Our water heater went out late at night and we needed an emergency plumber in La Crescenta. Drip Too Hard Plumbing showed up quickly, repaired the water heater, and had everything working again. Super professional and fair on price -- very grateful for the fast service.

Didn’t realize Drip Too Hard Plumbing had just opened their new Burbank location, but they treated me like a longtime customer from day one. I was searching for a plumber in Burbank after my sewer line suddenly backed up and flooded part of the yard. Erik and his team answered right away, showed up that same morning, and handled the emergency sewer line repair quickly and professionally. Their communication was excellent — they explained the problem, showed me the footage from their camera inspection, and kept me updated through every step. You can tell they take pride in their work and care about their customers. If you ever need a Burbank plumber who’s honest, fast, and delivers top-tier customer service, I can’t recommend them enough.

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re proud to be serving the Burbank community and appreciate you trusting Drip Too Hard Plumbing with your sewer line repair.

Palms Plumbing Problems We Solve
From older pipes to local water conditions, we've seen it all across Palms.
Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow
Learn more
Many Palms homes built in the 1940s-1960s still have original galvanized supply lines that are now severely corroded. These aging pipes create low water pressure, discolored water, and frequent leaks throughout properties near Motor Avenue and the Palms Recreation Center area.
Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
Learn more
Mature palm trees and ficus trees lining Palms streets send aggressive roots into aging cast iron sewer lines. Properties along National Boulevard and Motor Avenue are particularly susceptible to root blockages that cause recurring backups and require professional root cutting services.
Water heater making popping or rumbling noises
Learn more
LADWP's moderately hard water accelerates mineral sediment buildup in water heater tanks throughout Palms. The sediment hardens at the tank bottom, creating popping sounds during heating cycles and reducing efficiency in these older neighborhood homes.
Slab leak causing foundation concerns
Learn more
Post-war construction methods in 1940s-1950s Palms bungalows make them prone to slab leaks as copper and galvanized pipes deteriorate beneath concrete foundations. These hidden leaks can cause significant water damage and foundation shifting if not detected early.
