I called Drip Too Hard Plumbing when I needed a plumber in Glendale to inspect and repair a gas line leak, and they were incredible from start to finish. The technician Jonathan arrived quickly, checked everything for safety, and explained the problem in a way I could actually understand. They replaced the damaged gas line, pressure-tested it, and made sure everything was up to code before leaving. It’s rare to find a Glendale plumber this professional and detail-oriented. If you ever need gas line repair or installation in Glendale, these are the guys to call — honest, fast, and truly skilled at what they do.

I recently had to deal with an unexpected plumbing emergency at one of my rental units in the Starlight Hills area of Burbank off Kenneth Rd, and Drip Too Hard Plumbing came through for me in a huge way. My tenant called late in the evening about a major backup, and I needed someone trustworthy to handle it fast since I couldn’t get there myself. I searched for a Burbank plumber and reached out to DTHP, and they immediately set the tone with clear communication and real professionalism. They went out the same day, performed a full emergency sewer line inspection, showed my tenant exactly what was happening in the line, and then completed a hydro jetting service on the spot to clear the issue before it got any worse. What stood out most was how calm, respectful, and transparent they were with both me and my tenant no pressure, no fear tactics, just real solutions. You can genuinely feel their DTHPromise in the way they operate: on time, clean work, straight answers, and no surprises on the bill. If you’re anywhere in Burbank and searching for a plumber near me, or need help with a sewer backup, drain issue, or hydro jetting, I honestly can’t recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing enough. They made a stressful situation incredibly easy, and my tenant was taken care of from start to finish.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this experience. We know how stressful it can be when a tenant calls with a sewer issue, especially after hours, so we’re really glad our team was able to respond quickly and get everything handled the same day. Our goal is always to make both property owners and tenants feel supported, informed, and taken care of that’s the heart of the DTHPromise, and it means a lot that it came through for you on this job. We appreciate you trusting us with your Burbank property in the Starlight Hills area, and we’re always here whenever you or your tenants need anything. Thank you again for being such a great client. -Drip Too Hard Plumbing team

We recently hired Drip Too Hard Plumbing when our old water heater went out, and I have to say they’re the best La Crescenta plumber we’ve ever worked with. From the first call, their team was professional, explained our options clearly, and gave us a fair estimate. We decided on a tankless water heater install, and the whole process was seamless—super clean work and they even took the time to walk us through how to use it. A few weeks later we had another issue with our drains, and they came out right away for a sewer line repair. The job was done quickly, with no surprises, and it’s been working perfectly since. If anyone is looking for a reliable plumber in La Crescenta, this is the company to call. Worth every penny for the peace of mind and quality of service.

Pasadena Plumbing Problems We Solve

Local homes face unique challenges. Here's what we see most often in Pasadena.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Many of Pasadena's Craftsman and Spanish Colonial homes from the 1920s-1940s still have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. These pipes create rust-colored water, low pressure, and frequent leaks throughout neighborhoods like Bungalow Heaven and San Rafael.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Pasadena's mature street trees and lush landscaping create ongoing root intrusion problems in aging clay sewer lines. Neighborhoods with established trees like Altadena and Linda Vista experience frequent drain backups and blockages from aggressive root systems.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

Pasadena's moderately hard water causes sediment buildup in water heaters, creating popping and rumbling sounds as the unit heats water. This is especially common in older homes where water heaters work harder due to mineral-rich water from the local supply.

Low water pressure throughout the house

Learn more

Corroded galvanized pipes in Pasadena's pre-war homes restrict water flow, creating poor pressure throughout the house. Combined with mineral buildup from hard water, many historic properties in Old Pasadena and surrounding areas experience significant pressure loss.
