Families throughout the Hawthorne region share their experience with our licensed, insured team.
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.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We know how stressful it is when a water heater goes out late at night, so we're glad we could get everything back up and running quickly for you. We truly appreciate your kind words and are always here whenever you need us.
I needed a reliable plumber in Tujunga and contacted Drip Too Hard Plumbing for a tankless water heater problem that was showing an error code and not producing consistent hot water. I had planned to flush the unit myself until I discovered the previous homeowner's installer never installed service valves, so the job quickly became more than I could manage. From the first call, communication was clear and professional. They started by installing the proper service valves so the existing tankless water heater could be flushed and diagnosed correctly. After the flush, the unit continued to throw the same error code, and it unfortunately became clear the system had reached the end of its life. I truly appreciated and respected Drip Too Hard Plumbing's honesty and work to that point and chose to continue the job with them. They explained everything in detail and wrote off the cost of the attempted repair instead of charging for work that didn’t solve the issue. We moved forward with a full tankless water heater replacement, and the new unit was installed cleanly and efficiently. Everything was fully tested, there were no error codes, and the hot water has been working perfectly since. If you’re looking for a trustworthy plumber near me in the Tujunga area who stands behind their work and communicates clearly, I’d highly recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing.

Thank you for the detailed review and for trusting Drip Too Hard Plumbing with your tankless water heater in Tujunga. We always believe in diagnosing the issue properly first whether that means installing service valves, flushing the unit, or recommending replacement when it’s truly at the end of its life. We never want to charge for work that doesn’t solve the problem. I’m glad we were able to get your new tankless water heater installed cleanly and restore consistent hot water. If you ever need plumbing service in Tujunga, we’re here to help. We appreciate the recommendation and your support.
We had a backed-up kitchen drain, and the team from Drip Too Hard Plumbing came out ASAP. They diagnosed the problem quickly, cleared the line, and got everything draining again. What I appreciated most wasn’t just the fix, it was the communication. They walked me through what they were seeing with my older pipes, explained the possible risks. They also laid out clear contingency plans so I knew exactly what to expect. The technicians were professional, wore shoe covers, and were respectful of the space. Overall, I’m glad to have found a plumber in the Glendale area I can rely on and would definitely reach out to them again for any plumbing service in the future

Thank you so much for sharing this — we really appreciate it. We’re glad we could get your kitchen drain cleared quickly and walk you through everything we were seeing with the older piping. Clear communication is a big part of our DTHPromise, and it means a lot that it made the process easier for you. Our techs work hard to stay professional, keep things clean, and protect the home with shoe covers, so I’m glad that came through too. Knowing you’d rely on us again for any Glendale plumbing service in the future genuinely means a lot to our team. If anything ever comes up — even just a question — your Glendale plumber is always here to help. Thanks again for trusting Drip Too Hard Plumbing!
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.
