I run a small convenience store in Tujunga and late one night our tankless water heater stopped working, right as one of the shut-off valves started leaking. I called Drip Too Hard Plumbing for emergency help and they showed up fast, diagnosed the issue, and had everything fixed before closing. What really stood out was their DTHPromise of fast service, upfront pricing, and not trying to add things we didn’t need — that honestly made us feel safe. It’s good to know we have a reliable local plumber nearby for any Tujunga plumbing service, day or night.

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.

We had a plumbing problem late at night and needed an emergency plumber quick Drip Too Hard Plumbing arrived faster than expected diagnosed the valve issue and gave me choices instead of pushing the priciest fix they even gave tips on our water heater for the future super professional and fair I'd recommend them to anyone in La Crescenta needing plumbing work I really loved harry and how helpfully he was I'm going to be using them for our future sewer line repairs also!!!!! They recently rebranded and have been killing it

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

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.
