I live in Lake View Terrace and called Drip Too Hard Plumbing when I needed help with a toilet issue and a drain that kept backing up. Even though I’m a bit outside the city, they had a tech out from their Burbank team the same day, and the service was extremely professional from start to finish. The technician explained everything clearly, fixed the toilet, cleared the drain, and made sure everything was running right before leaving. What stood out most was how honest and respectful they were no pressure, no upselling, just real help. You can definitely feel the DTHP quality in the way they work and communicate. If you’re near Lake View Terrace or the Burbank area and need a plumber you can trust, Drip Too Hard Plumbing is absolutely the one to call.

Even when you’re a little outside the city, our Burbank team always does everything they can to show up fast and keep the process simple. Hearing that you felt the honesty and DTHP quality in the way we communicated means a lot — that’s exactly what we aim for on every job. If you ever need anything else, whether it’s another drain issue or general plumbing help, we’re always here for you. Thanks again for choosing Drip Too Hard Plumbing.

We recently finished building our new home in Glendale, and hiring Drip Too Hard Plumbing for the full new construction plumbing was one of the best decisions we made. From start to finish, Harry and Jon were punctual, professional, and incredibly detail-oriented. They handled everything  rough-in, sewer, vents, water lines, gas lines, and the fixture installs  with the same consistency and quality you expect from a top-tier company. Every inspection passed clean, the workmanship was flawless, and any questions we had were explained clearly. The DTHPromise gave us extra peace of mind, and even after the build was done, they continued to check in and make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find a plumbing company that treats your home like their own, but these guys do. If you’re building a new home or doing a remodel in Glendale, Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the only plumbing company I’d recommend. Absolute professionals.

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.
