I recently hired Drip Too Hard Plumbing for a repair on the water heater line at my home near the Hollywood Hills, and they exceeded every expectation. They reconnected the PEX line to the exposed copper feeding into my water heater, and the work was clean, secure, and clearly done by pros who know what they’re doing. As promised under their DTHPromise, they arrived right on time, were extremely customer-friendly, and walked me through every part of the repair so I fully understood what was happening. It’s rare to find Burbank plumbers who deliver this level of professionalism, communication, and quality. If you need reliable, honest plumbing work done especially anything involving water heaters or line repairs Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the team you want. Highly recommended.

We had this plumber in La Crescenta come out for a water softener install and a whole home filter. Super easy to work with, showed up when they said they would, and the water in our house is already so much better. Definitely recommend if you need a water softener or just a good plumber.

What Covina Homeowners Call Us About

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

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Many of Covina's 1950s-1970s tract homes still have original galvanized plumbing that's now severely corroded. These aging pipes restrict water flow and cause rusty water, especially common in Charter Oak and North Covina neighborhoods.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

San Gabriel Valley's moderately hard water accelerates sediment buildup in water heaters throughout Covina. This mineral accumulation creates popping sounds and reduces efficiency, particularly affecting homes near the foothills where mineral content is higher.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Covina's mature landscaping and established trees create frequent root problems in clay sewer lines. Areas like South Hills and Hollenbeck Canyon with large trees are especially prone to root intrusion blocking main sewer lines.

Slab leak causing foundation concerns

Learn more

Concrete slab foundations are common in Covina's post-war construction, making slab leaks a frequent issue. Hard water corrosion combined with ground settling affects copper pipes embedded in concrete, especially in Vincent and Eastland areas.

Many of the homes in Covina were built in the mid-20th century, so older plumbing materials and systems are common.

Our plumbers are experienced in upgrading and repairing the unique plumbing found in Covina's vintage homes.
