We had this plumber in La Crescenta come out for a water softener install and a whole home filter. Super easy to work with, showed up when they said they would, and the water in our house is already so much better. Definitely recommend if you need a water softener or just a good plumber.

I was searching for a plumber near me that made it easy to book online, and stumbled upon Drip Too Hard Plumbing honestly, they were the only company with a fast, modern website that showed real prices and offered instant online booking. A few months ago, Harry and Jon came out to our home in Emerald Isle near the Chevy Chase Country Club to inspect our sewer line through the inside access point. They arrived right on time, wore shoe covers the whole visit, and clearly showed us the root blockage on camera. They completed the sewer line repair the same day, and even though they had to dig in the front yard, they cleaned up so well you’d never know any work had been done. Since that first repair, we’ve also had them handle a bathroom plumbing remodel and a water softener installation, and once again, the experience was flawless. Their DTH Promise fast response, honest communication, and real warranty coverage proved true from start to finish. It made us feel safe about the work and confident that we finally found a reliable Glendale plumber we can count on for any future Glendale plumbing service needs. The pricing was very fair for the quality and professionalism they deliver.

If you need a Glendale plumber for anything from leaks to tankless water heater repairs or installs, this is the team to call. Highly recommend them for any plumbing emergency in the Glendale area!

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.
