I recently hired Drip Too Hard Plumbing for a repair on the water heater line at my home near the Hollywood Hills, and they exceeded every expectation. They reconnected the PEX line to the exposed copper feeding into my water heater, and the work was clean, secure, and clearly done by pros who know what they’re doing. As promised under their DTHPromise, they arrived right on time, were extremely customer-friendly, and walked me through every part of the repair so I fully understood what was happening. It’s rare to find Burbank plumbers who deliver this level of professionalism, communication, and quality. If you need reliable, honest plumbing work done especially anything involving water heaters or line repairs Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the team you want. Highly recommended.

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.
