I’ve used them for multiple properties throughout Glendale, and most recently for the full plumbing system on a new-construction home we built in Altadena.

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.

Frequent Plumbing Concerns in Irwindale
Local homes face unique challenges. Here's what we see most often in Irwindale.
Hard water causing scale buildup
Learn more
Irwindale receives extremely hard water from the San Gabriel Valley system, causing rapid mineral buildup in pipes, fixtures, and appliances. This buildup restricts water flow and damages equipment throughout Central Irwindale and Riverfront District homes.
Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow
Learn more
Many 1970s-1980s homes in North Irwindale and along Arrow Highway have original galvanized pipes that corrode rapidly due to the area's aggressive water chemistry. These pipes develop rust buildup and pinhole leaks, requiring replacement.
Water heater making popping or rumbling noises
Learn more
Irwindale's very hard water causes rapid sediment accumulation at the bottom of water heaters, creating popping and rumbling sounds during heating cycles. This issue affects homes throughout the Industrial Corridor and Residential Hills areas.
Slab leak causing foundation concerns
Learn more
The valley floor's expansive soil and proximity to the San Gabriel River create ground movement that stresses slab-mounted pipes. Homes in East Valley and near Santa Fe Dam are particularly susceptible to these hidden leaks.
