We recently finished building our new home in Glendale, and hiring Drip Too Hard Plumbing for the full new construction plumbing was one of the best decisions we made. From start to finish, Harry and Jon were punctual, professional, and incredibly detail-oriented. They handled everything rough-in, sewer, vents, water lines, gas lines, and the fixture installs with the same consistency and quality you expect from a top-tier company. Every inspection passed clean, the workmanship was flawless, and any questions we had were explained clearly. The DTHPromise gave us extra peace of mind, and even after the build was done, they continued to check in and make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to find a plumbing company that treats your home like their own, but these guys do. If you’re building a new home or doing a remodel in Glendale, Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the only plumbing company I’d recommend. Absolute professionals.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Reviews like yours mean everything to us — especially on a full new-construction plumbing project in Glendale. Harry and Jon take a lot of pride in their workmanship, and hearing that the rough-in, sewer, vents, water lines, gas lines, and all final fixture installs came out clean and code-perfect truly makes our day. We built the DTHPromise around exactly what you described — clear communication, reliable scheduling, clean inspections, and treating your home like our own from start to finish. Knowing that peace of mind showed throughout your build means we did our job right. If you ever need us again — whether it’s a remodel, an addition, or any Glendale plumbing service — we’re always here for you and your family. Thank you for trusting Drip Too Hard Plumbing with your new home.

I needed a Glendale plumber after my landscapers messed up my sewer and gas lines. Found Drip Too Hard Plumbing online and loved how easy their site was to use for a free estimate. Erik (the owner) and Jon showed up fast, gave an honest quote, and didn’t pressure me at all. They even wrote off the sewer line inspection cost in the repair. Super clean and professional work — they handled both the emergency sewer line repair in Glendale and gas line installation & repair same day. If you need Glendale plumbing, these are the guys to call!

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.
