I’m a homeowner in Glendale near Adventist on Chevy Chase, and we had an emergency when our old water heater completely failed late in the evening. I searched for a plumber near me and found Drip Too Hard Plumbing, and I’m honestly glad I did. They answered right away, came out quickly, and took the time to explain everything before starting any work. After inspecting the situation, they recommended a tankless water heater installation and walked me through the options, costs, and what made the most sense for my home. The installation itself was clean, organized, and handled professionally from start to finish. What stood out most was how calm and reassuring they were during an emergency no pressure, no scare tactics, just clear communication and solid work. Everything was tested thoroughly before they left, and the hot water has been flawless since. They also backed the work with their DTHPromise, which gave me a lot of confidence that the job was done correctly and will last. It’s not easy to find a Glendale plumber who shows up fast, explains things honestly, and delivers quality work when you actually need it. If you’re in Glendale and ever need an emergency plumber or are considering a tankless water heater, I’d definitely recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing.

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

Thank you so much for the kind words and continued trust over the past year. We're grateful for your friend's referral and even more grateful that you've chosen us for both the small fixes and larger projects. Harry and the team take pride in doing things the right way, and it means a lot to hear that it shows. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to being your go-to plumbers whenever you need us.
Why Koreatown Residents Call Us
Our team knows the common culprits in the Koreatown area.
Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow
Learn more
Many of Koreatown's pre-1960s apartment buildings and craftsman homes still have original galvanized pipes. These corroded lines cause low water pressure and discolored water, especially common in buildings along the Wilshire corridor.
Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
Learn more
Mature street trees throughout Koreatown, particularly in residential areas near MacArthur Park, send roots into aging cast iron sewer lines. This creates recurring backups and requires professional root cutting and line replacement.
Water heater making popping or rumbling noises
Learn more
LADWP's moderately hard water causes rapid sediment buildup in water heaters throughout Koreatown's dense housing. The mineral deposits create popping sounds and reduce efficiency, especially in older apartment buildings with original units.
Slab leak causing foundation concerns
Learn more
Concrete slab foundations in Koreatown's mid-century apartment buildings develop leaks as copper and galvanized pipes age beneath the foundation. These hidden leaks cause water damage and require specialized detection and repair techniques.
