I’m a licensed contractor based in Glendale, and Drip Too Hard Plumbing has become the only Glendale plumber I trust for my projects. I’ve used them for multiple properties throughout Glendale, and most recently for the full plumbing system on a new-construction home we built in Altadena. Their work is clean, code-accurate, and they stay coordinated with inspections better than any plumbing crew I’ve worked with. Their DTHPromise shows up every time fast communication, fair pricing, and a level of reliability that makes my job easier. Whether it’s a full rough-in on new construction or day-to-day Glendale plumbing service, they deliver the same consistency and professionalism.

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.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and trusting Drip Too Hard Plumbing for your sewer line repair, bathroom remodel, and water softener installation in Emerald Isle near the Chevy Chase Country Club.

Frequent Plumbing Concerns in Palos Verdes Estates
These issues come up again and again. We're ready for them in Palos Verdes Estates.
Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow
Learn more
Many Palos Verdes Estates homes built in the 1950s-60s still have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. The coastal air and moderately hard water accelerate this process, causing reduced water pressure and discolored water throughout properties in neighborhoods like Malaga Cove and Valmonte.
Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
Learn more
The mature eucalyptus and oak trees that define Palos Verdes Estates' character also create ongoing sewer line problems. Root systems seek out the moisture in aging clay and cast iron pipes, causing frequent backups in established neighborhoods like Montemalaga and Via Campesina.
Water heater making popping or rumbling noises
Learn more
The moderately hard water in Palos Verdes Estates causes significant sediment buildup in water heaters, especially in older homes near Malaga Cove Plaza and La Venta Inn areas. This sediment creates popping sounds as the heater works harder to heat water through the mineral layer.
Slab leak causing foundation concerns
Learn more
Palos Verdes Estates' location on coastal bluffs creates unstable soil conditions that can cause ground shifting and settling. This movement puts stress on copper pipes embedded in concrete slabs, leading to pinhole leaks that can damage foundations in hillside properties throughout Lunada Bay and Valmonte.
