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 plumbing issue at my home in Glendale, and Drip Too Hard Plumbing came through big time. They showed up right on time, diagnosed the problem quickly, and had my water heater repaired the same day. You can tell these guys really care about doing things right professional, clean, and super respectful of the home. If you’re looking for a reliable Glendale plumber who handles emergency plumbing services fast and efficiently, this is the team to call. I’ll definitely be using them again for any water heater repair or plumbing work in Glendale!

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.
