I’ve been building and remodeling homes around Burbank for decades, and it’s not easy finding plumbers who know what they’re doing anymore. Drip Too Hard Plumbing has been a solid exception. They’ve handled sewer line replacements, hydro jetting, and liner installs for me on multiple projects, and every time the work’s been top-notch.Their crew’s sharp, respectful, and they actually care about doing things the right way. When I call them, I know the job’s getting done right the first time no shortcuts, no excuses.

Our crew takes pride in doing things the right way — no shortcuts, no excuses — and it’s great working with contractors who value quality just as much as we do. Thanks for always calling on Drip Too Hard Plumbing.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this — we really appreciate it. Late-night plumbing issues are stressful, so we’re glad we were able to get out quickly and take care of the valve problem without any pressure or upselling. Our goal is always to explain the situation clearly, give real options, and let you decide what makes the most sense for your home. Harry will be especially happy to hear your kind words. He takes a lot of pride in being helpful, transparent, and making sure customers feel taken care of. We’re also glad the water heater tips were useful — preventative advice is just as important as the repair itself. Thank you for recommending us to others in La Crescenta and for trusting us with future sewer line work. We appreciate your support through our rebrand and we’re excited to keep delivering the level of service you experienced. – Drip Too Hard Plumbing

I’m a homeowner in Glendale near Adventist on Chevy Chase, and we had an emergency when our old water heater completely failed late in the evening. I searched for a plumber near me and found Drip Too Hard Plumbing, and I’m honestly glad I did. They answered right away, came out quickly, and took the time to explain everything before starting any work. After inspecting the situation, they recommended a tankless water heater installation and walked me through the options, costs, and what made the most sense for my home. The installation itself was clean, organized, and handled professionally from start to finish. What stood out most was how calm and reassuring they were during an emergency no pressure, no scare tactics, just clear communication and solid work. Everything was tested thoroughly before they left, and the hot water has been flawless since. They also backed the work with their DTHPromise, which gave me a lot of confidence that the job was done correctly and will last. It’s not easy to find a Glendale plumber who shows up fast, explains things honestly, and delivers quality work when you actually need it. If you’re in Glendale and ever need an emergency plumber or are considering a tankless water heater, I’d definitely recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing.

Top Plumbing Issues in Monrovia

These issues come up again and again. We're ready for them in Monrovia.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Many of Monrovia's 1950s-1970s ranch and craftsman homes still have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. The moderately hard water from Golden State Water Company accelerates this corrosion, leading to restricted water flow and rusty water.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Monrovia's mature oak and pepper trees, especially in established neighborhoods like Old Town and Library District, send roots into aging cast iron and clay sewer lines. These roots cause recurring backups and require professional cleaning or line replacement.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

Hard water minerals from Monrovia's groundwater supply create heavy sediment buildup in water heater tanks. This sediment causes popping and rumbling sounds as water heats, and significantly reduces efficiency and lifespan of the unit.

Slab leak causing foundation concerns

Learn more

Many of Monrovia's ranch-style homes from the 1950s-1970s were built on concrete slabs with embedded copper water lines. Age and ground movement near the foothills cause these lines to develop leaks that can damage foundations and flooring.
