We called Drip Too Hard Plumbing when we needed a sewer line repair at our home in La Cañada. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and professional. They arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and gave us options that made sense without pressure. What really stood out was how clean and thorough the job was—they treated our property with care and got the repair done quickly. It’s rare to find a plumber in La Cañada who not only knows sewer line work inside and out but also backs their work with a solid warranty. That gave us a lot of peace of mind. If you’re looking for reliable, warranty-backed plumbing service in La Cañada, this is the team to call.

Thank you for the great feedback! We’re glad our team could deliver a clean, professional sewer line repair in La Cañada with the peace of mind of our warranty-backed plumbing service.

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 needed hydro jetting at my home in Burbank after my sewer line backed up and called Drip Too Hard Plumbing. Erik came out on a Sunday and showed up right on time, which I really appreciated. He explained the hydro cleaning process clearly and used professional equipment to fully clear the main sewer line. Everything is draining perfectly now. If you're looking for a reliable plumber in Burbank for hydro jetting or sewer cleaning, I definitely recommend Erik and Drip Too Hard Plumbing.

Thank you so much for the great review! We're glad we could help get your sewer line fully cleared and flowing properly again. Sewer backups in Burbank can be stressful, so we always prioritize fast response times — even on Sundays.

We truly appreciate you trusting Drip Too Hard Plumbing for your hydro cleaning and sewer service in Burbank. If you ever need a reliable plumber again, we're just a call away.
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.
