Had an emergency plumbing issue and called Eric, the best plumber in La Crescenta. He showed up quickly, was very professional, and even took care of a water heater repair while he was here. Great service, highly recommend.

I live in Tujunga and woke up to my whole home backing up every drain was clogged and I had no idea what was going on. I searched for plumbers near me and found Drip Too Hard Plumbing, and I’m so glad I did. They came out same day, did a full camera inspection, and showed me exactly where my sewer line was damaged and full of heavy roots. Eric and his team were professional, honest, and explained every step. They ended up digging out the front yard to access the line and installed 10 feet of trenchless liner to rebuild the damaged section. The difference was immediate everything started flowing perfectly again. What really stood out was how clean, organized, and stress-free they made the whole process. Their DTHP Promise gave me a lot of confidence that the job was done correctly and built to last. It’s rare to find a Tujunga plumber that responds this quickly and actually solves the root issue instead of giving temporary fixes. If you’re anywhere in Tujunga or the surrounding area and need reliable help, I highly recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing. They’re definitely my go-to from now on.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. A full home backup is one of the most stressful situations a homeowner can wake up to, and I’m really glad we were able to get out to Tujunga same-day and get everything flowing again. Once we ran the camera and saw how badly the roots had taken over that section of your sewer line, we knew a trenchless liner was the right fix something that would actually solve the problem, not just clear it for a few weeks. Hearing that the difference was immediate means a lot to our whole team. What you mentioned about the process feeling clean, organized, and low-stress… that’s exactly what we aim for with every job. Plumbing issues are already overwhelming, so our job is to make everything else easy and transparent. Thank you for trusting us with such an important repair and for recommending us to your neighbors. We’re always here whenever you need us. — Drip Too Hard Plumbing Glendale Team

We had a leak from our water heater in La Crescenta and needed emergency plumbing fast. Drip Too Hard Plumbing came right away, did a leak detection, and repaired the water heater on the spot. Super professional and fair service worth every penny

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We're glad we could get out to La Crescenta quickly, track down the leak, and repair your water heater on the spot. Our goal is fast, clean, and fair service—especially in emergencies. If you ever need anything else (or if that water heater gives you another hiccup), we're here 24/7 and back our work with a 1-year workmanship warranty. — Erik, Owner Drip Too Hard Plumbing

What Northridge Homeowners Call Us About

Years of local experience means we know what to expect in Northridge.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Many Northridge tract homes built in the 1950s-70s still have original galvanized plumbing that's now corroding and restricting water flow. These aging pipes commonly develop pinhole leaks and cause brown or discolored water throughout homes in neighborhoods like Sherwood Forest and Northridge East.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

LADWP's moderately hard water accelerates sediment buildup in water heater tanks throughout Northridge. This mineral accumulation creates popping and rumbling sounds, particularly common in garage-mounted units typical of ranch-style homes in the area.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Mature landscaping throughout Northridge neighborhoods creates persistent root intrusion problems in aging sewer lines. Eucalyptus and oak trees common in areas near Chatsworth Reservoir are particularly aggressive in seeking water sources through underground pipes.

Slab leak causing foundation concerns

Learn more

Post-war ranch homes throughout Northridge are built on concrete slab foundations where water lines were embedded directly in concrete. As these copper lines age and shift with ground movement, they develop leaks that can cause significant foundation damage if not detected early.
