Our reputation is built on reviews like these. We bring the same commitment to every Placentia area home.
I’m a homeowner and father living near NoHo West in North Hollywood, and when our old water heater broke early in the morning, I suddenly found myself searching for a North Hollywood plumber who could actually respond right away. Every plumber near me I called either didn’t answer or couldn’t come out for days. Drip Too Hard Plumbing was the only team that treated it like a real emergency. Erik picked up immediately, walked me through what to do next, and had Harry and Jon at my home the same morning. They diagnosed the problem, confirmed the unit had completely failed, and handled a full emergency tankless water heater replacement plus a gas line upgrade to make sure everything ran safely and up to code. What really stood out was the level of care. As a dad, having strangers working in your home can be stressful, but these guys were incredibly respectful. Shoe covers, clean work, clear explanations, and constant updates. You can genuinely feel their DTHPromise in the way they operate honest communication, no surprises, and workmanship that actually gives you peace of mind. Within a few hours, we had hot water again, the installation looked flawless, and my kids were able to shower and get ready without chaos. For anyone in North Hollywood looking for a plumber near me or a team that truly steps up during emergencies, Drip Too Hard Plumbing is the one to trust. Huge thank you to Harry, Erik, and Jon for saving our day.

Thank you so much for sharing this experience with our team. We know how stressful it is to lose hot water, especially with a family at home, so we’re really glad Harry, Erik, and Jon were able to get out to your North Hollywood property quickly and complete the tankless replacement the same day. Our goal with every job especially emergency calls is to deliver clear communication, clean workmanship, and reliable solutions you can feel confident about. That’s the heart of our DTHPromise, and it means a lot to hear it made a difference for your family. We truly appreciate you choosing us as your North Hollywood plumbing team, and we’re here anytime you need support in the future. Thank you again for the trust and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. -Drip Too Hard Plumbing Team
I called drip to hard plumbing for after I was looking for the longest time to find a plumber In la Crescenta, I can trust to install a new water softener for me and replace a broken water heater. They came installed a softener and tankless water heater all in the same day, very good price not cheap but I waited to leave this review but after they actually came and honored there warranty I knew the company was worth every penny the water heater broke they came next day installed a new one no questions asked I didn't have to wait 3 weeks!!!

Christian, thank you for the thoughtful review! We know how important it is to have a plumber you can trust, so we're glad we could take care of your water softener and tankless water heater installation in La Crescenta the same day. Standing by our warranty is a big part of what we do, and it means a lot that you noticed. We'll always be here when you need us.
I am in the process of constructing a small ADU. My contractor ditched in the middle. He did plumbing very badly. When I contacted a few plumbing companies, most of them suggested to redo what he had already done to avoid problems in future. When I called Drop hard plumbing for their opinion, Mr Eric first came and examined everything and said he would send another expert to access the situation and then give a price. As said, he sent an expert who explained everything to me in the language I can understand what was the issue, what may be future issues if I continue to go with what the other plumber did, and what is the better solution. I liked his explanation and that is a deal breaker. I thought this company may be my best option and asked them to go further in their investigation before giving the price. Eric came with a camera and showed me wmthe issue and gave me a price. After a couple of days they finished the work to my satisfaction with a warranty of 5 years for parts and labor. I think that is a better part as I can call them if there is any issue with what they did. I strongly recommend Eric and his team for your plumbing issues. Ben Kaila La crescenta home owner

Ben, thank you for taking the time to share your experience in such detail. We know how stressful it can be when a project gets left unfinished, so we're glad Eric and the team could step in, explain everything clearly, and complete the ADU plumbing with a long-term warranty you can rely on. It means a lot to earn your trust, and we'll always be here if you need us in the future.
Top Plumbing Issues in Placentia
These issues come up again and again. We're ready for them in Placentia.
Water heater making popping or rumbling noises
Learn more
Hard water from Yorba Linda Water District causes significant sediment buildup in Placentia water heaters. The mineral-rich water creates thick layers of calcium and magnesium deposits at the bottom of tanks, causing loud popping and rumbling noises as water bubbles through the sediment during heating cycles.
Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
Learn more
Mature street trees throughout established Placentia neighborhoods like Old Town and Kraemer-Villa Park send aggressive roots into aging clay sewer lines. These 1960s-era pipes develop small cracks over time, attracting roots that eventually cause major blockages and require professional root cutting or pipe replacement.
Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow
Learn more
Many Placentia homes built during the 1950s-1970s post-war boom still have original galvanized steel pipes that are now severely corroded. Combined with the area's hard water, these pipes develop thick rust buildup that restricts water flow and causes frequent leaks throughout Northeast Placentia and Golden Triangle neighborhoods.
Slab leak causing foundation concerns
Learn more
Post-war tract homes in Placentia were built on concrete slab foundations with copper pipes running beneath. Over decades, soil shifting and pipe corrosion from hard water create leaks under the slab, causing foundation damage and requiring specialized detection and repair techniques common in mid-century neighborhoods.
