We recently finished building our new home in Glendale, and hiring Drip Too Hard Plumbing for the full new construction plumbing was one of the best decisions we made. From start to finish, Harry and Jon were punctual, professional, and incredibly detail-oriented. They handled everything  rough-in, sewer, vents, water lines, gas lines, and the fixture installs  with the same consistency and quality you expect from a top-tier company. Every inspection passed clean, the workmanship was flawless, and any questions we had were explained clearly. The DTHPromise gave us extra peace of mind, and even after the build was done, they continued to check in and make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find a plumbing company that treats your home like their own, but these guys do. If you’re building a new home or doing a remodel in Glendale, Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the only plumbing company I’d recommend. Absolute professionals.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Reviews like yours mean everything to us — especially on a full new-construction plumbing project in Glendale. Harry and Jon take a lot of pride in their workmanship, and hearing that the rough-in, sewer, vents, water lines, gas lines, and all final fixture installs came out clean and code-perfect truly makes our day. We built the DTHPromise around exactly what you described — clear communication, reliable scheduling, clean inspections, and treating your home like our own from start to finish. Knowing that peace of mind showed throughout your build means we did our job right. If you ever need us again — whether it’s a remodel, an addition, or any Glendale plumbing service — we’re always here for you and your family. Thank you for trusting Drip Too Hard Plumbing with your new home.

I needed a reliable plumber in Tujunga and contacted Drip Too Hard Plumbing for a tankless water heater problem that was showing an error code and not producing consistent hot water. I had planned to flush the unit myself until I discovered the previous homeowner's installer never installed service valves, so the job quickly became more than I could manage. From the first call, communication was clear and professional. They started by installing the proper service valves so the existing tankless water heater could be flushed and diagnosed correctly. After the flush, the unit continued to throw the same error code, and it unfortunately became clear the system had reached the end of its life. I truly appreciated and respected Drip Too Hard Plumbing's honesty and work to that point and chose to continue the job with them. They explained everything in detail and wrote off the cost of the attempted repair instead of charging for work that didn’t solve the issue. We moved forward with a full tankless water heater replacement, and the new unit was installed cleanly and efficiently. Everything was fully tested, there were no error codes, and the hot water has been working perfectly since. If you’re looking for a trustworthy plumber near me in the Tujunga area who stands behind their work and communicates clearly, I’d highly recommend 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.
