I was looking for a reliable plumber in Glendale to handle a sewer issue at one of my rental properties, and Drip Too Hard Plumbing went above and beyond. Erik and his crew performed a full camera inspection, completed a hydro jetting to clear out years of buildup, repaired a cracked section of pipe, and installed a brand-new two-way cleanout all done efficiently and professionally. From the first call, the communication was clear and honest. The team showed up right on time, explained everything step-by-step, and made sure the area was spotless before leaving. You can tell this is a Glendale plumbing service that truly cares about quality and long-term results not just quick fixes. Scheduling through their website was super easy, and payment was smooth too. If you’re in Glendale and need a trustworthy plumber, I can’t recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing enough. My property’s sewer system is running perfectly now, and I’ll definitely be using them again for future plumbing work.

I was honestly nervous because the other office suites share the same system, and I couldn’t risk messing anything up. Drip Too Hard Plumbing came through big time the technicians showed up right on time, well-mannered, respectful, and even wore shoe covers to keep everything clean. The job was done fast, safely, and at a fair price. If you ever need an emergency plumber or emergency plumbing service, these guys are the real deal. Easily the best plumber in Burbank professional, reliable, and the only plumbing service in Burbank I’ll be calling from now on and recommending my to friends!!

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.
