I called Drip Too Hard Plumbing for an emergency gas line repair in Glendale, and they showed up the same day within an hour. The plumber was extremely professional, hooked up the gas line and had all the parts ready to make the repair right on the spot. You can tell they take safety seriously — they pressure-tested the line and walked me through everything before turning the gas back on. If you ever need a plumber in Glendale who actually answers fast and gets the job done right the first time, this is the company to call. Definitely the best Glendale plumber experience I’ve had — honest, clean, and backed their work with a lifetime warranty.

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

Common Plumbing Issues in Hawthorne

Every area has its quirks. These are the issues we handle regularly in Hawthorne.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Many Hawthorne homes built in the 1940s-60s still have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. These aging pipes reduce water pressure and cause rusty water, especially common in Holly Glen and Ramona Village neighborhoods.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

Hawthorne's moderately hard water from California Water Service causes mineral buildup in water heater tanks. The sediment creates popping sounds as it superheats, reducing efficiency and requiring regular maintenance or replacement.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Mature street trees throughout Hawthorne, particularly along Prairie Avenue and in established neighborhoods, send roots into aging clay sewer lines. This is especially problematic in older areas with original 1950s plumbing infrastructure.

Low water pressure throughout the house

Learn more

Corroded galvanized supply lines in Hawthorne's post-war housing developments restrict water flow significantly. This issue is most common in Eucalyptus Village and other mid-century tract home areas with original plumbing.

Hawthorne Plumbing FAQs

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

Many of the homes in Hawthorne were built in the mid-20th century, so older plumbing systems are common. Older pipes like galvanized steel or cast iron can become corroded over time, leading to leaks and reduced water pressure. Our Hawthorne plumbers are experienced in dealing with these issues and can recommend the best solutions for upgrading or repairing outdated plumbing.
