most cost-effective long-term solution.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

Golden State Water's moderately hard water causes mineral deposits to accumulate at the bottom of water heater tanks, creating rumbling and popping sounds during heating cycles. This is especially common in Alhambra's older homes where water heaters work harder due to mineral buildup. Regular flushing and maintenance can extend tank life.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Alhambra's mature street trees and established landscaping in neighborhoods like Midwick Tract create ongoing challenges with root intrusion into aging sewer lines. Cast iron and clay pipes from the 1920s-1950s are particularly vulnerable to root penetration, requiring regular cleaning and eventual replacement.

Low water pressure throughout the house

Learn more

Corroded galvanized pipes and mineral buildup from moderately hard water commonly cause pressure issues in Alhambra's older homes. Properties built before 1960 often experience gradually declining pressure as pipes narrow from corrosion and scale accumulation over decades of use.
