I’m a property owner with a few rentals in Burbank, and Drip Too Hard Plumbing has become my go-to team. Erik and his crew have handled gas line repairs, sewer line work, and a water heater replacement for my tenants — all done quickly, cleanly, and professionally. Finding a plumber in Burbank who actually communicates and shows up on time is rare, but these guys do it every time. I’d recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing Burbank to anyone who wants honest pricing and real craftsmanship.

We had this plumber in La Crescenta come out for a water softener install and a whole home filter. Super easy to work with, showed up when they said they would, and the water in our house is already so much better. Definitely recommend if you need a water softener or just a good plumber.

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.
