I was searching for a plumber near me that made it easy to book online, and stumbled upon Drip Too Hard Plumbing honestly, they were the only company with a fast, modern website that showed real prices and offered instant online booking. A few months ago, Harry and Jon came out to our home in Emerald Isle near the Chevy Chase Country Club to inspect our sewer line through the inside access point. They arrived right on time, wore shoe covers the whole visit, and clearly showed us the root blockage on camera. They completed the sewer line repair the same day, and even though they had to dig in the front yard, they cleaned up so well you’d never know any work had been done. Since that first repair, we’ve also had them handle a bathroom plumbing remodel and a water softener installation, and once again, the experience was flawless. Their DTH Promise fast response, honest communication, and real warranty coverage proved true from start to finish. It made us feel safe about the work and confident that we finally found a reliable Glendale plumber we can count on for any future Glendale plumbing service needs. The pricing was very fair for the quality and professionalism they deliver.

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

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.
