Families throughout the Mar Vista region share their experience with our licensed, insured team.
We manage a hillside apartment building in Burbank, and when the shower drains started backing up throughout the building, it quickly turned into an emergency. We searched for a plumber near me and called Drip Too Hard Plumbing, and they responded fast. They were professional, calm, and clearly experienced with multi-unit drain issues. They performed a thorough emergency drain cleaning, explained what was causing the backup, and made sure everything was flowing properly before leaving. The team was respectful to tenants and worked efficiently to minimize disruption. It’s a huge relief knowing we have a reliable Burbank plumber we can call when problems affect an entire building. Fast response, honest service, and quality work. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how stressful it can be when a plumbing issue affects an entire apartment building, especially in a hillside property where drain systems can be more complex. We’re glad our team was able to respond quickly, identify the cause of the backup, and get everything flowing properly again while minimizing disruption for your tenants. Providing fast, reliable emergency service and clear communication is something we take seriously. We truly appreciate your trust and recommendation, and we’re always here if you need us in the future. — Drip Too Hard Plumbing
I had Drip Too Hard Plumbing come out for a tankless water heater replacement at my home in Glendale near Brand Park, and they were hands-down the most reliable Glendale plumber I’ve ever hired. If you need a plumber Glendale residents can trust, these guys are on another level. Jon and Erik showed up right on time, even in the rain, and immediately put on shoe covers before stepping inside. They handled the entire tankless water heater installation with total professionalism clean, organized, and efficient. Hot water was back faster than expected. What really stood out was how honest they were. After the install, they offered a free sewer camera inspection and actually showed me a couple of issues in the line. And the best part? No pressure, no upsells, no scare tactics. Just real information so I could plan ahead. That level of integrity is rare in any plumbing Glendale service, and it’s why they’ve earned my trust. Their DTHPromise really showed respectful techs, clear communication, great workmanship, and zero games. If you’re in Glendale and need anything from a water heater upgrade to general plumbing work, Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the only team I’d call.

What Mar Vista Homeowners Call Us About
Every area has its quirks. These are the issues we handle regularly in Mar Vista.
Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow
Learn more
Mar Vista's 1940s-1960s tract homes often have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. These aging pipes restrict water flow and cause discolored water throughout Del Rey and Palms area neighborhoods.
Water heater making popping or rumbling noises
Learn more
LADWP's moderately hard water causes sediment buildup in water heaters throughout Mar Vista. The mineral deposits create popping sounds and reduce efficiency, especially common in the area's mid-century homes.
Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
Learn more
Mature street trees along Grandview Boulevard and throughout Mar Vista's established neighborhoods send roots into aging cast iron sewer lines. This causes recurring backups and requires professional root removal.
Low water pressure throughout the house
Learn more
Post-war homes in Mar Vista often experience low water pressure from corroded galvanized pipes and mineral buildup. The flat terrain helps, but aging infrastructure from the 1940s-1960s era needs attention.
