I’m a licensed contractor based in Glendale, and Drip Too Hard Plumbing has become the only Glendale plumber I trust for my projects. I’ve used them for multiple properties throughout Glendale, and most recently for the full plumbing system on a new-construction home we built in Altadena. Their work is clean, code-accurate, and they stay coordinated with inspections better than any plumbing crew I’ve worked with. Their DTHPromise shows up every time fast communication, fair pricing, and a level of reliability that makes my job easier. Whether it’s a full rough-in on new construction or day-to-day Glendale plumbing service, they deliver the same consistency and professionalism. If you’re a homeowner or contractor looking for a dependable plumbing team in Glendale or the Altadena area, Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the one you want

Why Altadena Residents Call Us

Years of local experience means we know what to expect in Altadena.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Many of Altadena's Craftsman homes and pre-1960s properties still have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. The moderately hard water from Pasadena Water and Power accelerates this corrosion, leading to restricted flow and rusty water throughout Christmas Tree Lane and Woodbury Road neighborhoods.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Altadena's mature oak and sycamore trees, particularly in established neighborhoods like the Triangle and Palm Street areas, frequently send roots into aging clay sewer pipes. The hillside terrain and seasonal watering patterns make root intrusion one of the most common sewer issues we encounter.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

The moderately hard water in Altadena causes significant sediment buildup in water heater tanks, especially in older units. Homes in the Chaney Trail and East Altadena areas frequently experience these noises as mineral deposits create hot spots and inefficient heating.

Slab leak causing foundation concerns

Learn more

Altadena's hillside properties and homes built on concrete slabs are particularly susceptible to slab leaks. The elevation changes and soil movement common in areas near Eaton Canyon can cause pipes to shift and leak beneath foundations, requiring immediate professional attention.
