I am in the process of constructing a small ADU. My contractor ditched in the middle. He did plumbing very badly. When I contacted a few plumbing companies, most of them suggested to redo what he had already done to avoid problems in future. When I called Drop hard plumbing for their opinion, Mr Eric first came and examined everything and said he would send another expert to access the situation and then give a price. As said, he sent an expert who explained everything to me in the language I can understand what was the issue, what may be future issues if I continue to go with what the other plumber did, and what is the better solution. I liked his explanation and that is a deal breaker. I thought this company may be my best option and asked them to go further in their investigation before giving the price. Eric came with a camera and showed me wmthe issue and gave me a price. After a couple of days they finished the work to my satisfaction with a warranty of 5 years for parts and labor. I think that is a better part as I can call them if there is any issue with what they did. I strongly recommend Eric and his team for your plumbing issues. Ben Kaila La crescenta home owner

Ben, thank you for taking the time to share your experience in such detail. We know how stressful it can be when a project gets left unfinished, so we're glad Eric and the team could step in, explain everything clearly, and complete the ADU plumbing with a long-term warranty you can rely on. It means a lot to earn your trust, and we'll always be here if you need us in the future.

I’m a homeowner and father living near NoHo West in North Hollywood, and when our old water heater broke early in the morning, I suddenly found myself searching for a North Hollywood plumber who could actually respond right away. Every plumber near me I called either didn’t answer or couldn’t come out for days. Drip Too Hard Plumbing was the only team that treated it like a real emergency. Erik picked up immediately, walked me through what to do next, and had Harry and Jon at my home the same morning. They diagnosed the problem, confirmed the unit had completely failed, and handled a full emergency tankless water heater replacement plus a gas line upgrade to make sure everything ran safely and up to code. What really stood out was the level of care. As a dad, having strangers working in your home can be stressful, but these guys were incredibly respectful. Shoe covers, clean work, clear explanations, and constant updates. You can genuinely feel their DTHPromise in the way they operate honest communication, no surprises, and workmanship that actually gives you peace of mind. Within a few hours, we had hot water again, the installation looked flawless, and my kids were able to shower and get ready without chaos. For anyone in North Hollywood looking for a plumber near me or a team that truly steps up during emergencies, Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the one to trust. Huge thank you to Harry, Erik, and Jon for saving our day.

Thank you so much for sharing this experience with our team. We know how stressful it is to lose hot water, especially with a family at home, so we’re really glad Harry, Erik, and Jon were able to get out to your North Hollywood property quickly and complete the tankless replacement the same day. Our goal with every job especially emergency calls is to deliver clear communication, clean workmanship, and reliable solutions you can feel confident about. That’s the heart of our DTHPromise, and it means a lot to hear it made a difference for your family. We truly appreciate you choosing us as your North Hollywood plumbing team, and we’re here anytime you need support in the future. Thank you again for the trust and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. -Drip Too Hard Plumbing Team

They are changing the game with water filtration! I called Erick and they came out and replaced my old water heater with a new High Efficiency one plus they were able to install a brand new water filtration system for my WHOLE HOUSE!! Their customer service is amazing plus they offered a money back guarantee just in case. Getting quotes from several companies was a pain but since they price matched, that made it easy…HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We look forward to being your go-to team for any future plumbing needs!

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.
