I have been using Drip Too Hard Plumbing (rebranded from DTH) for about a year. They were recommended by a good friend of mine who is a developer, and I have been ecstatic to find such a competent, ethical and reasonably priced plumbing service. Harry is very accommodating and has done a number of small plumbing jobs for me, including fixing work of previous plumbers (Installed new fixtures, fixed leaks from plumbing connections and garbage disposals and installed gas shut off valve). He has also done major construction for friends. I HIGHLY recommend him

I had an emergency leak at my home in Burbank and Drip Too Hard Plumbing came out fast. The toilet angle stop had failed and the supply line was leaking, causing water to spread quickly. They arrived promptly, shut the water down, replaced the angle stop and supply line, and had everything fixed the same visit. Super professional, calm under pressure, and explained exactly what went wrong and why. If you need an emergency plumber in Burbank who actually shows up and fixes the problem right, these are the guys to call.

Why Encino Residents Call Us

Our team knows the common culprits in the Encino area.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Many of Encino's 1950s-70s ranch homes still have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. These pipes restrict water flow and cause pressure issues throughout homes in neighborhoods like Amestoy Estates and Royal Oaks.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Encino's mature oak, eucalyptus, and palm trees create constant root intrusion problems in cast iron sewer lines. This is especially common in established neighborhoods with older landscaping along Ventura Boulevard and the hillside areas.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

LADWP's moderately hard water causes rapid sediment buildup in water heaters throughout Encino. The mineral deposits create popping sounds and reduce efficiency, particularly affecting older units in ranch-style homes.

Slab leak causing foundation concerns

Learn more

Encino's concrete slab foundation homes, especially in Country Estates and South of Ventura areas, frequently experience slab leaks due to shifting soil and aging copper pipes embedded in concrete.
