I’ve used Drip Too Hard Plumbing for multiple properties over the years, including my place in Burbank, and they’ve earned my trust every time. Most recently I needed a drain cleaned that kept backing up, and they found the real cause with a camera and took care of it with a hydro jet. The crew was on time, respectful of the home, and made the whole process simple. Their DTHPromise gives me peace of mind, and honestly, they’re the only ones I call when I need a reliable plumber near me in Burbank.

Thank you for continuing to choose us for your Burbank home and rental properties. Drain issues can be frustrating, so it’s great to hear the inspection and jetting resolved everything cleanly. We work hard to give clear communication and dependable service on every visit, and it means a lot to know that effort stands out to you. If another plumbing situation comes up down the line, our team is always ready to help. -Drip Too Hard Plumbing Burbank

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.
