I manage another smoke shop in Burbank and when our back-room sink started flooding, I reached out to Drip Too Hard Plumbing again. They arrived fast, handled the clog like pros, and replaced the faulty faucet cartridge before I even finished my coffee. The techs were on time, professional, and kept everything spotless while working around customers. They even serviced our commercial water heater to prevent future issues. It’s hard to find tradesmen this responsive and respectful. If your business ever has an emergency plumbing problem in Burbank, I highly recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing for quick drain cleaning, faucet repairs, and water heater service.

Terrible. Needs new equipment. Quoted me 900 and another plumber came and did the job for 85. The other plumber solved the issue in 10 minutes. Plus he got here late and was on his phone even though we needed the job done asap.

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.
