I'll have Drip Too Hard doing more quality plumbing for me from here on.

Zone, we truly appreciate your recommendation! Installing a new sewer pipe is a big job, and I’m glad my breakdown of the process and options helped you feel confident every step of the way. Harry takes great pride in his craft, and I’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. We look forward to providing you with more quality plumbing work in the future!
I live in Tujunga and woke up to my whole home backing up every drain was clogged and I had no idea what was going on. I searched for plumbers near me and found Drip Too Hard Plumbing, and I’m so glad I did. They came out same day, did a full camera inspection, and showed me exactly where my sewer line was damaged and full of heavy roots. Eric and his team were professional, honest, and explained every step. They ended up digging out the front yard to access the line and installed 10 feet of trenchless liner to rebuild the damaged section. The difference was immediate everything started flowing perfectly again. What really stood out was how clean, organized, and stress-free they made the whole process. Their DTHP Promise gave me a lot of confidence that the job was done correctly and built to last. It’s rare to find a Tujunga plumber that responds this quickly and actually solves the root issue instead of giving temporary fixes. If you’re anywhere in Tujunga or the surrounding area and need reliable help, I highly recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing. They’re definitely my go-to from now on.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. A full home backup is one of the most stressful situations a homeowner can wake up to, and I’m really glad we were able to get out to Tujunga same-day and get everything flowing again. Once we ran the camera and saw how badly the roots had taken over that section of your sewer line, we knew a trenchless liner was the right fix something that would actually solve the problem, not just clear it for a few weeks. Hearing that the difference was immediate means a lot to our whole team. What you mentioned about the process feeling clean, organized, and low-stress… that’s exactly what we aim for with every job. Plumbing issues are already overwhelming, so our job is to make everything else easy and transparent. Thank you for trusting us with such an important repair and for recommending us to your neighbors. We’re always here whenever you need us. — Drip Too Hard Plumbing Glendale Team
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.
