Our water heater went out late at night and we needed an emergency plumber in La Crescenta. Drip Too Hard Plumbing showed up quickly, repaired the water heater, and had everything working again. Super professional and fair on price -- very grateful for the fast service.

Yelp★★★★★

My office in Los Angeles needed leak detection because we(the building) had a broken sewer line and also Harry the tech came and installed a water heater the same day in Los Angeles traffic he drove and bought one. Harry has done a few of my proprieties all in the Los Angeles area he didn't charge extra for gas or anything They use to be the best 24 hour plumbers in Los Angeles but I guess they stopped doing that :( it was perfect because sometimes I need a emergency plumber in Los Angeles they are hard to find but Harry understood the concept of customer service which I like to uphold for my tents unfortunately I can't write a review for them. Harry came in only 30 mins(again best emergency plumbers in Los Angeles) he came and did a drain service for a very reasonable price! The main reason I felt I needed to leave this review was because a plumber not going to name them but a "emergency plumber in Los Angeles" came looked at my leaky water heater and quoted something crazy and said the whole thing need to be replaced but Harry came and said it's a easy fix he can do for free again best Plumbing services in Los Angeles. Thank you guys for the great work and will be my go to Los Angeles emergency plumber.

Arcadia Plumbing Problems We Solve

Local homes face unique challenges. Here's what we see most often in Arcadia.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

Arcadia's moderately hard water accelerates sediment buildup in tank water heaters, causing popping sounds as water bubbles through accumulated minerals. This is especially common in the many 1960s-70s homes throughout neighborhoods like Hugo Reid and Golden Oaks. Regular flushing helps prevent tank damage and maintains efficiency.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Mature oak and sycamore trees throughout Arcadia's established neighborhoods like Camino Grove and Rancho Santa Anita create persistent root intrusion problems in older clay and concrete sewer lines. The combination of drought-stressed trees seeking water and aging pipe joints makes this one of the most common sewer issues in the area.

Slab leak causing foundation concerns

Learn more

Many of Arcadia's post-war ranch homes were built on concrete slabs with embedded copper or galvanized pipes that develop leaks over time. These hidden leaks are particularly problematic in areas like Upper Hillside where soil movement can stress buried pipes, leading to water damage and high utility bills.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Homes built before 1970 in neighborhoods like Lower Hillside and older sections of Golden Oaks often have original galvanized steel supply lines that are now severely corroded. Arcadia's moderately hard water accelerates this corrosion, causing brown water, low pressure, and frequent leak repairs.
