I live in Burbank North Estates and had an unexpected sewer line issue that quickly turned into an emergency. Living by myself, it was stressful not knowing what was going on, so when I searched for a plumber near me, finding a trustworthy Burbank plumber was really important.From the first phone call, Drip Too Hard Plumbing made me feel comfortable and informed. They arrived when they said they would and took the time to explain what was happening before starting any work. During the inspection, they showed me a large root they had pulled out of the sewer line, which helped me clearly understand the cause of the problem instead of just being told it was “fixed.”They addressed the issue properly and explained the next steps so I knew what to expect moving forward. The entire process felt professional, respectful, and honest, which really helped build trust. Knowing the work was backed by their DTHPromise gave me peace of mind that everything was handled correctly. If you’re in Burbank and need a reliable plumber you can trust especially during an emergency I would definitely recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing.

I’ve been in construction for over 30 years, and Drip Too Hard Plumbing is one of the few Glendale crews I trust. They’ve handled hydro jetting, sewer line repairs, and trenchless liners for my projects, always showing up on time and doing clean, professional work. Hard to find plumbers in Glendale this dependable anymore they’ve earned my business for good.

I recently had to deal with an unexpected plumbing emergency at one of my rental units in the Starlight Hills area of Burbank off Kenneth Rd, and Drip Too Hard Plumbing came through for me in a huge way. My tenant called late in the evening about a major backup, and I needed someone trustworthy to handle it fast since I couldn’t get there myself. I searched for a Burbank plumber and reached out to DTHP, and they immediately set the tone with clear communication and real professionalism. They went out the same day, performed a full emergency sewer line inspection, showed my tenant exactly what was happening in the line, and then completed a hydro jetting service on the spot to clear the issue before it got any worse. What stood out most was how calm, respectful, and transparent they were with both me and my tenant no pressure, no fear tactics, just real solutions. You can genuinely feel their DTHPromise in the way they operate: on time, clean work, straight answers, and no surprises on the bill. If you’re anywhere in Burbank and searching for a plumber near me, or need help with a sewer backup, drain issue, or hydro jetting, I honestly can’t recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing enough. They made a stressful situation incredibly easy, and my tenant was taken care of from start to finish.

Hermosa Beach Plumbing Problems We Solve

Local homes face unique challenges. Here's what we see most often in Hermosa Beach.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Many Hermosa Beach homes built in the 1940s-1960s have original galvanized pipes that are severely corroded from decades of hard water and salt air exposure. These pipes restrict water flow and cause discolored water throughout properties from The Strand to Hermosa Valley.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

Hard water from West Basin Municipal Water District causes rapid sediment buildup in water heaters throughout Hermosa Beach. Combined with salt air corrosion, this leads to noisy operation and reduced efficiency, especially in beachfront properties along The Strand.

Recurring drain clogs and slow drainage

Learn more

Sand infiltration and debris accumulation create persistent drain problems in Hermosa Beach properties. The coastal location means sand gets tracked indoors and washes down drains, while mature street trees contribute to root intrusion in sewer lines throughout the Sand Section and North Hermosa.

Pinhole leaks in copper pipes

Learn more

Salt air accelerates copper pipe corrosion in Hermosa Beach, creating pinhole leaks that often go undetected behind walls. This is particularly common in multi-family properties and older beach bungalows where pipes are exposed to coastal moisture and mineral-rich hard water.

Hermosa Beach Plumbing FAQs

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

Many of the homes in Hermosa Beach were built in the early to mid 20th century, so older plumbing systems and materials can be a common concern. Galvanized steel pipes, polybutylene pipes, and clay sewer lines are all prone to corrosion, leaks, and blockages over time. Our Hermosa Beach plumbers are experienced in addressing these vintage plumbing problems.
