I own a dog grooming shop in Downtown Burbank, and when our drain line backed up right before we opened, I needed a Burbank plumber fast. Drip Too Hard Plumbing had Erik and Jon at my door that same morning, and they explained everything clearly so I knew exactly what was going on. They cleared the drain backup quickly and kept the shop clean so we didn’t have to shut down for the day. What really stood out was how honest and straightforward they were no pressure, no upselling, just real help when we needed it most. You can genuinely feel their DTHPromise in the way they communicate and how respectfully they treat your business. If you’re in Burbank and searching for a plumber near me for a drain issue or an emergency, Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the team to call. Fast, clean, and completely professional.

Thank you so much for the review and for trusting us with your shop in Downtown Burbank. Drain backups right before opening are a nightmare, so we’re really glad Erik and Jon were able to get everything cleared and keep you running without shutting down for the day. We take a lot of pride in the DTHPromise — honest communication, clean work, and zero pressure — so it means a lot that you noticed. If you ever need help again with a drain issue, plumbing emergency, or regular maintenance at the shop, we’re always here for you. Thank you again for choosing Drip Too Hard Plumbing and supporting a local Burbank business. -Drip Too Hard Plumbing Team🚰

Didn’t realize Drip Too Hard Plumbing just opened a new service location in Burbank, but they treated me like I’d been a customer for years. I was searching for a Burbank plumber after my sewer line backed up unexpectedly and flooded part of my yard. I called Drip Too Hard Plumbing, and they honestly set the bar for what real customer service should look like. Erik and his team showed up the same morning, diagnosed the issue right away, and handled a full emergency sewer line repair in Burbank without cutting corners. They kept me informed every step of the way, explained everything clearly, and made a stressful situation easy to deal with. If you ever need an emergency plumber in Burbank, this is the company to call fast, professional, and 100% trustworthy.

Excellent service! My youngest accidentally flushed a toy down my toilet causing the water to drain slowly every time it was flushed. Jonathan was very professional and knowledgeable. He assessed the situation, explained the process clearly, and got right to work. He was able to remove the toy without any issues and was careful to keep the area clean on top of being very detail oriented. He went above and beyond and also checked the water pressure and made sure everything was working perfectly before he left. I highly recommend this company for any plumbing needs. I know who I will be calling in the future if needed again ! Thank you so much Jonathan you were amazing!

We’re so happy Jonathan was able to take care of the toy-in-the-toilet situation quickly and thoroughly! He takes pride in explaining the process and making sure every detail is handled, so it’s wonderful to hear that came through. Thank you for recommending us — we’re grateful for your trust and will be here anytime you need plumbing help in the future. — Erik & the Drip Too Hard Plumbing Team

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.

Arcadia Plumbing FAQs

Common questions from Arcadia homeowners about our plumbing services, pricing, and service area.

Older homes in Arcadia often have galvanized steel or cast iron plumbing that can corrode over time, leading to leaks and reduced water pressure. Our plumbers are experienced in upgrading plumbing in historic Arcadia homes to modern copper or PEX piping to ensure reliable, efficient water flow.
